No More Heroes 3 will no doubt have certain key features - hyper violent levels in which you wipe out minions, tough boss battles, and menial jobs. A familiar gag in the series is that Travis Touchdown has to make ends meet, one way or another, and often does this with undesirable work.
Publisher Marvelous has shared another video through its Japanese Twitter account, in this case fixing a broken toilet and mowing a lawn; motion controls are involved, of course.
It's part of the quirky loop in the series; if you want to be the world's best assassin, you'll have to earn it.

Really looking forward to this
I hope there is going to be crazy motion controls, HD rumble, IR sensor uses for these jobs. Otherwise it will be a bit boring.
absolutely hyped 100% for this, the open world is 4x bigger and the new odd jobs and locations look really nice, only concern is the resolution and framerate in the open world tbh, other than that it's everything i ever wanted in a no more heroes sequel
Yeah that looks not like something I'd ever want to play.
I was really looking forward to this, but the more I see the more I'm put off with the poor visuals and performance.
I might eventually grab it if it ever goes on deep discount but I've cancelled my pre order.
I beat 1 when it came out but never got round to 2. I bought them both again recently so aiming to beat 2 before 3 comes out. Game preordered.
Too bad that most Nintendo action games are more hack and slash. I wish they implemented some shooting mechanics alas Killer 7. But Nintendo seriously needs to compete on this market with some brilliant 3rd person shooters since Switch lacks in such regards severely. There is not a single game on Switch that would be even close quality wise with Mass Effect, Vanquish( so strange to omit this co soldering their good relationship with Platinum games), GTA, Metal Gear Solid. Resident Evil games are the only decent 3rd person shooters, but there is not a single game that would scratch that itch. Splatoon is the only one, but it has no story mode, and Ratchet and Clank might still be a more fun game. In terms of more adult 3rd person shooters- Sniper Elite still does t match the quality and replayability of GTA, Vanquish or MGS. Do something Nintendo!
I enjoyed doing the jobs in No More Heroes 1
@Znake Saints Row 3 and 4 scratched that itch a bit for me. Love that series even more than GTA actually.
The jobs are just awful but that’s the point. The coconut one in the first game is mind-numbing.
Maybe I should get this game day 1, it looks as good as the previous 2.
@Znake actually, there's a lot of great action games on the Switch, and a lot of FPS.
@Dethmunk actually Doom after the lat update looks almost the same to me as the ps4 version, it’s incredible how great that looks and to me plays better with joycons than on ps4. But I was speaking about 3rd person shooters!!! No online games or other genres. I don’t understand why do you guys even mention games like Metroid and Bayonetta, so please stick to the subject. Otherwise Switch has better exclusives than the competition overall-atleast for me
Music is on point as usual
I love how even after becoming the #1 ranked assassin in the UAA twice, Travis still has to perform odd jobs just to make ends meet.
@Znake what are you talking about? Splatoon 2 has a story mode, which was great fun, and they even came out with the Octoling single player expansion.
Wow yeah, I definitely want to mow lawns and plunge toilets during the limited game time that I have…

@Znake I'd say Splatoon is one of the best 3rd person shooters on the market. And how many 3rd person shooters w/o online even exist these days? I don't think Xbox or Playstation have any exclusives that fit that description...
@link3710 Doesn’t Ratchet and Clank fall into similar category? No matter, 3rd person shooters are a huge lackluster on Switch anyway.
@Znake Is Ratchet and Clank really even a third person shooter? I always considered it more of a 3D platformer with shooting elements (like Metroid Prime), but I also only played the original so I don't know how the series has evolved.
@link3710 it’s far more about shooting than platforming. It’s strange to me that Nintendo abandoned this style of games since Jet Force Gemini on N64 is in my opinion to real source of the genre, and Ratchet evolved it for the next gen on ps2. We need more super polished 3rd person shooters. Look at MGSV or Vanquish-super precise intense gameplay, almost no flaws. Sniper Elite is except the interesting slow mo gimmick a C tier game in comparison.
@Znake We do have Doom (which was utterly fantastic IMO), all the Bioshock and most of the Borderlands games, the Wolfenstein and Alien: Isolation and all the Metro games.
I'm curious, outside of true exclusives (Halo, Ratchet and Clank, etc), what fps that are missing would you want to be on Switch? Just CoD and Battlefield?
@link3710 Please check what 3rd person shooters are before you post a comment about a totally different genre. Thank you
...realistically? They're any game where you shoot with a gun in 3d. It's a very broad genre with tons of subgenres.
I genuinely don't know which of the games I mentioned aren't shooters.
@link3710 please go Troll to other groups!
@Znake Wasn't trolling, but w/e. I'm not really sure how a shooter involving shooting is a controversial take.
@link3710 Third person shooter is a game when you see a character from a third person perspective- like Metal Gear, Vanquish, Mass Effect. You can’t compare those with First Person Shooters( perspective with seeing things with your own eyes/ limited field of view), even though Doom Eternal also had a lot of platforming. Usually when you see the entire character, you have different environmental awareness and that usually comes with different gameplay mechanics. Many genres today evolve into fewer styles that incorporate similar gimmicks from other genres, but the best comparison is- Check game like Metal Gear Solid/Mass Effect/ Last of Us, and compare it to DOOM/ Borderlands.
I'll be honest, I've played a bunch of those and genuinely can't recall which ones were first person versus third. Like, I'd have guessed Mass Effect was first person despite completing the trilogy twice now. I'll take your word for it that it makes a difference, I've never been super into shooters.
