In his latest Beyond the D-Pad column at Netjak, Rick Healey ponders on the tension between the two concepts – a game you can just pick up and put down easily, and a game that can absorb you for countless hours.
"In one of the stranger moments for me this past week, I found myself comparing No More Heroes and Disgaea... Basically, both games are not something you can just pick up and put back down...
The problem, though, is that the portion of the video gaming market that goes for such in-depth games is fairly small. People seem to struggle with the reasoning behind why so many of the Wii games that have been successful early on have been mini-game collections, party games, and the like. Well, call me crazy, but I think it's because most of the really successful Wii games have been easy to just pick up or put down."
The PC version of No More Heroes has received an update that now allows gamers to enjoy it with a keyboard and mouse.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The more I think about it, the more I kinda want it to be a thing lol. Ryan Gosling would be awesome. He would need to play it less serious, but he's shown that he can be a goofball.
XSEED is one of a few publishers running a new Switch eShop sale for Black Friday 2023, and it includes the lowest prices ever for No More Heroes 1 and 2. The same goes for Senran Kagura Peach Ball, Trinity Trigger, and more.
