Episode 330: No More Heroes
Added 2020-10-05 07:01:01 +0000 UTCAfter more than a decade in game development, enigmatic creator Suda 51 had his American debut with Killer 7, but 2007 would bring about his first mainstream splash with No More Heroes. This series launched on the Wii when it was still white hot, and managed to distill the off-the-wall and often alienating ideas of Suda into a personality-driven action game. Nearly 13 years after we first met Travis Touchdown, just where has the series been, and where is it headed with its upcoming third game? On this episode, join Bob Mackey, Maddie Copp, and Matt McMuscles as the crew delves deep into the Garden of Madness to discover what makes this offbeat series so compelling.

Just wanted to pop in and say because of Bob's recommendation I picked up Travis Strikes Back and after beating NMH 1&2 on the switch. He's right. It's good, people!
