This piece was originally a bit of a ramble created to explain why I loved this game and why it should win a “Game of the Year” tournament my group of friends were having. I’ve edited it a little to fit the format of the website, but the context is key.


Naming No More Heroes III my Game of the Year was no easy feat. It was always a hard battle between it and Yakuza: Like A Dragon for me, and hey, in many ways it still is. But the reason I’m stumping so hard for it is because it’s basically the perfect finale to not just the No More Heroes series but also this entire story that Suda51 has been building out in his personal life from a meta perspective. It’s savage, irreverent, satirical, biting, and hilarious, and it also manages to be absurdly stylish with some of the grandest and strangest boss fights you’ll ever face. In a series KNOWN for having spectacular boss fights, No More Heroes III somehow manages to deliver the best of the bunch. In order to explain exactly why I hold NMH3 in such high regard I’m going to have to go way back and give you all the context as to how it’s a miracle this game even exists in the form it does.
