Another Touchdown for Travis
[Update:Pix ‘N Lovewill be restocking theCollector Editionandthe Deluxe Edition(which is signed by Suda51 himself, and sold out in minutes last time) ofNo More Hereos 3on Wednesday, July 21, 16:00 (UK time). if you want a second shot at either of these sets, get the site bookmarked and get ready to click as fast as you can! Purchasing either one is sure to be a desperate struggle.)
It’s been a big week for fans of theNo More Heroesseries and the larger “Grasshopper Manufacture Extended Universe.”Copies of Limited Run’s collector’s editions of the first twoNo More Heroesgames(featuring art books co-written by yours truly) have begun arriving in mailboxes.The Silver Case 2425, a collection of two visual novels from early in Grasshopper’s career, also just made it out to customers. The limited physical edition ofthatgame comes witha specialSilver Casecomic book that co-stars Midori Midorikawa, a teenage girl who can effortlessly kill a group of horny idiots.
She was also recently confirmed to bea boss inNo More Heroes 3.We can only imagine how she’ll end up getting along with Travis, gaming’s most notoriously idiotic, horny hero. Then again, Travis has changed a lot over the years. He even wears a“Fuck Racism” t-shirt in this new game, a decidedly socially conscious move for a once selfish man. It’s anyone’s guess as to where this is all going.
There are also hints thatNo More Heroes 3will cross over withKiller 7, another one of Grasshopper’s rabidly-adored titles. Yesterday,the official site for the game revealedthat the text adventure stories fromTravis Strikes Againwill continue into this new game.One screen from this decidedly retro modestrongly hints at an appearance fromKiller 7‘s Young Harman Smith. It’s a stretch, given that we just have this one screen to go on, but this wouldn’t actually be the first timethe two games crossed paths. It’s also worth noting that the prior text adventures for Travis featured appearances from both Dracula and Epona (from theZeldaseries). In the same scene. So again, anything’s possible.

The only thing we know for sure is, the time for this kind of fanciful speculation is almost over.No More Heroes 3launches next month, and just like withNo More Heroes 1, 2,andThe Silver Case 2425, it’s getting aphysical collector’s edition, this time from Pix ‘N Love. I have to guess that they waited to announce this package until those other special editions from Grasshopper had been delivered. By the looks of it, the timing was perfect. The site actually went down from excessive traffic earlier in the day. It’s back up now, so I’d jump on the chance to check it out while you can.
This collector’s edition comes with a 96-page art book, four lithographs, and a cardboard sleeve, and wouldn’t you know it, they’re only making 2,000 of them. History has shown that this artbook may end up being the rare first appearance of a new character that will end up being an important boss in some future Grasshopper title, so Grasshopper fans like myself have basically two choices here: buy now or fear missing out.
