Nintendo Switch: 10 Third-Party Franchises We Need To See

2. No More Heroes

No, it's too precious. I won't allow it. The partnership between Grasshopper Manufacture (read: Suda51) and Nintendo simply cannot be allowed to end, not after it produced No More Heroes and its sequel. I can personally guarantee that no other set of circumstances will ever again result in a Nintendo exclusive with humor so crass, combat so fetishised and an experience so wholeheartedly unique.

No More Heroes released on the Wii, a system whose hardware compares unfavorably to a modern smartphone. Give Grasshopper a more powerful system like the Switch and imagine what nonsense they could churn out. I haven't dusted off this word in years, but I have no better adjective on hand: It would be awesome.

Sure, we won't have a Wiimote, but as a supremely lazy individual, I count that as a bonus. Better still, Suda51 himself confirmed that the series isn't technically dead yet.

There's hope, people.

A freelance games writer, you say? Typically battling his current RPG addiction and ceaseless perfectionism? A fan of horror but too big a sissy to play for more than a couple of hours? Spends far too much time on JRPGs and gets way too angry with card games? Well that doesn't sound anything like me.
