In an interview with Wccftech, Suda 51 talked about various aspects of the game. Those looking forward to the game will find a lot of familiarity. One which way is that the game will have an open world in a similar fashion to the original game.

“It will definitely be a bigger open world than the original No More Heroes, but you have to remember that we’re a middle-class studio in terms of size. It takes a lot of skills, wisdom, and resources to make an open-world game, so it won’t be as big as something you see from huge companies like Ubisoft or Rockstar.”

It will also feature the iconic motion controls the game’s have been known for, even if motion controls are a bit out of fashion compared to when the series launched originally on the Wii

“It will definitely have the motions you know from the series [the Beam Katana charge motion…you know the one…was done to illustrate], but the real challenge was figuring out how to best use the Switch hardware. There are some interesting new possibilities.”

I hope the motion controls are not the only way to play the game. Especially when you intend to play it in handheld mode.

If I can't play and finish this game with the help of Pro Controller, that's a no thank you from me. I hate motion controls.

I hate tiny little controllers made for children. I guess that's nintendos target audience though. Talking about the stupid joycons.

 

[ROMhack]

Quietly interested but Suda hasn't made a good game in a long ass time, albeit partly because he took a step back in order to manage Grasshopper.

At this stage though I'm more interested in that collaborative horror game between him and Swery.

While NMH2's motion controls were among the better ones on the Wii, I would still prefer the option of regular controls. If I was feeling optimistic I would say that maybe the new tech in the Switch controls could possibly lead to a better experience.

 

[deriks]

So... Like No More Heroes

That kind of reply makes you look like your so called target audience. So you should be fine.

[evanft]

Wow two things I have no interest in.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I have a very low tolerance for jank in open-world games so I don't have high hopes for this.

I'm glad that Nintendo is keeping the series alive for fans, though.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

As long as it's like No More Heroes 2 and the PS3 version of 1 where you had the choice of normal controls/controller or motion controls. The wiimote the joycons are not.

Then again he specifically specified the the charging your saber motion controls, not the attack motion controls, you can still jackoff fine with the pro controller and handheld mode.

Being open world is a big turnoff for me, if motion controls are not deactivable, too, it's a no buy for me, sorry

 

[Birdo]

I'll add this to the list of games that could have been great, but were ruined by Nintendo's "Innovation".

 

[Bkdk]

Great, hopefully it will also offer more non linear story options and multiple endings, more customizations and exploration elements. I always like open world more and hopefully suda takes advantage of it.

 

[kurisu_1974]

Not sure if my Switch can even undock. Never tried.

 

[Virex]

If I can't play the whole game with the pro controller then no buy for me.

 

[Rat Rage]

Awesome! Motion controls are great. I love 'em!

 

[Jooxed]

Man I really wish they would port over 1 and 2

 

[Danjin44]

Same, I never got the chance to play the first two game and I really want to play them before the 3rd game comes out.

I am in the same boat, I bought Travis Strikes again which I haven't finished but I am having fun with. However I feel like I am missing out on little quips from previous games by not having played them

 

[Moses85]

I will never understand the Hype about Sudda51 and his Games and I am sad about that.

 

[ROMhack]

I like him but yeah... an acquired taste. Some of his stuff was thoroughly anti-gaming but often interesting enough not to ignore.

 

[kurisu_1974]

What would happen if Suda51 and Swery65 got together to make a Platinum game.

 

[Gargus]

He has had made some cool and interesting games but really he hasn't done anything in a awhile I would consider good, more like varying degrees of mediocrity. And honestly, I don't like no more heroes and I don't care to play games on the switch really so this game holds no real interest at all for me now that I think about it.

Shadows of the damned and lollipop chainsaw were the last games of his I enjoyed, but that was a while ago.

Well I don't know how much Nintendo has to do with it, thank Marvelous for putting them out as I believe after Ubisoft, that publisher has been publishing their work.

What was dope about NMH2 is you could use a classic controller to play through the whole game, works great in Dolphin with a standard gamepad

 

[Deleted member 738976]

The way it was meant to be played.

 

[kingbean]

As long as its playable on the switch lite...

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Whelp, see you later.

 

[kunonabi]

Very happy to have the motion controls back. Hopefully the combat is dumbed down like it was in NMH2.

 

[DigitalScrap]

 

[Danjin44]

I really hope they announce port of the first two game on Switch later on.

 

[DigitalScrap]

I really hope they announce port of the first two game on Switch later on.

Same! I would love it if they released all 3 of them at the same time (or the first two maybe a few weeks before the 3rd).

 

[mortal]

Damn I must be in the minority here, but I was super into the VHS anime art style.

 

[chaseroni]

This is one of the coolest TGA trailers ever, I love everything about it. Serious Digimon/Summer Wars vibes from the whole thing.

 

[Elektro Demon]

If I can't play and finish this game with the help of Pro Controller, that's a no thank you from me. I hate motion controls.

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Arkam]

Im happy for teh open world bit... but if its not VR/AR I dont want motion controls part of any game.

 

[Birdo]

So..... it won't be compatible with Switch Lite?

 

[flibbertyjibbert]

This is one of the coolest TGA trailers ever, I love everything about it. Serious Digimon/Summer Wars vibes from the whole thing.

Yes! it was fucking hilarious. OMG HYPE

 

[-MD-]

If I can't use a pro controller I'm out.

 

[DigitalScrap]

So..... it won't be compatible with Switch Lite?

I have a feeling that motion controls will end up being optional for those who want to use them.
