No More Heroes III developer Grasshopper Manufacture has just dropped version 1.0.2 of the game on Nintendo Switch, and it should be a welcome one for players. Fans shouldn’t expect to see anything too substantial from the update, but it does offer a number of bug fixes and improvements that will make the game run smoother. Updates such as this one aren’t nearly as exciting as those that feature wholly new content, but anything that makes a game more enjoyable should be welcomed with open arms.
