No More Heroes 3 Update Live, Patch Notes Released

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. Full patch notes from No More Heroes III's official Twitter account can be found below:

No More Heroes III released at the tail end of August. The game puts players back in the role of protagonist Travis Touchdown, in what might be the character's final adventure. The series has long been known for its quirky nature, and has found a faithful audience over the years. The game received a 4/5 score in ComicBook.com's review for the game, which Jamie Lovett called "a layered experience that's enjoyable on the most kinetic and visceral level."
