Travis himself has retired from the assassin's lifestyle, but leaps back into the spotlight when a gang of thugs hired by the current #1-ranked assassin murders his best friend Bishop. Three years after the events of No More Heroes, the city of Santa Destroy has become famous thanks to Travis Touchdown's bloody antics and expanded into a seedy urban hub where televised assassin fights are a popular and profitable form of entertainment. Ten years later, it got a port on the Nintendo Switch. It made several adjustments to the gameplay design most notably, the removal of the large city HUB. The sequel to the surprise Wii smash No More Heroes, Desperate Struggle was released three years later in 2010, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, with directorial responsibilities given to Nobutaka Ichiki.
