Travis Touchdown’s 8-bit Side Jobs

Travis Touchdown, the protagonist in No More Heroes, likes perverted anime, wrestling, and video games. He bought a real working light saber-like sword so he could go out and kill all the assassins around so he could be number one. Why? To earn more money to buy video games, of course. Not exactly a role model. Because of all the classic 8-bit game allusions in No More Heroes, it kind of caught my interest and I bought it when it went down in price. The violence didn’t bother me at first, as victims just looked liked piñatas with red streamers coming out of them (the game has a stylized feel and look to it). But the ultra-violent finishing moves you perform on the boss assassins bothered me a bit (I know, I’m a big baby), so I stopped playing. However, I still bought the sequel when it went on sale because I wanted to play the 8-bit NES styled side jobs to help Travis earn money. So here’s a blog about Travis Touchdown’s 8-bit side jobs in No More Heroes 2!
