By passing a Joy-Con controller to a friend or family member, two people can perform jobs together!

This all-American otaku won’t stop until he’s the number one assassin, baby!
  • No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle – Continue the fight in this HD remaster of the sequel to the original assassin action game! Three years after Travis Touchdown was ranked number one by the United Assassins Association, he finds himself falling down the ranks to #51.

Fueled by his own desires and a thirst for vengeance, the ultimate otaku assassin unsheathes his beam katana once again and plunges headfirst into another series of battles!

That means October brings a host of spooky surprises to the game! From pumpkins and candy to costumes and Halloween DIY projects, Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers so many ways to enjoy seasonal festivities. Plus, on Halloween night after 5 p.m., your island residents will gather in the plaza, which will be adorned with Halloween decorations, where you’ll receive a visit from a mysterious guest, Jack, the “czar of Halloween.” Halloween is a great time of year to jump in and experience this game’s unique approach to commemorating the seasons. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available in Nintendo eShop.
