This game is essential for understanding the plot in NMH3.

I skipped that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ spin-off and started NMH3. Many plot moments were incomprehensible for me. I advise you to play it before starting NMH3

Beat No More Heroes 3 without finishing TSA but I wasn't super lost. Too be fair I did play though a large portion of it back when it launched on Switch. I just never got around to finishing it.

I just started playing 3, and I played 1 / 2. I got utterly lost in the beginning, so Travis Strikes Back is a required game to play.

What do you miss besides a character who lasted 2 whole seconds and a sushi guy existing?

It also introduces Kamui, Badman, Doppelganger, Damon, and Juve, and establishes that Jeane can talk.
