Best Settings for No More Heroes 3

Set Horizontal and Vertical Settings to Normal

Camera settings allow you to change the sensitivity of your camera controls and their horizontal and vertical configurations. It is best to set all your horizontal and vertical settings to Normal to prevent confusion with controls. We also recommend leaving camera sensitivity to the default setting unless you are having trouble controlling your camera.
