The Yakuza series would be an excellent addition to the ever-growing Nintendo Switch library and it turns out the series was initially pitched to Nintendo. Speaking to EDGE, Toshihiro Nagoshi, said that he had done presentations of the game to both Nintendo and Microsoft but was told back then that they didn’t want it. Now he says that ultimately both companies would like the series on their platforms.
“I’ve never said this before, but while we released this game with Sony, I’d done presentations about it to Microsoft and Nintendo. Back then they said “No we don’t want it.” Now they say, “We want it!” (laughs) They didn’t understand the reason why I created it.”
Even if the game is coming to the Switch I will get it. I simply not interested on it not because it’s a bad game
I agree. I never played it because it’s on Sony but I can tell it’s a really bad game.
I can’t say the series is bad or the game is bad just because is on the Sonyan machines. I have to watch it or read sone reviews to say if it is good or bad
Yeah? How can you tell “it’s a really bad game,” as you so eloquently put it? I doubt you can tell, mostly because you sound like a rather closed minded moron who judges something before ever learning about it.
So many toxic replys. I was just stating my opinion.
Well most of your comments have been sounding pretty biased in favor of Nintendo & against everyone else. But whatever. It IS your opinion so you do you. Good luck.
It’s so weird. I just recently started playing Yakuza Kiwami on PS4. But MAN, I HATE the fact that the characters all speak in Japanese (with English subtitles). I get super dizzy and motion sick after a while having to read so darn much (that and the twisty camera). I’ll be lucky if I can get to the end of this game. The play control in Sleeping Dogs was SO much better. Not to mention, it was in English. I also hate how you’re so restricted to where you can and can’t go in Yakuza Kiwami. At least in the early points of the game.
The problem is Sleeping Dogs was supposed to be True Crime: Tokyo. It wasn’t a Japanese Studio that made that game.
How is that a problem? Specially when SD is superior to the Yakuza games.
I love it when characters speak their native tongue! Then again, I’m used to reading subtitles.
they tried the Eng dub and it failed so they went back with Jap dubs with Eng subs which i don’t get why people think its a bad thing also there are people who watch anime exclusively with Eng subs claiming Ebg dubs are bad, i dont recall Chris Sabat or Vic Mignogna or Sean Schemmel being bad VA’s
So just because someone at Microsoft and Nintendo said they weren’t interested in it 13 years ago he’s surprised that a different set of people making those decisions would now like it on their platforms? This guy sounds like a bit of an idiot to me.
Key people in a big company like this won’t change that much in 13 years you know.
I disagree
Well, since then, the President of Nintendo has passed, and the acting president that took the place of Iwata has stepped down and we now have a 3rd face. And with MS Mattrick has moved on and and the company basically reconstructed while under Spencer… So yes.
If not for his disease, Iwata still might’ve been the president and this would’ve been his 16th year.
Fanboy Edwards in recovery mode, failed. 😂
I’m giving my opinion on the story. Maybe you should too instead of “callingoutstupid”
If you think Nintendo is changing because the key people in charge have changed, you truly don’t know Nintendo that well. They aren’t changing because the people have changed, they are “changing” because money. Some people will sacrifice their values & what they believe in just to fill their coffers.
Oh right. I forgot. Not just money but survival, too. Those are the two things some people will ignore their “values” for.
Hit it right in the head.
ZING!
Hey mynintendo mod, GameXplain just discovered on there video that a new hidden menu in #SuperSmashBrosUltimate called spirits. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tQSzxEvIfmA
Yeah that theory has been floating around since the day of the direct. Apparently that’s the reason why all of the new character announcements have also included a character “dying” and losing it’s soul/spirit.
Mm good point by the way.
That’s kinda funny and sounds just like both of those companies. Too bad Yakuza maybe just maybe could have gone the Bayonetta route at least with this remaster
Stupid Nintendo & Microsoft. Wait. Who did they pitch it to first: Ninty or Micro?
its pretty niche until recently i would expect microsoft to be less interested than nintendo though
Another series I wanna get into. Maybe I’ll check out Kiwami eventually.
I guess you could say they refused to Nagoshi-ate.
I’m not sorry.
What’s the reason he created it? Now WE’LL never know with this cliffhanger.
Yakuza is a crazy good and underrated series, dont sleep on it because its not on nintendo you fools
Fuck Nintendo and Microsoft.
