Kazuma Kiryu is a man who has always solved problems with his fists. Sometimes a sword, sometimes a baseball bat, but usually, he lets his 🍷fists do the talking. Which made him the perfect fit for a🐼 fighting game crossover.
Last July, Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada tweeted out a series of images 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that pointed at Yakuza in particular. This led everyone to believe that Kiryu would finally make his way into Tekken 7 as the crossover that꧋ fans have been clamoring for.
Sadly, nothing ever came of that tweet,♉ and now we have a pretty good idea as to w💧hy.
In an interview with , Yakuza creator Toshihiro Nagoshi laid it out pretty plainly. When asked by Kiryu still hasn't done a fighting game cꦰrossover, he said it was because he couldn't bear the thought of Kiryu strikin♕g a woman.
“We do get this request a lot. Of cour💞se there are exceptions," Nagoshi-san said, "but fighting games generally have female characters, and persona♌lly I don’t really want to see Kiryu beating up women.”
It makes sense, considering how Kiryu is a fairly chivalrous character in Yakuza titles. But then again, it's 2020, and women can deliver 💖just as much of a beating in fighti🦋ng games as men can.
The wide-ranging interview also had a few bombshells to drop, starting with Nagoshi being involved in Yakuza's live-aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚction adaptation with a big-time Hollywood studio. "I am indeed interested in movie industry work♒, and I’m very happy to say that I have been involved in the recently announced Hollywood live-action film from the start. Personally, regardless of the overall film direction, I hope to make it into an emotional human d𓄧rama."
On 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yakuza: Like A Dragon's new RPG-style combat system, Nagoshi revealed that they'd mostly focused on beat-'em-up action because "everything hadn’t come together yet idea-wise" to go beyond it. That changed with Yakuza 7, and he's pleased with the results (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as are pretty much all the reviewers who've played the game 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:including our very own Bella Blondeau).
Yakuza: Like A Dragon arrives on Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PC tomorrow. Except in Japan, where it’s already out on PS4 and it w๊on’t releas♍e on Xbox Series X/S for unknown reasons.
