Yakuza Creator Toshihiro Nagoshi is apparently not a huge fan of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch. In a recent interview posted on the Sega Europe YouTube page, SEGA Japan's Chief Creative Officer was asked about de💟veloping a game for the gaming console.
“I think even now the N🍌intendo platform is still a game console that is played by a wide range of age groups, but basically, I think it’s hardware for kids and teens. Amid all that, at that time, Nintendo was also putting a lot of effort into the kids market, and I thought it would suit,” he said.
It seems Yakuza fans shouldn't expect a port of the game on the Nintendo Switch anytime soon. Nagoshi’s comments echo those of series producer Daisuke Sato who previously called the HD ports of Yakuza and Yakuza 2 on the WiiU “a disaster” and said the series would make no sense on the Switch. Although Nagoshi hasn’t discarded the idea altogether, it doesn’t seem li🍎ke a priority, especially since Yakuza is intended for adults.
In Yakuza, the game follows the story of Kazuma Kiryu, a former yakuza who is released from prison after serving time f🔥or the murder of his clan's patriarch. Kiryu returns to the Japanese underworld to recover $100 million stolen from his former clan. In the sequel, the yakuza returns to his clan after a gang war breaks out. Both games were a critical and commercial success.
While Nintendo Switch does appeal to younger age groups, it also has its share of adult fans. The success of adult-oriented games like Witcher 3, Doom and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wolfenstein II on the system is proof that not all developers necessarily agree with Nagoshi’s assessment. His f𝓰eelings about the pl🍸atform may not be one-sided though. In a 2018 with EDGE magazine, the SEGA exec claimed that Nintendo had passed on the chance to publish the original Yakuza game.
