Glorious!! great interview and cant wait for the game!
I get the distinct impression you should not mess with this guy … I think it may be the ominous music lol
PS Love the love for Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing! 😀
I really liked what he said about Yu Suzuki and Shenmue's creation.
Powerful, powerful words from Takeuchi. This makes me feel justified in backing this with a fairly large pledge. "Yu Suzuki's personal life and his work life are a perpetual whole." What a message!
Wow, Animatrix, its been a while…
Now with all those great news, please make HD remakes of Shenmue 1 & 2 for PC and PS 4 in any form digital or physical. That would be really great and attract more money to the KS campaign. TELL YOU!
wow this was actually a great and emotional interview!!! Well done.
Suzuki wears a Submariner. Nice.
Holy crap! Animatrix and Voices of a Distant Star? This man is a legend in his own right!
needs to use facial motion capture
Hiroaki is amazing. Also his works are. Seeing him together with yu-chan is adorable :3 i love both of them.
