Not sure if admins should be bullying @bob like this -
Teaser trailer for the Like a Dragon: Yakuza series: More interested than I thought I would be, feel like they've nailed the look at least. That classic swoop down into Kamurocho -

While I do agree with the premise somewhat that Nintendo is overrepresented by gaming historians; moreso than anything else, gaming historians are overly anglocentric. As far as the English speaking internet is concerned, there is America and Thar Be Dragons everywhere else. Take The Great Video Game Crash for example. It’s basically taken as universal worldwide gospel at this point, but it was actually an isolated US-only phenomenon, that didn’t even affect the arcade industry in the US at the time; but if you are to take the internet spiel as fact, you’d think that the entire video game industry just ground to a halt the moment that Atari’s ET and Pac-Man came out. Never mind the booming arcade industry’s golden and silver age, or the booming British and mainland European microcomputer revolution. Likewise, you’d think that Nintendo was the only game in town after the end of the Atari 2600, and the Master System was a tremendous failure, but SEGA actually wiped the floor with the NES here in the UK and throughout most of Europe in the late 80s/early 90s. You almost never hear that acknowledged by the internet history consensus, outside of a basic footnote. And countries outside of the US, Japan or (to a much lesser extent) Europe? They may as well not exist at all. And even Japanese video game history is often glossed over… if you were to only go by western accounts of gaming history, you might not even know that Virtua Fighter exists; despite it being one of the most important and influential games in all of gaming history (indeed, without VF, there would’ve been no PlayStation; never mind it being the first ever example of 3D motion captured human animation in a video game). An absolute travesty of historical documentation. That’s the biggest crime as far as video game historical documentation goes. -
OK, this is neat. The Switch version lets you have a two screen display when playing undocked, much like one of those cocktail tables with an arcade machine built in. 1:40 if the timestamp doesn't work It's completely pointless, but very cool, regardless.
