Episode notes

I found myself switching styles way more than I have in past Yakuza games and you know this game seems a lot more interested even though again it's not a combat game. It kind of depended on the situation right like what you were trying to counter. One of the styles that you learned pretty much right away is having a pistol like a magnum in one hand or a revolver in one hand and uh a samurai sword in the other. You can start upgrading your kind of like skills way way way way faster than you could in Yakuza 0 or other games.

The Yakuza series has a new name. "Like a Dragon" is a literal translation of the original Japanese title Ryu Ga Gotoku. Returning to where things started fits the latest release: a remaster of Like a Dragon: Ishin, an action-heavy spin-off set in the Late Edo. The historical setting and standalone story make Ishin a compelling starting point for a series we love. For the back half of the episode, Frush and Plante share their recommendations for listeners preparing to dive into the Game Boy and GBA games now available on Nintendo Switch Online.
