Episode notes

The game originally came out on like I actually don't have the year in front of me but it came out previously only in Japan. A lot of references that they're making to various characters or events are instantly familiar to a lot of people in Japan where as obviously for us maybe not so much. So I think this game works perfectly fine if you don't know anything about Yakuza or Japanese history. Yeah because every character or at least all the main characters so far as I can tell are kind of the like players of you know the cast of previous Yakuza 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.
