NEWS: Like a Dragon: Ishin! Game's New Trailer Highlights Combat

Yeah, a lot of people aren't aware of the Kenzan/Ishin games because they never came out in the west. Glad that we will now have a localized way to play Ishin. Combat looks as fun as I recall watching from the original game.

Same here. I've been waiting nearly a decade to play Ishin! and now we're (hopefully) getting an improved version of it. I remember a time when even getting a mainline Yakuza game in the west was a pipe dream so this is great news.

We were never hard up for getting the main games it was the spin-offs we in the west had a hard time getting.

You clearly don't remember Playstation's #BuildingTheList campagne. They had to go out of their way to bring the games to the west if there was enough demand. We were lucky if the western releases were announced at the Playstation Experience.

Much like you don’t remember that uptil Yakuza 5 which took 3 years to be localized, Yakuza games were brought west within 1-2 years. Meaning we were getting them with little issue outside of waiting a substantial amount of time now compare that to Kenzan, Ishin and both Kurohyo games only one of which is getting released outside of Japan after the original wasn’t.

Again the issue with non Asian markets getting the main games was never a matter of if we’d get it but when. Whereas with the spin-offs bar Dead Souls & FoTNS Paradise was a matter of if we’d get it.

You make it sound like 1-2 years is a short amount of time.

And we would wait even more if it wasn't for Playstation's efforts at the time.
