Retronauts Episode 280: Yakuza (Patreon)

Thanks to the generous patronage of patron Bobby Najari, on this latest Patreon-exclusive episode we're digging deep into a series that gave a 21st-century Sega something to do outside of Sonic the Hedgehog: Yakuza. Though the series had a clumsy start in America with an incredibly late PS2 release and a clumsy (but expensive) dub, in recent years Yakuza has really caught fire in the West, with a new re-release of parts 3, 4, and 5 happening just days before this episode went live! So join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, USgamer's Mike Williams, and Henry Gilbert as the crew does their best to explore the Japanese gangster RPG franchise that's somehow spanned 21 games in 15 years. (Hope you have 1000 free hours!)
