Ryo Hazuki cameo in ESPN NFL Football

Postby Crimson Ryan » Fri Aug 04, 2017 3:02 pm

I was watching this youtube channel Slopes Game Room, they have features called The Complete History for different series of games, one of which being Shenmue.

They've mentioned in the video something I've heard for the first time ever: Ryo Hazuki has a cameo appearance in ESPN NFL Football on the original Xbox.

Did anyone know about this? Given such a cameo is incredibly obscure for an NFL game, and admittedly the narrator stated they have no found footage of this from the game, I'm still extremely curious/interested to see more.

Check the video out at this timestamp: https://youtu.be/cCdgmSlZ4DQ?t=14m51s

I've known about this for quite a while. Have the game and even tried to unlock Ryo to capture some footage.
But I hate playing Football games, it's just about the worst kind of thing there is. Read about some method that makes getting those interceptions semi automatic but it didn't work at all. That's where I gave up.

Don't know if I can ever bring myself to try this again. Getting the hang of how to do it best and then keep doing it for hours and hours. It's no wonder nobody has anything to show.

Encountering Ryo in an American football game must be like meeting Master Chief in Viva Piñata.

Never heard of that and I'm surprised that no one has unlocked it yet. This is a job for shengoro and the hacking peeps! Your mission: get us pictures of Ryo Hazuki in a football helmet.
