The Arcade Pioneer: The Story of Yu Suzuki - Retro Gamer Mag

[Technophilz]

The latest interview with the legendary Yu Suzuki published in the latest issue of Retro Gamer Magazine.

There aren’t many designers that could claim to have done it all, but Yu
Suzuki just might be able to. We caught up with him to look back
over his career and find out what's on the horizon…

Bonus : Q&A: with Dojo’s George Melita and Anatomy of Ryo Hazuki from the latest issue of Play Magazine.

Media shouldn't have waited Shenmue III to remember of Yu's existence. Hopefully other forgotten creators can get the spotlight too.

Thank you for providing this. It was a great read!

So this confirms Chobou = Dobuita in scale, right?

Seems like Shenmue 3 will resemble the first game more than the second, all things considered.

The fact that he says "we have made a PayPal option available" like it's new makes me think this is possibly an older interview that they're just got around to publishing (maybe they didn't have the space last issue?).

He definitely stated he was aiming to make Chobou similar in scale to Kowloon a month ago when he gave his presentation in China. I think he possibly upgraded the scale in-between this interview and the presentation?

No way to really know of course until we play the game.
