Archipel Interviews Toshihiro Nagoshi About The Origins Of The Yakuza Series

February 1, 2021 by Chris Johnston

It’s hard to imagine that the exceedingly popular Yakuza series was close to not happening at all—but as you’ll hear in this interview, director Toshihiro Nagoshi had to pitch the game THREE times, and he attributes Sega’s merger with Sammy as the main reason it ended up happening at all. That’s just one of the super-interesting anecdotes in Archipel’s interview with the prolific creator. Explore the rest of Archipel’s channel for some amazing interviews and documentaries about more of Japan’s best game creators.
