Xbox One ‘could potentially be an option’
Nintendo Switch andYakuzaseem like two great tastes that’d taste great together, but the match will remain little more than a pipe dream for the foreseeable future. In an interview withGameblog.fr,Yakuzaseries producer Daisuke Sato opened up about the possibility of Kiryu and co. on Switch.
“To be realistic about what happened,Yakuza 1&2 HDfor Wii U was a huge failure,” said Sato, as translated byGematsu. “But we are always looking to develop for multiple platforms as much as possible and know that brings in a greater audience to attract more people.”
“As far as Switch is concerned, I’m convinced that it isn’t the ideal platform on which to developYakuzagames. Maybe people don’t expect this kind of game on Switch. Maybe they’re used to different games. It may not be the ideal platform. As for Xbox One, we can consider it, knowing that Xbox One users may be more likely to be interested in a game likeYakuza. This could potentially be an option.”
If you have qualms with that read on how theYakuzagames may or may not be embraced on Nintendo Switch, I hear you. I feel like the series has only recentlyfound its footingin the West. And the Wii U — well,the Switch is no Wii U. Let’s just put it that way. WithYakuza 0coming to PC this August, maybe we’ll see more movement down the line. I’d really like to see that game on every platform.
In lighter news, Sato says that he’d “love to make a sequel” to the 2012 cult classicBinary Domain. “It is purely a question of practicality and administration,” he noted. “It’s up to Sega to decide whether or not they want to do it.“I am extremely here forBig Boand the rest of the Rust Crew.
