I was going to boycott Yakuza 3 Kiwami and play it several years down the road for Dark Ties. But, I can't even stomach this. Not just as a woman who experienced sexual assault herself, but as a decent human being. I don't know why anyone would think this is OK. If this game goes out without any real backlash, I'm going to quit playing Ryu Ga Gotoku games altogether. I'm sure everyone here knows how big a fan of the series I am, but this is just beyond creepy and misogynistic - it makes me sick, metaphorically and literally. I'm sitting here with a pit in my stomach just typing this.
Delisting Yakuza 0,1, 2, 3, and possibly the rest is very typical of SEGA now. They've done the same with the SEGA Genisis games on Steam. Because of that I only have Streets of Rage 1,2, and 3.
Back to Yakuza, casting Yongyea as Kiryu and charging a more expensive version of pretty much the same game, goes for Kiwami 1 and 2. Weird they can't English Dub Kiwami 1 and 2 yet were able to do it with 0 and Like a Dragon Series.
As for Teruyuki Kagawa being able to resume his career without any type of punishment is very dumb (even if he was punished, I doubt he would be arrested for long term). But then again, it's Japan and as much as I like Japanese culture, I won't doubt how much women are mistreated there.

I'm kind of wondering - what if Telltale 2.0 could also bring on Skunkape to also develop remasters for Tales of Monkey Island and Wallace and Gromit: Grand Adventures for modern platforms (that would have Telltale 2.0 as the publisher), with the same polish as the remasters of Sam and Max/Poker Night 1?
Maybe the old versions of those titles from the late 2000's could be phased out, and existing owners on Steam could pay a $5 or $10 upgrade (rather than full price) to get the new version.
For a relatively smaller amount of work than making new content from scratch (Ala Expanse and Wolf 2), they could have a few more "modern" style titles on more consoles.
On the Steam page - evidently the Poker Night remaster has new table unlocks, slight game rebalancing, and other QOL fixes. That's pretty neat stuff for a remaster of such a niche game. I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what all they added.

Skunkape Games remastering Poker Night 1 was not on my 2026 Bingo Card, I'll say that much!
Holy shit, they're sprucing up a lot of old Telltale titles, cool!!

Wow that looks really good! They absolutely nailed that 2D look for Strongbad.

That's awesome. I love how they are bringing back the visor too. I missed the visor and Max hat back in the day

Today Telltale will surely announce that Adhoc is taking care of TWAU 2 from now on.
