With Sony abandoning its chase of easy PC dollars, the megalithic Japanese company instead seems intent on maximizing its dollars at home, and reasonably so. While reporting indicates PlayStation's PC sales were stymied by staggered and unpredictable releases, that was already obvious. What's less clear is how Sony's pursuit of profit might affect the status quo, with a lawsuit in the UK over PSN monopolization and blatant A/B testing for dynamic digital pricing happening right before our eyes. What does the future hold as we begin to move towards next-gen? Plus: EA lays off members of the Battlefield team that created America's best-selling game in 2025, Nagoshi Studio and its Yakuza-like title Gang of Dragon are in big trouble, a LEGO PlayStation (1) console is seemingly en route for the holiday season, adventure classics Myst and Riven are PS5-bound, Crimson Desert finally emerges on PS5 Pro, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With id finding so much success with the revived Doom trilogy, could Quake be next? What was the deal with that cryptic Bluepoint Tweet from 2019, anyway? Are physical-only players being hurt by the underproduction of copies of big games? Is Dustin intentionally making mistakes in his edits to sabotage our entire operation?

La Yakuza se encuentra en un momento de transformación en Japón. En este episodio hablamos de lo que algunos consideran su ocaso con un documental que sigue a un hombre que decide dejar la organización.
Show Notes 0:00: Justin and Helen finally are able to talk about things they’ve been up to!…Well, Justin’s been up to finally watching the new season of Medalist now that it’s on Hulu and experienced paying to go to a theater for the first time since COVID-19 (all for Uma Musume: Beginning of a New Era). Helen on the other hand has finally watched Journal with Witch (2 episodes so far) like the rest of the cool people! The hosts then get ready to talk about the news over the past few weeks. And it begins with one of the worst anime/manga news that’s ever been covered on this podcast. News 6:13: Shogakukan’s Manga ONE editorial department issued a statement and an apology this past Friday regarding manga creator Shōichi Yamamoto, after the editorial department had allowed Yamamoto to publish a new manga on the service under a pen name after he had been arrested and convicted of a sex crime. The details are not only many but it also can be triggering. It’s fairly staggering, so you’ll want to check out Anime News Network and Strict Algorithm for all the details, but a quick summary: Shoichi Yamamoto returned as a writer for Joujin Kamen, with Eri Tsuruyoshi drawing the series in 2022, despite his arrest and conviction of a sex crime in 2020 and making sure the artist was not aware of Yamamoto’s past since he is now known as Hajime Ichiro. An editor for MangaOne was involved in this situation, even going so far as to try and strike a deal with the victim. Once details emerged this past Friday of how awful the crime was and that the publication covered it up, many manga artists — from those working for Shogakukan to those not working for them — were angry and for those working for Shogakukan demanded not only a proper response but to have their works removed from MangaOne. Then Saturday, Shogakukan announced they will set up an investigative committee that will include lawyers to clarify the facts of the situation. Both hosts discuss this horrifying scandal as they know it and what this ultimately says about Shogakukan (21:10) — and as Justin expected (26:48), more news would eventually emerge over time after the episode was recorded on Sunday, and yesterday, while continuing their internal investigation of MangaOne, Shogakukan revealed that Tatsuya Matsuki, the writer for act-age who was convinced of a sex crime in 2020 and dismissed from Shonen Jump with the cancellation of that manga, was hiding under the pen name of Miki Yatsunami while working on a manga on the service (Seisō no Shinri-shi). We at TheOASG send our apologies to the victim, Eri Tsuruyoshi, and those affected by this situation. 26:57: Media Do, considered the largest e-book distributor in Japan (and sold off their shares of MyAnimeList last year) has acquired Seven Seas Entertainment for US $80 million dollars. More details emerged since the two hosts talked about it on Sunday, and it was concerning to where Seven Seas had to put out a statement yesterday. Expect both hosts to again discuss more about this partnership in the next episode. 33:29: The two hosts discuss the “Ring Ring Live in Osaka” concert event put on by the Himitsu no AiPri staff was cancelled due to threats; Helen goes over Sho-Pro Books (Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions) announcing that its contract to publish Marvel Comics titles in Japanese will end on March 31; and Manga Mavericks Books now has a distribution deal with Pathway Book Service and with Gazelle Book Services Ltd for Europe so we’ll be able to see their print books on certain retailers soon. 39:27: The Gift-o’-Animation studio’s founder and former president Satoshi Mori passed way February 20 after battling an illness for some time; Talent agency Haikyō announced in February that voice actor Masaru Ikeda died on January 31; And Kodansha shared on their Instagram that Vertical publishing company’s co-founder and Kodansha USA Editorial Director Ioannis Mentzas passed away a few weeks ago. Licenses 41:55: Last episode the hosts talked about a bunch of companies licensing manga. This episode the two about more things getting licensed by companies, first with VIZ: Hyuganatsu, Minoji Kurata, & Touko Shino's The Apothecary Diaries: Maomao's Notes on the Inner Palace Kotoyama's Call of the Night: Paradise Arc Inio Asano's Heroes Shuzo Oshimi's Sound of a Blink Paru Itagaki's Witching Hour Glitch Productions and Gooseworx & Sakura's The Amazing Digital Circus Akihisa Maki & Miki Yatsubo's Albus Changes the World Asato Shima's The Seaside Where Dragon Boys Dwell Yori Katakura's Yakuza vs. Cat Esu Omori's Shiba Inu Rooms Agatha Christie & Aya Nikaidō's And Then There Were None Renka Misaki & Yūto Suzuki's Sakamoto Days: Assassin’s Blues LN 3-in-1 edition of Mizuho Kusanagi's Yona of the Dawn Soshichi Tonari's Horror Picture Book: Looking at Me, with illustrations by Junji Ito My Hero Academia Box Set 2 Jujutsu Kaisen Complete Box Set (Will also include Volume 0) Black Torch Complete Box Set One Piece Box Set 5: Wano to Egghead My Hero Academia: Ultra Artworks art book Dorohedoro Illustrations: Mud and Sludge art book The Studio Ghibli Chronicles book 46:10: Square Enix announced they’ve licensed the following works: Natsu Hyūga, Itsuki Nanao, & Touco Shino's The Apothecary Diaries: Xiaolan's Story Gyūnyūmugigohan's Boyish Girlfriend Mugimo's My Ex-Boyfriend Loves Boys’ Love! Yuo Yodogawa's Stalker Stalks Stalker sooncha's Yang Can’t Live Alone Shinichi Fukuda & Choboraunyopomi's My Dress-Up Darling XOXO! My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 Official Anime Fanbook Asaki Asagiri & selen's The Princess Groom 47:52: SuBLime had a couple announcements during their Valentine's Day event — Puling's Sunshine in Hades, Fumi Tsuyuhisa's Robin in the Veil of Night, & Natsuki Kizu's Given 10th Mix; meanwhile Seven Seas announced this during their Citrus Con panel that happened on Sunday that they’ve licensed IROHA MEGU's WOLFHOUND and two Hayate Kuku manga (STRANGER: A WESTERN BL & MARCHEN) 48:30: Michi Masaki's Tell Me, Dear Butler, Robico’s To Dusk and Twilight, & Jun Wakatsuki's Promise Me the Spotlight is now on K MANGA; Takumigraphics, the new spinoff imprint from Fantagraphics, has licensed Gengoroh Tagame's Do You Remember the South Island’s POW Camp? which shocked Helen; Tei Monaka & Komari Kuro's All-Rounder Maid Connie Ville has been licensed by new publisher Crossed Heart; and Eke Shimamizu's The Maid I Admire Looks Good with a Cigarette is now on Manga UP!. 49:30: Manga Mirai has a couple new additions to their service; The Lady version of Cells at Work! will be put in print by Kodansha; and the two hosts discuss Glacier Bay Books taking up what Matt Haasch wanted to do with Star Fruit Books as they announced they’ll be handling the publishing line moving forward. 54:56: MediaOCD and AnimEigo announced they’ve licensed Master of Martial Hearts & Sketchbook ~full color’S~, both expected to release this year. MediaOCD also announced the new round of titles it is adding to its store as part of the Discotek Deep Dives initiative (a good amount); meanwhile Discotek has a couple re-releases upcoming this year and a Patlabor OVA coming at some point; And finally, Sentai Filmworks has licensed Heavy Metal L-Gaim, which continues Sentai just out of nowhere licensing an older work. Streaming News 1:00:02: The Madoka Magica movie has a new release date, and you can hear the two hosts editorial thought process in this moment as they decide no matter what happens — if it screens in Japan or if it doesn’t — it will wind up in weird news somehow; Akane-Banashi will have people be able to see it, but at this moment, not on your typical anime services…which will be shocking for a Shonen Jump property. 1:02:59: We have some screenings going on in the US — Anime Central will screen the original anime Goodbye, Lara in May; Next week people will be able to watch a 4K restoration of Kiki’s Delivery Service; and Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1 will also see another screening, which leads Justin to wonder when he’ll watch it since Crunchyroll doesn’t want to stream it yet! 1:04:51: The Me and Robico film has been added to Crunchyroll; Hulu and Disney+ will stream the Rooster Fighter anime in a few weeks (will first debut on Toonami); and Hulu now has the HD versions of the Pretty Cure English dub on their service. 1:05:58: The Criterion Collection’s streaming service Criterion Channel announced will add Gunbuster: The Movie and the first season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex sometime in March; Hideaki Sorachi’s debut one-shot manga Dandelion is getting an anime series adaptation that will stream exclusively on Netflix starting in April; and that 18+ site Oceanveil (who also sometimes streams non-18+ anime) will stream in advance the English-subtitled first episode of Do You Like Big Girls? and Marika’s Love Meter Malfunction. Weird News 1:08:23: Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary is this year, and there’s lots of things going on with the franchise…starting with the original voice of Ash Ketchum (Satoshi in Japan) doing a Let’s Play in celebration and, well, the franchise sharing their 30th Anniversary logos. All 1,025 of them! 1:10:07: Let’s just say the highs and lows of Japan are covered in this section, from a very shirtless buff man as a hanger to an AI buddharoid. 1:12:34: Two of Japan’s famous properties — Crayon Shin-chan and Sazae-san — are gonna cross over; We got a story involving recent gold medalist and Olympic star Alysa Liu and how she has a Pochita! 1:15:41: And finally, apparently Amazon really wants to be a big player in the anime destination game, which we would take seriously except there’s no real sign that they’re actually serious about it at the moment!

In this episode, inspired by the acclaimed TV series Tokyo Vice, our Forensic Psychology podcast examines the complex psyche of Tadamasa Goto, the ruthless founder of the Goto-gumi and a once-dominant figure in Japan's largest crime syndicate, the Yamaguchi-gumi, who died at age 83 on February 8. We explore the psychological profile of a criminal mastermind who rose from poverty to lead over 1,000 members while operating approximately 150 front companies, seamlessly blending extreme violence with sophisticated white-collar enterprises. Central to his story is the 2001 scandal involving an FBI-facilitated liver transplant at UCLA—exposed by investigative journalist Jake Adelstein—that allowed him to bypass a critical waiting list.
On this week's Random Encounter, we're talking about two "old" games (though one is significantly older than the other)!First up, Audra is here to share her thoughts on Ys X: Proud Nordics. But wait, didn't Ys X: Nordics just release in 2024? Yes, it did! But now, an even more complete version is here! Is it worth the upgrade if you bought the original? And if you are a Ys fan who hasn't played it yet, which one should you get?Next, Patrick is here to chat about a brand-new Game Boy Color game, Infinity! But wait, didn't Nintendo stop releasing Game Boy Color games in 2003? Yes, they did! However, back in 2001, this highly anticipated tactical JRPG was cancelled by its developer because of disinterest in the old console. Thankfully, an unfinished version of the game was found in 2016, making the ROM available to everyone. And now, Incube8 Games has finally finished developing the title and has released it in the form of an actual GBC cartridge! Is Infinity a brand-new classic of yesteryear, or should it have been left in the past?Finally, Jono shares his thoughts about the Yakuza 3 remake, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, and those thoughts are... not good.Featuring: Jono Logan, Audra Bowling, and Patrick Gann; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Ys X: Proud NordicsYs X: Nordics ReviewInfinityYakuza 3 ReviewYakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Review

Orphaned and kicked out of work, Kazuo Taoka was an unlikely candidate to become one of postwar Japan's most important characters. But by combining violence with a talent for legitimate business and corruption, the immaculately-suited gangster would lead the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza syndicate from a ragtag Kobe dockworkers' gang to one of the world's richest underworld forces, spreading from Japan into Southeast Asia and even the United States. That won Taoka plenty of enemies, which he almost always vanquished. But when a young rival yakuza saw Taoka celebrating at a Kyoto nightclub, the ensuing chaos would plunge Japan's criminal scene into chaos — and the country's one true Godfather would never be the same again.

A lot of rescheduling leaves not a lot to talk about this week in physical media but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski still power through.

RSS/iTunes/Spotify Check out the Serpent’s Path archive right here. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is coming off a rough patch after controversies around SWEET HOME in 1989 and the financial failure of THE GUARD FROM UNDERGROUND in 1992, but after retreating into television work he’s about to be given a new lifeline in the 90s: V-CINEMA! This straight-to-VHS trend focusing on genre fare ended up being a training ground for a number of favorite directors and Kurosawa dives right in, first with the extremely silly (but quite fun) crime-comedy YAKUZA TAXI, and continuing with the cycling drama (adapted from a Yasuhito Yamamoto manga) MEN OF RAGE. On this episode of SERPENT’S PATH we look at everything Kurosawa was up to, how he ended up on these two films, and detail some of our own frustrations watching them. ENJOY!The post Episode 310 – Serpent's Path: The Films of Kiyoshi Kurosawa – Men of Rage (1994) & Yakuza Taxi (1994) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.
This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma and Trev dive into the latest news on Super Mario Bros. Wonder. A lot more info was revealed last week, but we still have questions!

Plus we feature Kirk's Corner (even though Kirk is having a break this week) to show off an upcoming arcade game that looks fun, as well as the games we're playing: Revolgear Zero and Cassette Boy
Puede que el título del podcast desconcierte un poco. No, no hablamos de recopilatorios, homenajes ni cosas por el estilo. Estamos hablando de videojuegos que esconden en su interior pequeñas recreativas con clásicos de ayer y hoy. Son muchos ejemplos los que llenan los minutos del programa, y aunque de primeras parece que Yakuza es el único que lo hace, hay un sinfín de juegos que repiten la misma fórmula. ¿Nos dices tus favoritos?

The Game Awards have come and gone, leaving in its wake a whirlwind of game announcements, release date reveals, and fresh perspectives on our industry. Indeed, there's something for everyone, a draw for all comers. For starters, what's new? Two Star Wars offerings, Larian's secret Divinity project, Jonathan Blow's long-awaited Order of the Sinking Star, a sequel to Remedy's Control, Toshihiro Nagoshi's anticipated Yakuza rival Gang of Dragon, two Tomb Raider games in the form of a remake and something unseen, a Cyberpunk-like called NO LAW, and even Mega Man 12 -- well, Mega Man Dual Override, anyway -- to keep Colin fed, and more beyond that. And new looks, too, at PlayStation games like Saros and 4:LOOP, as well as Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Exodus, and Phantom Blade 0. And then there are the awards themselves, and the pomp and circumstance, and... well... there's a lot to discuss! Plus, we have all of the non-TGA happenings from the past week, too. PlayStation Wrap-Up is live, Deviation's cancelled second party shooter has leaked, London Studio's cancelled multiplayer game has seemingly reemerged under a new team, Call of Duty might be in trouble, and so on. Then: Listener inquiries! Could MLB: The Show succeed on PC with a Football Manager-style experience? Does Netflix really see no value in WB's gaming assets? Is a rumored $1 million for three minutes of advertising at The Game Awards too much? Remember when Dustin called DW from Arthur Double D?
