With Toriyama also having recently passed, it might just be the best opportunity to get Sakaguchi and Horii together and make something special

Volume 4 was the DVD covering the interviews in Japan. You'll also note this volume 5 has dropped the "Japanese" from the title. Thus it's a compilation of his entire career, excluding some articles he wrote but that don't belong to him (some things belong to magazines he worked for) -...

Can't say I'm looking forward to any new games in particular. Perhaps Espiocracy and Alliance of the Sacred Suns. I'm ready to be surprised by yet unannounced things. Regarding remakes or re-releases there are a few coming soon: Lunar, Dragon Quest I&II and Project Justice, Power Stone and...

This interview is in John Szczepaniak's book The Untold History of Game Developer's Volume 5, which was published in 2023 and is avaiable on Amazon.

I love Old World. Great team working on it too. They're still developing and coming out with new stuff . The game strikes a great balance between strategy and roleplay.

That looks very well although it's not clear if it's running on actual hardware or an emulator on a PC. AFAIR by the time GTAIII came out the Dreamcast had already been mothballed by SEGA. I don't know if anyone remembers it vividly these days but GTAIII still had a pretty difficul to use...

Regarding Canarias I also find surprising that you place your location as "Spain/Africa". Every "Madeiran" I have ever met vehemently refused admitting that Madeira was an African island. Even though there have been occasional political entreprises regarding independence. Ahh... we do indeed...

Yes, yes... closer to Madeira rather than Azores, I think. I actually have met someone from Canarias who was studying at the same university as I was (over 15 years ago) but I don't recall that sort of trivia regarding loanwords so it was news to me. When there were the incredible fires in 2023...

Over here (Portugal) we have a variant of "dulce de leche/crème brûlée" as well as what americans call "french toast" and bread pudding, all of which reminds me of your leche asada, with due differences. Seems like something good for breakfast.

Thanks for the thorough introduction. I'd say, don't worry too much about carrying over your save state to Shenmue 2. It doesn't affect that much. Just a little bit at the beginning of the game. Both games warrant several playthroughs to see everything there is to see so I'm sure when you next...

I would add that not only does he not pander to fans or commercial expectations but that same attitude has made him a leader and a rolemodel figure for other japanese developers, both younger, his age and older. And another thing: you see most of the developers from his generation have gone on...

Well you know what is indeed like Metal Slug? In the Hunt and GunForce II/GeoStorm, which were the team's previous efforts. In the Hunt I have on the Saturn, but no Saturn to play it, unfortunately. If you're up for Metal Slug you should enjoy these as well. While GunForce II is really very...

I used to ocasionally watch this show the original poster linked (I'm based in Portugal). At that time I didn't watch it much as the most recent console I had in the year 2000 was the Mega Drive. It wasn't as apparent then but this was indeed just a collection of trailers, with no interviews...

^There is nothing quite like Metal Slug although, for me, the violence is a little too much, even if presented in comical fashion. I played the demo of the recent Metal Slug Tactics and was quite pleased with it, it seemed a tremendous adaptation into a completely different genre. I have been...
