I'm pretty excited to see that the next Yakuza game was going to be about the zombie apocalypse. Underneath their gangster-coated surface, the Yakuza surface are about teasing out who your real friends are; seeing which of your relationships really matter. They are also about ruthlessly manhandling out of anything that stands between you and your goal. At their best, zombies games are about those same two things. That's just part of why I think zombies and street fighters are a match made in schlock Heaven.
The cosplay seen above didn't hurt either. I couldn't help but be charmed by these convincing undead actors and their cruel female executioners. Below you'll see a quick tease of a few of the mini-games that Josh referred to in yesterday's post. My battery ran out before I could get the whole trailer. If it's still playing tomorrow at the show, I'll grab the whole thing and update for you.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ?!!
Ok these ads have to stop. It's getting to the point of being ridiculous at this point. All I wanted to do was watch half of the commercial for the new Yakuza game we may or may not get localized, and I paused to try to rewind back to something, as soon as I hit play again, another commercial played.
I can't take this without commenting on it. Can Destructoid really be making that much money off of these commercials to cripple every video?
