Is there drama or something regarding Yakuza games and Nintendo?

Yakuza is much too serious of a violent crime drama to be on this children’s toy. I agree wholeheartedly!I think it's reference to this

Yakuza is literally the only series that ever makes me remotely consider buying a PS or Xbox as a side console. This would be amazing if its true.

RGG studio always treated nintendo hardware with disdain. This collection is going to be just a cheap cash grab.
They need to SHUT UP and work more because their last 10/10 game was Yakuza Zero in 2015. After that it went downhill.
We had some really good stuff like Hokuto Ga Gotoku, Yakuza 6 and Yakuza Kiwami, but after that the only "collection" those fuckers released is a "collection" of MEDIOCRE games like Yakuza Like a Dragon, Yakuza Kiwami 2 (a huge disrespect to the great Yakuza 2) , VF5US, Super Monkey Ball Mania, the two Judgement games and the Ishin remake.
RGG studio, how i miss your greatness ! How i miss the time when you released the Fantastic Four of Masterpieces: Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza 5 and Binary Domain!
Please go back to your good times! We can't stand you anymore! The vision of Yakuza 8 and Infinite Wealth makes me want to cry!

Does that include the digital-only LAD game? If so, maybe it'll have a physical edition on Switch 2.

?Both Judgments are excellent games lol. They are both better than your "Fantastic Four of Masterpieces". I agree that new direction of Yakuza is garbage, and I decided to drop this series after the last game. Still waiting new Judgment though.RGG studio always treated nintendo hardware with disdain.

Judgment and Lost Judgment were pretty good. Like a Dragon was good, but a bit of a 1sr in new series so systems needed more work.RGG studio always treated nintendo hardware with disdain. This collection is going to be just a cheap cash grab.

Is this sarcasm? Inside joke? Am I just stupid? Y3, 4, 5 were like the weakest entries in the series.RGG studio always treated nintendo hardware with disdain. This collection is going to be just a cheap cash grab.

Sega released a Yakuza 1+2 HD collection for Wii U so they are not totally against Nintendo in principal. Nintendo's consoles ever since have just been underpowered so likely weren't worth the effort to port the rest till now.
It wasn't about power. This collection sold so poorly that it was a natural embarrassment. That's why studio's leadership, and Nagoshi especially, was so much against releasing anything on nintendo platforms.
Yeah then this is 100% fakeJudge by yourself:
...not really.

Yep, sold under 5K copies total, so Sega was kind of pissed off.

Releasing the game series heavily steeped in Japanese culture on the only platform anyone in Japan actually owns. What a fucking novel concept.I think it's reference to this
