Zitat aus einen Live Stream des Entwicklerstudio, übersetzt mit DeepL.
“Yokoyama: First of all, I heard that ‘Kiwami’ is selling like hotcakes. That’s good. The executives of the company were predicting the number of units. I missed it by a long shot. I think I looked at it a bit too conservatively. Kato, the marketing manager, guessed it, but it was very exciting. It was 20 years ago when I made the first Yakuza game. And then it was changed to ‘Kiwami’, but even ‘Kiwami’ had already been released, hadn’t it? It’s been out for a long time, and I thought it was something that people all over the world had touched, but this time, with the Amazon Prime drama and all the other things that happened, it’s on Switch. Well, it’s already a port, you know. And it’s a download-only game. As someone who makes games, I’m very happy that people are playing it again. It’s difficult to remake games. It’s not easy to sell a game once more. That’s why I’m so happy. I’m very happy. I think there are a lot of people who want to play the Switch one more time. I downloaded it too. It’s nice to be able to take it with you.”
Ein Tweet von einem der Entwickler:
“According to this thread by an RGG dev (using machine translation), this Port was an experiment made by a few programmers on their spare time that was apparently not going to be comercialized for some reason but decided to do so for the TV show and apparently the process was super fast after that. Not sure how much they improved it since the “experiment phase” though, that part sounds a bit ambiguous.”
