    Brown Man Bedtime Story

    The setting: Enterbrain's (publisher of Famitsu) TGS booth. The man? Brown Man. Otherwise known as Toshihiro Nagoshi. The event: no idea, can't speak Japanese, but from the relaxed vibe and the crossed legs we're pretty sure he's reading everyone a bedtime story. Something about Yakuza, monkey's balls, tanning salons and rip-off track pants. Oh, and ice cream.

    More On Yakuza 3 And Its Idyllic Summer Getaway

    A third, proper Yakuza game? For the PS3? Exciting stuff. So let's go over a few of the game's finer details. While we already know the game will be an immediate sequel to the second, featuring the same characters and the same storyline, what we didn't know was that the game's going to be taking a pleasant break from the streets of faux-Tokyo. While the game will still be based around Kamurocho, it'll be adding a "second city": island getaway Okinawa (or, at least, a fictional take on Okinawa). Toshihiro "Brown Man" Nagoshi talks up the addition, saying the addition of the island's resort lifestyle and touristy atmosphere - coupled with its "darker side" - will stand in stark contrast to the gritty, urban atmosphere of Kamurocho, and as far as the story goes "fits the bill perfectly". No doubt the location testing will also fit Nagoshi's sun-bathing bill perfectly, so it's a win-win situation for all involved.

    Eight Incomprehensible Minutes Of Yakuza 3

    Sega's Yakuza 3 (aka Ryu ga Gotoku 3 Kenzan!) is nothing if not cinematic. And while the above clip, the intro to the PlayStation 3 game, may be lacking in action beyond the first minute, the attention to detail in Toshihiro Nagoshi's open-world adventure is still impressive. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't care so much about the language barrier, only hoping that Sega gets this localized—subtitles are just fine, by the way—as soon as is humanly possible. The HD version is even easier on the eyes.

    Toshihiro Nagoshi? Dirty Pants.

    Super Monkey Ball. Yakuza. Brown awesomeness. Those are three things that SEGA game designer and fashion plate Toshihiro Nagoshi is best known for. His latest game Ryu Ga Gotoku KENZAN! (aka Yakuza 3) was released today in Japan. Commenter Bellamy sends this good ol' fashioned Kotaku Stalku: More »

    Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi Eats An Orgasmic Yakuza Dinner

    We don't like Toshihiro Nagoshi's games quite as much as we like the man. Sure, Super Monkey Ball and Yakuza (aka Ryu Ga Gotoku) are fantastic Sega franchises, but we're far more impressed with Nagoshi's transition from run of the mill developer to a bronze god bedecked in nothing but gleaming white and leopard print. He's an awesome god.

    Nagoshi descended from the heavens and touched down in Tokyo recently to sample the signature dish based on the third Yakuza game, known there as Ryu Ga Gotoku KENZAN! Emphasis Sega's. The menu, appearing at a pair of cafes in the Tokyo area, features a trio of drinks that compliment delicious looking meat-on-stick fare and fresh salads.

    For more pictures of Nagoshi eating and drinking, hit up Game Watch's coverage of the Ryu Ga Gotoku KENZAN! PR machine in action.

    Yakuza 3 Features Historically Accurate Strippers, Turtle Racing, Yakuza

    I'm quite certain that anyone vacillating over their purchase of Ryu Ga Gotoku Kanzen!—we'll call it Yakuza 3, when we get it—was mostly sold on the game the second they learned of its strong turtle racing component. I can only assume that those who remain unconvinced will take one look at the game's accurate recreations of Edo era bikinis and write Sega with great haste, demanding localization of the PlayStation 3 adventure game. Dozens of screenshots, including a stellar looking rat versus snake aspect, should seal the deal.

    Yakuza 3 Countdown Begins

    While Sega's Yakuza may have flopped hard in the U.S., the Japanese equivalent, Ryu Ga Gotoku is nothing short of a mega-budget mega-hit overseas, spawning a sequel, two movies and funding producer Toshihiro Nagoshi's cell phone buying habits. Both Ryu Ga Gotoku games went "Best Hits" meaning a sequel was inevitable. And now that the official Ryu Ga Gotoku site in Japan is sporting a handy countdown calendar, an announcement seems inescapable. More »

    Suda51 Announcing Something Soon to Somebody

    Vague, I realize. Goichi Suda, Killer7 creator, tells SEGA brownman Toshihiro Nagoshi that he'll be announcing something in the next few weeks. No More Heroes is a while off, and Suda's got his fingers in several pies, so I'm curious: What is he announcing? Info about his Snatcher project with Kojima? His proposed PS3 game? His unannounced Xbox 360? What? Like I said, I'm curious.
