"Don't you know that smoking is way uncool?"

We weren’t entirely sure how we felt about SEGA pulling the prequel card with the latest entry in its Japanese gangster series, Yakuza Zero. However, after watching this brand new trailer, we’re totally sold on the concept. It shows protagonists Kazuma Kiryu and Majima Goro strutting around Kamurocho like the young studs that they are – and brushing aside anyone that gets in their way.

While the Tokyo setting doesn’t look especially different in its 80s guise, we’re enjoying the punk rock song selection and terrible fashion choices on display in this clip. Now all we need is some kind of Western release, huh? Come on SEGA, make it happen. Oh, who are we kidding – we’re never going to play one of these games ever again, are we?
