Our first look at the next Yakuza game comes from an unlikely source

Ichiban has a ponytail! Apparently, there’s a new town? And I got my mum to translate some bits. The video in question sees Mikuru Asakura wandering about RGG’s studios having a great time. Aside from that, it’s a jovial enough chat with no more morsels of info to chase. Then onto the juicy stuff, which sees the camera pan over what looks like Yakuza 8 footage.

NZXT are making gaming monitors now, and they’re lookin’ sharp

Far from being just another PC hardwarethingto check off, they look like they might be alright? The pricing is surprisingly competitive too.
