Nate, Sebastian, Ryan, and Jordan gather to discuss BUSHIDO BLADE, Light Weight's 1997 samurai fighting game in which a single strike of the katana can be deadly. We consider how pace can change the feel of a fighting game, discuss our favorite samurai movies, and consider how many swords a guy can own before becoming a "Sword Guy." Sebastian discusses a narrative format he wishes more games would embrace, and Nate makes a plea for everyone to petition SEGA to localize Yakuza Ishin.
