First up, the final character to be confirmed for the initial launch roster in Street Fighter V was revealed. Becoming the 16th challenger, F.A.N.G emerges from the shadows to take his self-proclaimed spot as the second in command of Shadaloo!

IRVINE, Calif. - Dec. 5, 2015 - The 1980s in Japan were defined by unprecedented amounts of decadent overindulgence - and nothing was out of greed's reach, especially in Kamurocho. A chilly but electric Tokyo in December 1988 is the backdrop for Kazuma Kiryu's ascension into the ranks of the Yakuza - the name given to members of notorious crime organizations. And with Yakuza 0, newcomers to SEGA® of America, Inc.'s Yakuza series will be able to get in on the ground floor, with the game's standalone, story-driven action that focuses on navigating the seedy underworld of Japan with series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, and for the first time in a numbered title, players will be able to play as long-time NPC, Goro Majima - the Mad Dog of Shimano. Available on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the game will be localized and released as physical and digital versions in the Americas.

Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy. Yakuza 5 Pulls No Punches With New Batch of Combat Screenshots
One of the most important things a Yakuza must know is how to beat people's faces to a pulp. We're talking about brutal, bloody and no-holds-barred street fighting. Kiryu and Saejima didn't get street cred by adopting puppies and saving the trees, they got it by beating the ever-living crap out of everyone who dared stand in their way.

Yakuza 5 -- A Measure of a Man Isn't Just How Well He Fights in Battle...It's Also How Sassy He Can Look in Purikura Prints
So first, here's a quick mea culpa from me: I've been thinking about Yakuza 5 completely wrong. Admittedly, I have not played much of the Yakuza series, and if you caught our livestream last week you saw the bulk of what I've played already. But here's one important lesson that I've learned: You're not acting like Yakuza 24/7.
Well, I mean, you are - Kiryu, Shinada, all the rest of the protagonists are embroiled in a story rife with the danger that only Japanese gangster life could bring about, but the only thing going 24/7 in this game is the fact that you're in Japan.
