It's been close to three years since the January 2022 reveal of Showa American Story, whose B-movie style trailer depicting 1980s America as a colony of Japan became a viral hit.
Showa American Story is a road movie-style action RPG in which you cross America in a camper van and motorcycle, and the trailer shows a wealth of locations to visit. We see San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge decorated with Japanese lanterns, Las Vegas awash with neon signs in kanji, the Hollywood sign replaced with "Neo Yokohama", and the newly christened Neo Tokyo-4 (Austin, Texas) awash with cherry blossoms. A man commits seppuku before Mount Rushmore. America is irresistibly dyed in the colors of Japan's Showa era.

Been on my wishlist since it was announced. Absolutely loved the trailer. Nostalgic Japanese music over weird ass scenes. My gut tells me there's no way it'll deliver and yet...

Goddamn, now that's a game!

Yakuza: Dead Souls, Devil's Third, and Dead Island rolled into one!

Will definitely get this game once it comes out!

It's Japanese showa themed game with American elements developed by a Chinese team

Definitely videogame spaghetti
 
Yes, I think this is the kind of fresh air we need in current state, it might not end up being great, but it at least tries to be interesting.

You mean how wildly disrespectful this is to culture? Did they even think of what people would think or is disrespecting cultures just completely fine here? wow

The level of tone deafness regarding this is crazy.

OFFENDED!
 
Looks thoroughly awesome. Kinda hard to believe this is coming from Chinese developers. Its the kind of game I would've thought some quirky Japanese studio would envision.

Good to hear its coming to PS5 as well.
 
It's like the guy that handled the comedy in Dead Rising(and was given free reign)got together with Kojima to make a game.
 
I've never wishlisted a game on Steam so hard before.

Feels like if the spirit of Tropic Thunder possessed a video game.
 
Just saw the trailer, I'm sold lol. It's like if Suda51 + Swery made a game together, and I love both NMH and Deadly Premonition, so this is right up my alley.
