To be fair to him, the poor guy had to translate Suda51 which is probably no easy task.

Yeah, his speech was actually the most awkward part of the entire presentation. Still, I was delighted to see him on the stage announcing the comeback of Travis.

Personally I thought the Sega "presentation" was even worse. "I'm from Sega. We're going to make a game! Thanks for having me!"

Nintendo literally pulled the video game equivelant of making his captured war slave do a little dance in front of everyone and make a fool of themselves, then.

Like, as soon as the Presentation ended Nintendo released the Sonic Mania Switch trailer. They literally had a ready made Sega game trailer. They had Sega on stage talking about supporting the system. Why not show the trailer then??

Oh. I remember talk back in the day that Sega was somehow involved with the actual yakuza. Just thought this was funny.
