Showa American Story - Exclusive Trailer

[@StanMzmr]

Some quote from the dev in an interview recently: “All the scenes here are drawn entirely from the creators’ minds and memories, without a trace of factual accuracy. As some casual viewers might put it, this is a full-blown display of ‘pure stereotypes.’” “If we can’t satisfy all the perfectionists, then let’s make sure none of them are satisfied.”

It is a game that happened in America. but it’s more than that, It’s a certain years after zombie apocalypse. but it’s more than that, It's a USA that is already economically&culturally colonized by Japan in 80s. but it’s more than that, The game is made by Chinese.

@anaarchostatist191 Summary: Chinese people understand their culture better than Americans and Japanese

[@KamenKami]

2:41 Cat's Eye and Kamen Rider references. Someone on the dev team has excellent taste.

[@KoeSeer]

1:28 it's Agito's Machine Tornador and you can't convince me it's not.

[@TheKazuma410P]

3:34 Hokuto no Ken, absolutely

[@SirBoopBoop]

2:39 Astro Boy & 3:00 Gurren Lagann, as well. These devs have great taste!

[@markoholic_]

2:02 is also a dragon ball reference where kid goku punches through king piccolo

[@SIMON60605]

看完真的很感動 很難得因為一個遊戲，各個國家的人放下各種偏見與政治因素匯聚再一起討論 身為一個台灣人 我是邊哭邊打出這些言論的 尤其是聽到それが大事這首 真的很謝謝中國的工作室 看到美日兩國的網友給予極高的評價 我希望未來大家能夠在網路世界和平共處 而不是因為那些垃圾的政治人操弄讓大家短兵相接

現在的網軍很會帶風向. 怎麼不先去跟那些整天騷擾國際海域的中國海軍跟空軍講啊? 去中國網內跟那些抗日神劇跟小粉紅抗議啊~跟我們這些牆外的講說偏激?拜託一下. 我們沒有被封鎖可以看到牆內的網路跟新聞.抖音小紅書也一大堆中宣部影片.也可以機票買了去中國.到底誰才是帶風向的?~而且這是美日的玩家有風度. 今天要是換成遊戲是"武漢中國故事".你看中國政府跟中國人能不能開心接受再說啦.

This feels like something Capcom would make (ala Dead Rising-ish). I'm genuinely impressed and intrigued to see more of this.

For the person who doesn’t know, In the 1980s, the Japanese claimed that they could buy the entire United States by selling Tokyo, because Japan was very rich at that time, but later the United States felt threatened and punished the Japanese economy. This story is based on a hypothesis that if Japan had not been punished by the United States, Japan would have bought the United States or culturally occupied it🎉

[@JustSomeGuy009]

That's not exactly accurate as to why the Japanese economy tanked.

[@billygoatgruff3536]

"Punished the Japanese economy" is a weird way of saying China became a free market.
