As a visionary and prodigy programmer, Yū Suzuki was able to establish SEGA as one of the major players in the industry. From spectacular arcade terminals (After Burner), to 3D innovations (Virtua Fighter), including its centerpiece on console (Shenmue), his creativity has disrupted the usual codes.
He remains one of the most popular figures in video games, as evidenced by his numerous conferences around the world, as well as the enthusiasm for Shenmue III.
This book presents Yū Suzuki as he is, through his childhood and adolescence, his gaming philosophy, his visions, his cult titles and unfinished projects.
