Anytime a company holds a showcase, you really hope they bring it. Sure, it may not always be the biggest of announcements, but you want good ones. There were a plethora of them at the Xbox Partner Preview on Wednesday, including a surprise visitor. Big Boss showed up in some impressive looking gameplay, and even he was joined by a friend later in Ichiban from the Yakuza series bringing the laughs in new footage for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. I could continue on, but why tell when we can show?
