- Yakuza Kiwami (Nintendo Switch) Review - 24 October 2024
What once was a humble beat-em-up series with a surprisingly nuanced story on the beloved PlayStation 2 has found its way to every conceivable platform known to man. Yakuza Kiwami now, too, joins that list as it hits Nintendo’s aging hybrid console. Originally released back in 2017 , built on the foundation of Yakuza 0 , Yakuza Kiwami gave players a full remake of the 2006 original for the PlayStation 4, Xbox, PC and even the PlayStation 3 in Asian territories. With such a broad spectrum of platforms, I was curious and hopeful to see just how Y akuza Kiwami would translate on the Nintendo Switch. I’ll just cut straight to the chase: Yakuza Kiwam i on the Nintendo Switch is one of the worst ways to experience the game. Saying that, however, if you’ve never played a Yakuza title and are a casual player who only has access to a Nintendo Switch, then, in truth, Yakuza Kiwami is more than en…

- Snag Yakuza's Kiryu arc for an astonishingly low price if you're quick - 1 September 2024
What's the best story in gaming? The Witcher, Metal Gear Solid, Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemption - the list goes on, and you'll find different answers at every turn. But for me, it's tough to top the Yakuza games. The series has adopted the Japanese 'Like a Dragon' moniker since Yakuza 7, but prior to that we got a full seven-game series (including the masterful Yakuza 0) covering the extensive career of Kazuma Kiryu, one of the most eminently lovable protagonists in anything. If you've yet to experience his tale, now is the perfect time, as you can grab the full thing at a huge discount if you're fast. Read the rest of the story...

- Yakuza Kiwami finally arrives on Switch later this year, so get ready to beat up some goons Nintendo folks - 27 August 2024
Yakuza Kiwami , the remaster of the first game in the series, is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch this October, allowing you to experience the opening tale of Kazuma Kiryu's story - depending on whether you fancy playing prequel Yakuza 0 beforehand - on the handheld. As revealed during today's Nintendo Direct, a Switch port of RGG Studio's game about big Kaz battling his bro Akira Nishkiyama and first getting to grips with the idea that Goro Majima's going to haunt him for the rest of his days by popping up all over the shop and asking for a scrap is on the way. It's set to release on October 24, 2024, giving you a couple of months to prepare yourself for a trip to Kamurocho with both it and the TV adaptation Like a Dragon: Yakuza looking set to arrive on the same day. How do you do that? I dunno, maybe practive switching between stances as you batter some goons, and then loose just a w…

- Like a Dragon: Yakuza shows a lot of tattooing and brooding in its first teaser trailer, but not much else - 27 July 2024
Prime Video has released the first teaser trailer for its live-action take on the Yakuza series, Like a Dragon, but don't expect too much from it. We're very much in the age of video game adaptations at the moment, with shows like The Last of Us and Fallout , and films like the Super Mario Bros. Movie finding a lot of success. So it was no surprise when Sega and Amazon announced Like a Dragon: Yakuza, the latest live-action take on the beloved game series, last month . Now, at San Diego Comic-Con, Amazon has released the show's first trailer and it… doesn't show us all that much. There's plenty of shots of protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, portrayed by Ryoma Takeuchi this time around, getting his iconic tattoo done, as well as a few other shots of men looking very serious - one of them even sheds a tear - but it's hard to garner what the show will actually be like. The Yakuza series does of cou…
- Amazon's live-action Like a Dragon: Yakuza lead knows there's "no point in trying to surpass the original game" so they're portraying Kazuma Kiryu in their "own way" - 15 July 2024
Ryoma Takeuchi, the actor behind Amazon's live-action Like a Dragon: Yakuza series, is well aware of the weight of the role he's taking on. Last month, Sega announced that the Yakuza series, now rebranded as Like a Dragon, will be getting a live-action, TV show adaptation on Amazon. It's not the first time the series has gone the way of live-action, though it will be the first time in this era of "are video game adaptations kind of good now?" The show will unsurprisingly be about series mainstay Kazuma Kiryu, with this particular outing seeing Ryoma Takeuchi taking on the role. Takeuchi recently spoke with IGN Japan about joining the series, where he spoke about his feelings on portraying a character from a pre-existing series, and the challenges that came with that. "I was surprised to be offered this role," Takeuchi explained. "I knew about the game series and had played the first gam…
