I am way into this new protagonist. He looks ridiculous and I love it.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

That's... unexpected

 

[noodalls]

新龍が如く =

Yaknewza?

 

[Aki-at]

Yakuza Online for smartphone I am so confused what haha.

 

[Sir Doom]

Oh mobile eh

 

[Desmond]

Says console and smartphone

 

[Jimrpg]

Online? FFS.

 

[papertoonz]

gotta go after that phone audience in japan

 

[Scotia]

Yakuza game for mobile I think.

Ah, OK. Thanks

 

[raven777]

Console on the left, smartphone on the right

 

[IrishNinja]

I am way into this new protagonist. He looks ridiculous and I love it.

yeah i dig his look but this feels...less likely than ishin to make it over here really

 

[Sinh_Magnus]

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on all the news here, but Makoto's in 2 Kiwami? I feel a bit conflicted about that. I love the character, but the ways they wrapped up her story in 0 was perfect.

Yeah, I wonder how they are going to bring her back. 0's ending for Majima was really special.

Also, mobile online rpg? Well if that's how they are getting money for bigger projects, go for it.

 

[LordKano]

An asian version has been announced ? Available in English ?

 

[UrbanRats]

Not a pro, so pointless.

 

[MattAces]

An asian version has been announced ? Available in English ?

Nope. Only traditional chinese.

 

[dadjumper]

Okay so they're making Shin Yakuza for consoles and Yakuza Online for smartphones and they'll be in the same universe with the same main character, is what I've gathered so far

 

[Tizoc]

wait...online?

oh

well



wait did i miss something here tizocs

From a Shmuplations interview with Ayano Koshiro

V. Imagining Streets of Rage 4

—If someone told you you could have carte blanche to make a Streets of Rage 4, what kind of game would you make?

Koshiro: 4? (laughs)

—Anyway you wanted it. (laughs)

Koshiro: Really? And what if I said I'd make it a puzzle game? (laughs)

—(laughs) Whatever you want.

Koshiro: Well... of course it wouldn't be a puzzle game! Hmm, I'd probably make something that took advantage of modern hardware and allowed everyone to play together. Like an online multiplayer thing, where you and five of your friends could all swagger down the street like a gang.

Now imagine THAT with the Yakuza gang

 

[PdotMichael]

Yakuza Hostess Gatcha game would ne glorious!

 

[Scotia]

Console on the left, smartphone on the right

Man, that model did not translate well from the art

 

[IrishNinja]

Not a pro, so pointless.

yeah that's a strange choice really...then again pro might sell like ass there

Okay so they're making Shin Yakuza for consoles and Yakuza Online for smartphones and they'll be in the same universe with the same main character, is what I've gathered so far

still feels less likely but cool character design anyway!

 

[lucebuce12]

Man, that model did not translate well from the art

Apparently, left is console and right is mobile.

Okay so they're making Shin Yakuza for consoles and Yakuza Online for smartphones and they'll be in the same universe with the same main character, is what I've gathered so far

 

[J4g3r]

Yakuza Hostess Gatcha game would ne glorious!

Please no, Dokkan Battle is already too tempting for my wallet.

 

[Rymuth]

So thus far

- Yakuza Kiwami 2
- Shin Yakuza starring Kazuga Ichiban
- Yakuza online (where Ichiban will make an appearance)

 

[Kain-Nosgoth]

so.... are these two new game? People talk about shin yakuza and yakuza online... are they the same?

So thus far

- Yakuza Kiwami 2
- Shin Yakuza with Kazuga Ichiban
- Yakuza online (where Ichiban will make an appearance)

Thanks!

 

[Jimrpg]

[IrishNinja]

ichiban is literally the best japanese buffet ive found here on the cheap in miami

so yes i fucks hard with ichiban even if this will confuse me when im hungry

 

[Desmond]

people come talk in my Kiwami 2 thread onegai

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

If I understand this correctly, Shin Ryu ga Gotoku is the new Yakuza game for consoles and Ryu ga Gotoku Online is a smartphone game, but they're connected at least by their protagonist?

Either way I'm hyped for that guy, whatever his name is. He looks cool and sounds awesome and feels crazy enough to work.

Looking forward to it!

 

[UnluckyKate]

I might be in Japan for xmas... No don't do this to me

 

[BBboy20]

oh he is VA of Nishikiyama lol

Surprised they didn't just straight up gave him a 1:1 suit of his.

 

[Philippo]
