Yakuza Kiwami 2 Brawls Onto Switch 2 In November

Nice, looked amazing!!

Nice to see that more Yakuza is coming to Nintendo! The variety of games on Nintendo systems these days is amazing compared to the early 2010s. Also nice to see that the first game is getting an upgrade as well!

Oh sure this is exactly what we all wanted... 2 big dozens of hours yakuza games in half a year...

I'm really glad Yakuza Zero seemingly sold enough to justify bringing the rest of the series to Switch 2. Can't wait as someone new to the series.

Let's goooo. I already bought Kiwami 1 on Switch 1 so I may not buy it again but Kiwami 2 is huuuge

What on earth is a double bull?

@jojobar You don’t have to play them this year if you don’t want to. That’s the beauty of games — enjoy them when you want to and not just during its zeitgeist.

Already got this on pc. If it has an English dub like Yakuza 0 had then I would buy it but from the trailer they were speaking Japanese I dont think this will have it

@jojobar Why would you NOT want more hours of Yakuza/Like a Dragon joy?

Sega needs to bundle part 0 & 1 with this one cause ain't no way I'm buying this if it's on game key card. You want me to buy the game Sega you do the right thing, put these games on the cartridge. Can't do it then have your pals at Limited Run Games do it for you.

My questions are:
1) is Kiwami 2 true physical?
2) is there an upgrade path for Kiwami 1?

@ottoecamn Don't count on both.

Yo’, Kiryu-Chan! My Body is Ready!

I’m guessing for Switch owners of the first game, if we want the Switch 2 version we have to buy it at full price.

@SpangoNuts it is twice a single bull

@Suketoudara with the Switch and Switch 2 dominating in Japan over the PS5, I’m not surprised. Regardless of the sales of the games, not having your game on the Switch is guaranteed to sting a little bit over there

Worst Yakuza game coming to Switch, let's goooo!

@jojobar Metal Gear Solid released a whole pack of like 5 20-hour games in one go, I think we can handle some Yakuza.

I was hesitant to get excited over Yakuza 0 on Switch 2 because of how downgraded the Yakuza 1 port was - if I want to play through the series I’d rather do it on one console, and i would have had to move to PS5 for Kiwami 1 (by choice) and 2 (by necessity)

Now I can play them all on Switch 2 so they made it much easier for me to consider getting into the series’ earlier entries. I am excited!

Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth were my first (and only) experiences with the series but I absolutely LOVED them, and want to go back to see what I missed.

@ottoecamn 2) says so in the last paragraph

@fenlix come on. 3 was much worse.

I just want Like A Dragon, why aren't you taking my money?!?!

"Plus, if you already own Yakuza Kiwami on Switch, you'll be able to upgrade to the Switch 2 version at a discounted price."
Where does this info come from?

I'm a little annoyed that Kiwami's getting an upgrade if that means that a physical version of the Switch 2 version is off the table (if nothing else, LRG will likely step in again).

I've only recently received my physical copy, and I was surprised to learn that it's on a 32GB cart. The standard edition was only US$35!

What the hell is every other major publisher's excuse for not offering 32GB releases at US$60-70 when LRG can do it at a budget price?! (Even more surprising is that LRG's releases are often overpriced, but this wasn't only fairly priced, it was a bargain!)

With regard to Kiwami 2, I'll pick it up if it gets the proper physical treatment on Switch 2, otherwise I'll play it on PC (I'm pretty sure it's available via GOG).

@fenlix are you kidding? Kiwami 2 is one of the best of the series! Just stop, fella.

No Switch 1 version of Kiwami 2? Really? Sigh

@Vyacheslav333 that game barely ran on PS4, no way Switch 1 would handle it even with a ton of downgrades

Nice. Glad to see the old Yakuza games coming to Switch.

Like A Dragon turn-based really didn’t do it for me.

Nice to see Nintendo get more Yakuza games. But I got most of em on PS4 which I don’t feel like double dipping for.

YES! Finally, my precious my precious is here!

Virtua Fighter 2!!!

Just need Yakuza 5 for Taiko no Tatsujin and I’m golden.

Physical or bust

Will get this game.

After the successes of recent Yakuza games on Nintendo consoles, we're slowly and slowly seeing more of them coming, until we reach the more recent outings. Cool, and let's keep that success afloat

It's gonna be on a Game-Key Card like the last Yakuza game, so I'm skipping it.

Honestly this bodes very well for the other LAD games under the Dragon Engine. Hopefully games like Judgement, Infinite Wealth, etc., aren't far off

Sega is really doing well lately

Having finally been to Tokyo now, I'm very interested in games that let me return and just hang out.

This'll be the first console version to run at 60 fps, finally. PS4/Xbox Series version is capped at 30
