Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Should Include Sujimon Mini-Game

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Should Include Sujimon Mini-Game

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that I’ve seen a fair share of games come and go. But when it comes to the Yakuza series, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has managed to carve out a unique niche for itself in the gaming world. The upcoming title, “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii,” is shaping up to be a treasure trove of fun, and I can’t wait to dive into it headfirst!


Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is returning to the vibrant backdrop of Hawaii following the success of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, setting up an appealing location for the game series. The upcoming title, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, features the beloved character Goro Majima and promises a standalone game experience similar to a Gaiden. This new installment is expected to infuse pirate elements into the series’ traditionally gritty urban underworld atmosphere. There are many exciting novelties for fans to look forward to, but what truly captivates is how it seamlessly blends classic series elements into its storyline.

One appealing aspect of the Like a Dragon series is the variety of mini-games and additional activities players can enjoy beyond the main storyline. Over the years, these games have played a significant role in shaping the distinct personalities of each Like a Dragon title. The introduction of more mini-games in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth was impressive, but one standout mode from that game merits reappearing in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Should Feature Infinite Wealth’s Sujimon Battles

In the game “Yakuza: Like a Dragon”, the Sujimon concept was initially introduced, but it was fully developed into a combat mode in “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth”. Players could acquire new Sujimon across the Hawaiian map to engage them in battles and tackle the Sujimon League in an optional yet extensive side story. Given the depth of the Sujimon recruitment and combat mechanics, it seems unfortunate if this mode is omitted from “Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii”, especially since it appears that many activities from “Infinite Wealth” are set to return.

Every Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Mini-Game Confirmed So Far

  • Crazy Delivery
  • Karaoke
  • Dragon Kart
  • Masaru’s Love Journey – My Dream Minato Girl –

In the upcoming game “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii”, some popular mini-games from previous “Like a Dragon” installments will make their appearance. For instance, “Crazy Delivery” from “Infinite Wealth” and “Dragon Kart” from “Yakuza: Like a Dragon” are returning, and were previously exclusive to the protagonist Ichiban Kasuga. Additionally, the iconic karaoke mini-game will be back, along with the new mystery mini-game titled “Masaru’s Love Journey – My Dream Minato Girl -“. There’s potential for other fresh and classic side activities to join the lineup as well.

Majima is the Perfect Protagonist to Expand the Sujimon Mini-Game

Historically, only Ichiban has been given the chance to engage in activities related to Sujimon, such as finishing the Sujidex in “Yakuza: Like a Dragon” or becoming champion of the Sujimon League in “Infinite Wealth”. This exclusivity might be due to Ichiban’s quirky personality as a protagonist compared to Kiryu, but it’s not just Ichiban who can show off a goofy side. Majima is adored for his zany Mad Dog persona, so having him collect and battle Sujimon would suit the character well.

After I’ve successfully taken down the Sujimon League in “Infinite Wealth”, their current regime collapses, and the Discreet Four pledge to reconstruct the league. This could pave the way for Majima to step up as a fresh contender, setting an intriguing stage for future conflicts.

In light of how the Sujimon plot has developed from Yakuza: Like a Dragon to Infinite Wealth, it appears that the natural next step for the storyline would be in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Given that the game seems to incorporate a mechanic enabling Majima to gather his pirate crew and engage in naval battles, he might also find himself training and fighting against new Sujimon on land.
