Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Has a Smorgasbord of Silly Side Activities

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii does appear to be diving off at the deep end tonally – or should that be diving off the wooden plank? Nevertheless, it’s the side-content that tends to take the SEGA series in a particularly silly direction, and the latest entry will be no different.

In addition to the usual suspects like karaoke and baseball (with a nautical twist), you’ll also find the long-awaited return of Dragon Kart, the Mario Kart-inspired combat racing minigame.

The main sub-activity this time is named Maseru’s Love Journey, and it’ll see you throwing a party so your crewmate can fulfil his dream of hanging with the Minato Girls. Judging by the screenshots, there’ll be some FMV involved here, featuring various models, streamers, and more.

As for the sub-stories, you’ll deal with a variety of colourful characters, including one man who’s uncertain of whether to join an idol’s bus tour.

Elsewhere, buried treasure 1998 SEGA arcade game The Ocean Hunter will be added to the Club SEGA arcades, while the Master System will be getting a new trio of playable titles, including Poseidon Wars 3-D, Space Harrier 3-D, and Star Jacker.

There’s a ridiculous amount to do and see, then, as is always the case with this series. Which minigames are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments section below.
