If anyone is wondering, Gonda Wara is a particular character that shows up in a side story of Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2. THAT side story ;)
Seeing GBH turn up is always a joy, I love the guy and hopefully his Japanese is just as bad as ever.
Pachislots is a bit of a meh announcement to be honest. Going through Yakuza 5 just now and its easily the least interesting mini game, though the detail on the machines is excellent at least, so that'll be cool.
Racing should be fun, between F Zero GX and Daytona I have faith that Nagoshi won't make a bad racer mini game. I mean, Taxi racing in 5 was amazing and I personally loved Drone Racing as well once you nailed the controls (as clearing the interior of the millenium tower flawlessly was an amazing experience, though darn hard to do in Drone Racing).

No. This one is a restart of sorts. New characters, city, battle system, etc
Nah, this one is also a fresh start like Judgment, so you can jump in without playing any of the others.
I really hope one of the movies we can struggle to stay awake during is Yakuza Sunset. Before anyone asks what that is:
I would also like to explore the works of Stephen Spining (Indiana Jeans maybe?).
This is going to be crazy. I'm not too upset with them changing up combat. I'm actually looking forward to it. We've got Judgement and maybe other spin off games like Fist of the North Star for the usual action packed "Yakuza experience".
Not at all. I'd just like to recommend the series in general, though. It's one of my favorite series.
I feel bad for Cyberpunk and its devs, now that they know they haven't got a hope in hell of winning GOTY next year.
It's a new character, and every Yakuza game has a recap. Plus, the stories are fairly self-contained. Play them in any order you'd like
I loved 0 but not played the others yet. I just have a massive backlog. Currently playing FOTNS being a fan of the anime and then I wanna play Judgement as I really like the look of it. Then I'll get round to Yakuza starting with Kiwami....it's gonna be years probably before I get to this one lol. Won't be surprised if I end up playing it on PS5 as it'll be BC.
sidequests to unlock new summon. that's got to be how you get more summon, rights? it's perfect
like that crayfish summon is probably from some fishing minigame sidequests or something

The only reason we didn't get karaoke in Judgment was because Kimura is an expensive singer right? That's kind of what I assumed.

Welcome to Yakuza.
Correct. They never outright said that but it's very obvious that was the reason. No way Sega could afford Takuya Kimura to sing for them.
Karaoke is a big part of the Yakuza experience for me. Very excited to have it back in this entry
OP

It's one of my favorite mini-games across the series, so I'll be really glad to have it back as well.

LMAO
Man, I can already see the nightmarish button presses we'd have to do to perfect that one.
If this is the closest I can get to a new arcade racer from SEGA, then so be it.
Outrunners, please. Or Outrun 2/2SP, I'll take either.
Kart racing is perfect for a more expanded Yakuza game. I've always thought that Bully was one of the closest comparables to the Yakuza series, so having some kart racing in Yakuza just brings the two games closer in my mind :D Fingers crossed for the long-shot possibility that you can unlock the kart and drive it around outside of the racing minigame.
Summons sound really good. Definitely need an Ono Michio summon.
I'm minorly concerned that this game could take a shark jumping turn by turning up the density of outlandish things, but it's hard to tell whether the game is turning up the degree of wackiness even further or if they're just focusing on the super wacky stuff in the early information reveals.

Oh man, I didn't even think about this. Please let us do this RGG studio, that'll be so cool.
