Kinda weird they didn't start with Y0 but a Yakuza game is still a Yakuza game.

I'm assuming it's because the upcoming show is based on Y1/Kiwami

Kiwami 1 is very lightweight game, if was a dragon engine game then we would see what would happen

[@M0rinkashi]

​​@@canoafurada5479 Truth be told; Zero and the original Ishin! had PS3 ports and even Vita companion apps, and for the companion apps, both have minigames to grind your character while you're away from the main games (tournament in 0 and dungeons in Ishin!), so there's no doubt that Kiwami will run on the Switch, even if a bit funky.

They put the Yakuza John on da sweeetch

[@shizuwolf]

Would've been better if it was the 1&2 HD collection

[@MadDogSolo]

Or if they bundled it together with it, but I wonder why they did Kiwami first seeing it’s literally just Yakuza 0 over again with assets from other entries.

[@glassypress2360]

​@@MadDogSoloprobably because if they wanted to port 0 they would have to ask the actors for their likeness again and i doubt Dragon Engine games can even run on the switch.

[@MadDogSolo]

@@glassypress2360 For sure DE games couldn’t run, and that is a good point they’d probably need to renew stuff with the actors to port it again.

[@Mehtalik]

Original games aged badly, who would want to play this?

[@MadDogSolo]

@@Mehtalik I’d agree with you on Yakuza 1, but Yakuza 2 plays better than even some of the modern games.

[@Sputnik_Man]

So this technically means Kiryu has a chance in the next Smash Bros game

[@dottyorb]

I'm quite suprised they ported Kiwami and not 0, I noticed they replaced that bundle of Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2 with one made of just the Kiwamis.

[@necus64]

That'd be too awsome

[@walderoni9865]

Finally i can play mesu king on the subway on my way to work

[@AkiyamerGaming]

they out here bringing kiwami on nintendo before yakuza 0 so yakuza 0 could still be the greatest yakuza game to this day

[@Chloe_Zana]

I'm actually legitimately very excited for this. I bought 0 and both Kiwamis on Steam ages ago and then discovered my hand-me-down computer couldn't run them. Now, almost exactly four years since I got into the series, I'll finally be able to play it myself instead of just watch my friend stream it on Discord. I'm sure it'll perform terribly, but I don't even care. I'm so excited.

[@biluko]

Now i can finally dont need steam link to play Yakuza kiwami on my phone anymore

[@N7RiZe]

I'm honestly surprised this didn't happen sooner considering the amount of Switches out there. I would've thought RGG would put 0 to 5 on there already, though they'd have to bundle in the HD version of 2 instead of Dragon engine 2 lol.

[@skyqueen3]

I might try it. The one time I miss the direct they drop this.

[@SeiyaTempest]

Yakuza on Switch is cool, but why didn't they show off MesuKing in this trailer? Easily the best part of Kiwami.

[@alexlipps]

[@lukecwolf]

It’s not an intensive game so maybe not, also it was made for PS3 late into its lifespan so that says a lot.

[@gamercoolpt1398]

ten years in the joint made you into a nintendo switch port

[@HyperP0W3R]

I said this on twitter, but Yakuza Kiwami on the Switch will either be an alright port or an Sonic 1 GBA port treatment.

[@MadDogSolo]

It’s not even impressive for a PS4 so I don’t expect that unless they screw up the port job.

[@Kio_186]

It was on the PS3 too

[@nickywampole3306]

[@galinmeric2149]

The most interesting thing of this is is just, they changed Kiwami's logo.

[@MadDogSolo]

Yeah, also kind of find it weird they aren’t going with Like a Dragon Kiwami since the names have been unified already, but maybe that’s because it already released in the west years ago under “Yakuza Kiwami”, also remember they were gonna call it “Yakuza Extreme” in the west but Nagoshi disapproved of it.

[@megamike15]

i know they are only doing this becuse of the show. thats why they did not port 0.
