A kid with a tiger cub pal named Noah finds him, and before long, Majima finds himself beating up a pirate captain and taking over his ship (or so it\u2019s implied.) I got my first hands-on with the latest in the Yakuza franchise, and I\u2019d love to tell you about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">I played a short portion of Pirate Yakuza when Majima, Noah, and friends arrived in Infinite Wealth\u2019s familiar locale of Honolulu, but this was very much constructed as a demo, so I can\u2019t be certain of how similar the next series of events would be to the full game. First, a short combat tutorial on mechanics potentially unfamiliar to Infinite Wealth players: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii isn\u2019t a turn-based RPG like Infinite Wealth, but instead an action beat-em-up like the original Yakuza games. This short tutorial primarily described Majima\u2019s two fighting styles: Majima\u2019s classic Mad Dog Style and the new, aptly pirate-themed Sea Dog Style. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div class=\"jsx-2569068517 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-569795787\">Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii &#8211; First Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jsx-2569068517 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-2569068517 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/09\/27\/ss-5a7eb0f6f7ca7048630528f5715563147340c2a6-1920x1080-1727469614907.jpg?width=888&amp;crop=16%3A9&amp;quality=20&amp;dpr=0.05\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image jsx-1049729975 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-3398679358 hover-opacity loading\"\/><span class=\"jsx-1603570557 button button--primary jsx-1497807629 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">In Sea Dog Style, Majima wields dual cutlasses, a long-range hand cannon, and a wire hook that allows you to pull in close to a targeted enemy. A cutlass can also be thrown as a boomerang if a button is held down. Combat is engaging and fun, and I can see it being varied enough to keep things interesting with just its two different styles. <\/p>\n<div class=\"display-title jsx-3110565651 quote-container\" data-cy=\"quoteBox\">The Dragon Kart mini-game is basically Yakuza Mario Kart, complete with boosts, drifting, coins, and items.<\/div>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">After the basic tutorial, I could choose whether to go to the fabled Madlantis to continue the story, or do one of a few side activities: Karaoke, Dragon Kart, Crazy Delivery, and fit check (change clothes). <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">I don\u2019t have quite enough experience with these mini-games in previous Yakuza games, so I couldn\u2019t comment on whether anything substantial had changed about them, but they were all fun and worthy of spending time on for the entertainment factor alone. I can tell you that long-time Yakuza fans will definitely recognize at least some of the songs available in karaoke, though. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Yakuza: Like a Dragon\u2019s mini-game Dragon Kart wasn\u2019t in Infinite Wealth, making it the most far-removed of the side activities available during the demo. This absorbing mini-game is pretty built out in its own right and is basically Yakuza Mario Kart, complete with boosts, drifting, coins, and items. You can also go to a changing room to switch out Majima\u2019s clothes for both his regular and pirate styles.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">In between side-activities, I became best friends with a little bird named Joseph and used the new Wire Hook while out exploring to gather a high-up butterfly. Apparently you can swing around Hawaii with it, but I didn\u2019t see any obvious points to trigger this when I played. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Finally, for the main event, I got to see a bit of the brand new location of Madlantis. This grungy yet lively ship-graveyard-turned-mini-city-inside-a-cave-in-the-middle-of-the-ocean looks like a worthy hub. It\u2019s at least home to Pirate Colosseum, where, in the full game, you\u2019ll be able to engage in \u201cintense ship battles\u201d as the Goro Pirates. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t get to try out any sort of ship battle in the demo, which was a little disappointing to say the least, but Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is ship-shaping up to be a seaworthy spin-off with a fin-favorite at its helm. (Sorry, I couldn\u2019t resist.) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/like-a-dragon-pirate-yakuza-in-hawaii-the-first-preview\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the trailer for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Yakuza fan-favorite Goro Majima wakes on a beach with his memory wiped.
