Your dream spin off (Yakuza)
- Thread starter Giant Enemy Crab
- Start date
I really want a Sonic Yakuza game. Sonic in Kamurocho with Kiryu's voice actor, vibe like the Detective Pikachu game. Move at a normal human speed with the left stick, but if the right trigger is pulled he takes off like a car and pedestrians jump out of your way to clear a path.
Edit: Beaten by seconds haha

Yakuza x My Summer Vacation. I can already hear the cicadas. And the bloodshed.
In all seriousness, I would play literally anything set in Kamurocho and the like.

I dont want to dream.
All their spin offs are console only.
They made a ****ing Fist of the North Star game and I. CAN'T. play. it.

An adaptation of Inoue's Vagabond (which is an adaptation of Eiji Yoshikawa's novel Musashi) would be a really perfect fit for the Yakuza team, I think...
Yooo, Gintama would work amazingly well with Yakuza's style.
I'd be happy with Isshin with English subs though, come Sega, I'll keep shitpoisting about it until you make it happen.
It just has to be Gintama, it's literally perfect for the kind of game Yakuza is considering how much it goes back and forth between comedy and "serious" arcs. The setting being similar helps too.
I dreamt RGG Studio helped Yu Suzuki produce a Shenmue Kiwami of sorts

They better do it.
Like, the game is already done. Just localize it!
While you are at it port Black Panther 1 and 2 to PS5.
From what I understand, Yu Suzuki seems to dislike Yakuza.
Not sure why though.

I saw a bunch of Shenmue fans against the idea but they forgot many staff from the Yakuza Studio worked on Shenmue.

They already did Fist of the North Star, doing JoJo with the ORA ORA ORA ORA is like a hop skip away from that. Would be down for some cyberpunk action with Akira or Blade Runner. But the real dream is Cowboy Bebop.

Yakuza Studio can adapt...
The Nagoshi team worked under Suzuki for the first Shenmue.. They can do it again.
Yakuza x Animal Crossing
Give me a life sim where I live in the Japanese countryside and have thugs for neighbors, all the while contributing to the development of my town and improving the lives of the people around me through sometimes wacky surprise events

I wish.
Shenmue 3 should have just been done by him and Yakuza team. A lot of stuff from Shenmue are already in Yakuza (though they would need to program more stuff that makes the game fit shenmue as a straight conversion to Yakuza engine would fit Shenmue).
F-Zero or Streets of Rage for me. F-Zero could literally just be a few hours long campaign and excuse to let the Yakuza team make a successor to GX. Streets of Rage's crime-ridden streets would probably work pretty well in the traditional Yakuza framework while giving an opportunity to flesh out the story and characters.
I think because of how frequent annoying people pop up comparing the two games even though they have extremely different philosophies. The team could no doubt do a proper Shenmue-style game, but more often than not people comparing the two are usually just trying to dunk on Shenmue in spite of the two being extremely different outside of being open world games where you get into fistfights.
First I'm hearing about it. I only ever hear about Nagoshi not liking the comparison, with my understanding being because usually people are being disrespectful when they try to bring it up.

i feel like near any franchise would work in the genre.
Shit, make a modern zelda similar to that concept art that popped up some years back, and just straight up make a it a yakuza game.
An f-zero adaption has the potential to be the weird Star Fox Adventures of the franchise. Gimme.

I think so too, but considering Judgment came after Yakuza 0/Kiwami on Steam and there are no plans to port it... I'm not 100% sure.
Then again, they are busy porting the rest of the series...
City Hunter would be great, but you know what id love to see? Golgo 13. ive been thinking about this while playing through Like a Dragon for some reason (i think Arakawa's face reminds me of Togo a a bit). utilize minigame-like mechanics as part of the core gameplay (taking a job, researching the target/adjacents, setting up the operation, and finally executing the hit). id love to see them set it in the 70s/80s, too.

Fun fact, Sakamoto, the director of F-Zero GX produced Like a Dragon.

"Nagoshi was also very integral into making Shenmue come to life. Although the credits only tell us he was a supervisor; he has revealed the development story. He was called by the CEO at the time to get the game finished, and as a result, he had to serve as producer and director on the final months of development. He recognized that as one of the turning points in his career.[SUP][1]"[/SUP]

[SUP]Here's another specific example of the Nagoshi Team within Shenmue's project:[/SUP]

Tetsuya Kaku - Sega Retro
- Virtua Fighter (Model 1; 1993) — Programmers
- Virtua Fighter 2 (Model 2; 1994) — Variety
- Virtua Fighter 3tb (Model 3; 1997) — Program Director
- Virtua Fighter 3tb (Model 3; 1997) — Game System, Undulation
- Virtua Fighter 3tb (Dreamcast; 1998) — Program Director

So, this kind of senior who worked later on F-Zero, Binary Domain, Yakuza knows exactly the spirit of AM2 titles. :)

Another for JoJo, but what I really want is YuYu Hakusho. That would be absolutely amazing. Gintama would be the perfect series for Yakuza treatment though. Absolutely perfect fit.
And for JoJo I want a completely different game than what most people are saying. Give me a Battle Tendency sequel where Joseph is going to destroy the sleeping Santana and some rogue Speedwagon Foundation members lets him out and you have to find and stop them. Always felt hamon would work better with the gameplay mechanics and heat actions. Could even have a little Holly be the Haruka of the game lol

Yakuza: Dead Souls 2.
Use the shooter engine from Binary Domain.
Stars Haruka, who's learned how to fuck people's shit up.
Here's the target vibe:

In Japan yes it just started.
Us bums waiting on Netflix have to wait till July.
I just wanna have a game where Bruce banner helps people out and sings Karaokee then occasionally has to beat up gangsters with "hulk" actions
I feel like we've had this conversation multiple times before.
Cowboy Bebop because we need an awesome CB game although I'd like a bit of space combat and multiple locations.
Gintama because we need an awesome Gintama game and its just a perfect fit all around.
Dirty Pair, this makes too much sense as well.
New suggestion, Nichijou? There is a tonal shift between goofy melodrama to over the top violence, plenty of story and side activities potential. Tight location with plenty of characters to draw from.
Since the games are so tied into their locations and I don't see the team putting in multiple huge locations I don't know about some of the other suggestions in here.

My dream is a wrestling-themed Yakuza game. During the day you run around whatever city the game is set in, training and selling merch to buy gear, and by night you have wrestling matches with over-the-top heat actions for all your special moves. I feel like this could actually happen at some point since the Yakuza studio has done collaborations with New Japan Pro Wreslting before. Maybe some day.

Yes to Gintama or Cowboy Bebop. Both would be an amazing fit. I also think Bladerunner set in Tokyo would work very well and we already have a detective example with Judgement.
However (best is for last), Yakuza x Marvel Cinematic Universe is where its really at. Kyryo would naturally be Captain A :P. "I understood that reference" meme fits him to the T.
