Details of the extensive "play spots" and "cabarets" that will appear in the PS4 version of "Yakuza5: Yume, Kanoeshimono" have now been released, so let's take a look at them.

Yakuza" is a treasure trove of "fun
One of the main attractions of "Yakuza," along with the fighting battles, is the abundance of "fun" outside of the storyline. This time, too, there are numerous play spots available, including more than 30 standard table games such as mahjong and shogi, pachinko, slots, billiards, bowling, fishing, golf, casino games, and many more. Of course, cabarets continue to appear as "adult entertainment. Let us introduce a few of the most notable play spots among this vast array of games.

The famous taiko drumming game is back!
First, let us introduce a game newly included in "Yakuza 5. Air field hockey, a classic dating game, makes its first appearance in the series. The game is set up at a hot spring facility and is played in yukata (Japanese bathrobes).


The batting center, a familiar feature in the series, has been greatly updated in this title. In addition to simply hitting the ball to the mato, players can now enjoy more unique ways to have fun, such as solving math problems to get to the mato with the answer, or hitting and hitting to destroy the plate covering the photogravure photos.


In addition, visitors to the game center can play "Taiko Drum Master," a very popular music game by Namco Bandai Entertainment Inc!　The game is so faithfully reproduced that you may forget that it is "Yakuza" when you play it, and it includes three songs!　Also, don't miss the "Taiko Drum Master" mascot "Wadadon" as a prize in the UFO Catcher!


Also included in the arcade is another Sega classic, Virtua Fighter 2. At the time (1994), it may have been 10 years too early, but now 25 years have passed since then and it is still a legend. With the cooperation of the production team at the time (!?) The "Virtua Fighter 2" is a legendary work that has now passed 25 years since its release.


Local mini-games" that reflect the characteristics of each region
Since the game is set not only in Tokyo, but also in Sapporo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, and other five major cities, "local mini-games" have been prepared for each city except Tokyo. The games are called "local" games, and their content reflects the individuality of each city.

Sapporo Tsukimino "Snow Fighting
A competitive "snowball fight" is held in a corner of the Snow Festival site. Up to four people can compete in a snowball fight in a square area with a number of pillars, and the participant who scores the most points within the time limit wins. The participants will have to devise various battle strategies, such as guerrilla tactics and scattering attacks, in order to win.


Coach's Cup Classic" at Nishiki Sakae-cho, Nagoya
This is a competition held in a corner of an old building in Nishiki-Sakae-cho, Nagoya, where participants compete to see how fast they can run Nagoya's famous "cochin" (a kind of chicken). The participants train their own cochin to participate in the race and aim to win the pinnacle race. The game can also be enjoyed as a breeding game, as coaches can be bred with other females to produce coaches that inherit their parents' abilities.


Osaka's Sotenbori "Tsukkomi" Craftsman
Haruo, a former member of a comic duo who has run away with his partner, invites him to join him on stage as a "tskkomi" (a comedian). He aims to get through the audition by choosing the right words to fit in with Haruo's material, and by getting laughs from the audience.


Fukuoka, Nagasuegai "Noodle Shop Tatsuya
In this mini-game, you don an apron and take on the challenge of making ramen in place of the owner of a ramen stall who has a bad back. To make the ramen noodles as hard as the customers' orders, press the button at the right moment as the gauge increases and drain the water from the ramen.


The cabaret club, a social gathering place for adults, has also been upgraded!
The "face" of the series, the cabaret club, has evolved just as much as the fighting battles. The use of "face capture" technology has made it possible to talk with cabaret girls from a "subjective viewpoint" with more sex appeal and richer emotions, and also to perform actions during conversations. You can also take action during the conversation.


Start by asking for their business cards, and then try to increase your liking for them by making the conversation more lively and giving them gifts. When the conversation gets going, they will suggest playing games that are too stimulating for children, such as the "chocolate stick game," in which you eat chocolate sticks without using your hands and trying not to drop them from both ends, and they may even kiss you if you win the game! ...?


If you get to know them well enough, they may invite you to an "after-party" date after you leave the restaurant, or they may ask you out on an out-of-store date. In the out-of-store date, you can enjoy a unique story for each main character while viewing the cityscape of each city.
