Yakuza Kiwami Switch origins

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama has shared interesting details about how the recent Switch version of Yakuza Kiwami became to be.

It turns out that the project initially started as an experiment. Yokoyama was personally interested in Switch, especially after wrapping up work on the latest Super Monkey Ball game. Since the Yakuza team didn’t have much experience with the console, a small team began researching what was possible. Kiwami was chosen for the test and even though Yokoyama was pleased with the results, there were no plans to move forward with a proper release initially. However, there was another push due to the series’ new TV series.
