The saga formerly known as Yakuza which became Like a Dragon, also in the West, is a true ode to the titles of SEGA. Each part of the adventures of Kazuma Kiryu and, more recently, Ichiban Kazuga, allows us to revive some classics from the Japanese developer in arcades and other parts of cities where the stories take place.
In this guide, the idea is to capture up to the latest installment of the IP, which title can be enjoyed from your Xbox without having to leave the main game. With SEGA’s already-seen idea of releasing new classic games, it never hurts to get back to basics, even if it’s for a while.
SEGA everywhere

Here the offer was much more limited and will only be available Print Club (this photo booth) and the card game MesuKing: Beauties of combat bugs.
