I know people will see the title and thumbnail and will decide to comment before watching even the first 10 seconds of the video and to those people: Throughout this video I explain why a great game deserves to become amazing. I say how Yakuza 3 is unfortunately met with some high expectations compared to later games, but I also say how that doesn't at all prevent the game from still being fun. Not at any point throughout this entire video do I say something like "Yakuza 3 sucks dick". No. Not at all. Not even remotely. I promise.
I am replying to show that I have read your comment, and decided to leave why I believe we need a Kiwami 3 and then I''ll watch the video to see if you agree. I feel like we need a Kiwami 3, only so that people who were turned off the series because of 3's jankiness can continue the great series.
I'm just tired of this conversation coming up. Remakes of the Kurohyou games, porting Lost Paradise to other systems, and the possibility of a Yakuza style Popeye game. Those would be much more interesting and productive conversations to have
They won't. They will strip out that, bowling, fishing, golf, kiwami 2 the ost again, etc. It'll just be a easier game to get through. Personally I'm really enjoying my 100% run of Y3.
Yakuza 3 is the slice of life of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise. It's the only Yakuza game where Kiryu's truly at peace and that is 3's charm, it's a breath of fresh air (quite literally) for our stoic protagonist. Putting him into scenarios which tears down his rough exterior to show his soft heart. I absolutely adore 3, sure the gameplay is outdated but it still has it's charm that makes it truly unique. Nagoshi you bastard, ya stole my heart with this one
I think most Yakuza games nail the characters. The plot and plot progression can be really bad. I loved Rhikiya so fast but when he died I was just like "....okay" cause I was noticing the pattern of really contrived character deaths to the point where Yasuko's death made me cheer cause I was waiting for Katsuragi to pull out the gun. Why even bother having all the badass moments when Kiryu's just gonna leave the antagonist with a weapon to kill his mates and then not do anything to stop them
Whenever someone mentions how cool the mine fight is I always remember the goofy ass qte where mine hurts his hand on Kiryu's head and Kiryu just dropkicks him.
I mean, it's oddly realistic? Cause your skull is a tough ass nut. Especially the forehead. And Mine hit that shit dead on. He basically punched a Rock full force. But the dropkick was definitely goofy, yes. Kiryu does a whole ass Mario jump in front of Mine.
It's mostly cause of the animation quality to be real, forgetting the dropkick Kiryu does if that whole QTE had Dragon Engine animation quality and impact it'd be sick as hell
If they do kiwami 3, I want more work on the faces and to keep the original feels. I want kiryu to smile like he does in yakuza 3 instead of having a constant angry face like in kiwami 1 and 2. Like, in 3, he's actually happy and calm.
17:04 Just a quick note on Ishin Kiwami, it did replace the original on the PlayStation Store, meaning the only way to play the OG is through a physical copy.
I think the reason Mine and Kiryu jump like that in the intro is because they both wanted to hit opponent's head with their knee and momentum from the run.
@MugdhaMahdiShams of course. Like A Dragon games have always been cost-effective. It's plausible that they could have made it in that time frame given but just barely. You have to keep in mind that if you want the full experience of a Yakuza game, you're basically forking over about 40-60 hours' worth of gameplay. You can't get a major amount of polish, scanning through that amount of content unless it's already been planned and set in motion completely. Even THEN, it's insanely quick.
Yakuza 3 was an incredibly silly game in many ways - and given that we know Kashiwagi survived, the whole scene of a military-grade helicopter gunning him down is incredibly hilarious.
Yakuza 3 is better on the second playthrough. I totally took in Okinawa for what it was meant to be. Beautiful. I hope they do remaster this game and make it what it deserves to be. A masterpiece.
5:03 The taxi points and save locations yes, definitely understand. Though, considering when this originally released, it makes sense and wasn't too big of a deal. This came from RGG1 and 2 off of the PS2, they're actually in the same spot as far as I remember so people coming from there just know to go there. But what changes was the item box being available in the phone booths - it used to be exclusively a save point, and you literally have to go to an item box to store your stuff.
You want a Yakuza Kiwami 3 to fix the janky combat, I want a Yakuza Kiwami 3 because I want to see RGG Studios add a long and unskippable Daigo x Mine makeout cutscene. We are not the same.
I dont mind a Y3, I just think its fine with the remaster that we have. That being said however i do think it would be very cool to see. I just hope to see the combat return( I know people say the combat was clunky but i enjoyed it. Especially the moves you could pull off, and moves to counter the blocking you could do Aswell. I hope they can make a bakance of the two.) Also woukd be cool to see Y3 models be wide again and Doe eyed lol. I dunno it just looks adorable 😄
20:03 damn bro, after your “Why I Love RPGs” video you got me in the mood to replay FF15, now you want me to hop into 16 right after?? A’ight I’ll buy it when it drops on PC
I may be one of the few people here to say this but i actually love Yakuza 3. Even if the graphics and gameplay are “old” when it comepares to the newer games thats what makes me absolutely love it.
I really hope they do it and add some extra flashbacks for Mine to actually show how he met Daigo (taken from the online) and give them a bit more connection than just Mine loredumping at us.
I hope that if we get a kiwami 3 they slightly alter Kashiwagi, Lau Ka Long, and Richardson's deaths so they make a bit more sense as to how they survived
I love alot of story elements from yakuza 3 but the gameplay is just so painful at times. Rikiya is such a bro, The orphanage was so wholeome and Mine is just an awesome villain.
So, I watched the Nintendo Direct and said, "Imagine if the last announcement was Yakuza related." a little bit before the last announcement. I literally screamed in excitement and had some tears in my eyes from seeing Kiwami 1 coming to the Switch. I genuinely wished I recorded that reaction.
Id hope if they add any bonus content it would be that Rikiya would take his shirt off to show his updated tattoo. It was such a let down that you didn’t get to see it in combat in the end
Firstly, good video. Secondly, I don't hate the concept of remaking games. But thirdly, as more time passes I think I'm just tired of constant remakes for games, especially when I just don't think it's necessary. I don't love Yakuza 3 and I don't think it needs one. Yes it has issues, but if you're getting into the franchise, even after playing 0 and the remakes, adjusting to the game even just to see the story continue isn't like pulling teeth. It is still plenty playable and has a lot to offer, it's why it has such a passionate fanbase. What they do to remake it, will inevitably lose what made it what it is. Games are absolutely a product of when they release and I think more people should be more willing to accept that than just continue to beg for remakes. At some point we will get far enough where people will want a remake of a remake just because they like the current style more. Which sounds ridiculous to me. Tl;dr: Games can be old and we can see if the design holds up over time and the games that do are what separates the men from the boys. And gamers should be more willing to go through a process. Primarily ones that go out of their way to discuss games online. And the thought of Yakuza 0 getting a remake made me physically recoil, but it was a good bit.
I personally really like Yakuza 3. It's not the strongest in the series but I really enjoy it nonetheless. I really like that Kiryu tries to leave his Yakuza past behind and to see that he just wants to live a normal life with the kids. He also seems so much happier in Yakuza 3, especially in comparison to Yakuza 5 where he is most of the time sad and wishes to return to his past life. I think for his character development Yakuza 3 is probably the strongest and most important game. Most problems, like the blocking and few moves at the start, could probably easily be fixed in Kiwami 3. The biggest problem is probably that you play it directly after Kiwami 2, which is one of the latest in terms of graphics and gameplay.
I am one of those 3 fans and can confirm even to this day 3 has a very special place in my heart and if I’m thinking about my favourite games in the series this one always bubbles to the surface before my logical brain takes over Yakuza - like a dragon has been such a high point for me In what is often a really depressing climate for video games seeing this series rise to become such a hugely recognised thing that bumps out high quality games regularly and I know longer need to worry about them being localised is something special to me. In conclusion Kiwami 3 yes please
Kiwami 3 but the combat is similar to Gaiden's with the Legend Remix mod. I and a lot of other people would be very happy. SnowiestAngeman should make a video about Triple AAA and his Yakuza combat mods, they're so good. And imo he knows the ins and outs of each game and great game designs more than RGG themselves.
I don't think I would want to see Kiwami 3 over literally anything else, but especially Kenzan. Kiwami 1 and 2 make sense to me, because those were games that were stuck in the PS2 graphics era and using Kiryu's old face. But it seems redundant to actually remake any of the games that got remasters. To me those games look and play good enough as they are. Ishin gets a pass because of its lack of a localization, and Kenzan would get the same pass.
Playing Kiwami 2 and then playing the remaster of 3 right afterward felt jarring to me. It felt so clunky and restrictive and I couldn't stop comparing the two of them
@@MrGrimlocke that’s a slippery slope though. If they do Kiwami 3 then people are gonna complain that 4 wasn’t remade too since it looks so similar, then that’ll get remade, then people will complain about how 5 looks, and then 0 and so on and so forth. Basically what I’m saying is I’m fucking tired of remakes. Just accept that old janky games exist.
"If you can't criticize something you love, you don't love it at all."? YOU HEAR THAT, EVERYONE!!? SNOWIESTANGEMAN LIKES FIST OF THE NORTH STAR: LOST PARADISE!! HE'S FINALLY COMING AROUND!! Today, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. Tomorrow..... ..The Bouncer.....!
The best reason why kiwami 3 needs a remake: cabaret club minigame. The thing that disappointed me even more than the combat was the carabet club minigame, i saw it and thought "omg so this is where 0 got it from" but i was so, so wrong.
God this franchise has very quickly become like my top 3 game franchises. I hope they never stop making these games. It’s been a while since I’ve played a game where it’s like hey let’s just have fun.
As someone currently going through 3, I really wish it could've been a full remake. So far I'm liking the story a lot, but getting to the story bits means I need to play the game, and that's the most paunful part.
Great video. When I was going through the series for the first time, being introduced with Y0 - Y3 felt "clunky" but not really in this horrible, unplayable way. But every improvement you mentioned would be so worthwhile. I don't really want to go back to it until there are QOL fixes. I haven't sussed out any mods for the game yet either though, so I'd imagine maybe elements of the gameplay and engine has been fixed a bit by fans already. "Akiyama Kiwami" would rule and would immediately sell more copies among hardcore fans, for sure.
I love Y3. The orphanage stuff that people seem to dislike? I don’t get it, I think it’s one of the best parts of the whole series! Just chillin’ with Kiryu and his orphans. It’s beautiful!
It's still one of my favorite Yakuza games. I'm not a remaster/remake kinda guy, but if they add new content (even if it's just substories) I'll buy it.
Im really curious on what the new movesets they cook up for bosses like Joji, andre, and Mine will be like. They've reused those movesets so much in this series that you still see them in games like LJ or Gaiden. Imagine they give Mine multiple styles to match with his different heat auras? They can really go for that Evil Kiryu mirror by doing that too. Imagine all of the *new* cool dynamic intros the game could have, like imagine the intros for Joji, Lau ka long, And imagine the redone or added action sequences, it could all look and feel so much better than OG three. And of course, fuel the modders of the community
Once Kiwami 3 comes out, slowly but surely Yakuza 4 will turn into what Yakuza 3 is now in terms of it being the black sheep of the franchise and eventually people will ask for a Kiwami 4
Yakuza 4 is leagues ahead of 3, crazy how there's only a year between the 2 entries. It's so much more polished and fun, that it would benefit much less from a remake. Not to mention the biggest issue there is the story, they won't rewrite that.
And then after 4 Kiwami, Yakuza 5 will be too dated. It's a continuous cycle, which is why I don't join the people who constantly say "YOU NEED TO REMAKE X GAME". How bout' we just make new games???
@@Maloolz Given how the new games turned out and the general direction for the series maybe it's better to remake old games/entries in this case than create new ones. But I agree, we need more new original titles, it's remasters/remakes and sequels all over.
@@sillysalad0Tbh it kinda does. It’s not as bad as 3, but it’s infinitely more obnoxious than 5. If 3 got remade I could easily see people railing on 4 more.
Funny thing about Yakuza 3 was when I got it I had no idea there was a 2nd for what ever reason. I remember getting the first one because I got a demo to it before it came out at a gamestop that was near where I lived at the time. Eventually got around to playing 2 when Kiwami 2 came out. 3 was a pretty good game even thou if memory serves had a lot of content cut out of the western version.
This is automatically the greatest ever video of yours because you used the best karaoke song of the series, “Saturday Night Lover”. The actual Interesting and factual content be damned!
SobI started playing all yakuza games chronologically this year and I'm now playing 3. And I feel I feel like if kiwami 3 was a thing I'd enjoy it much more
I understand why people don’t like Receive and Stab You, but I love how creepy and chugging it is. It’s fitting since Majima is finally taking these fights seriously and going all out against Kiryu.
Would I take a good remake of Yakuza 3? Sure! Would I take a yakuza 3 that gets the Kiwami 2 treatement? I'd rather they use the money for something else, thank you. Like porting the PSP games.
17:24 Another SEGA example would be Sonic Generations. With their new Sonic Generations remaster, they are delisting the original game, but you can still buy it via bundles (at least on steam idk about the other platforms)
Another example would be SEGA delisting Sonic games before Origins or Atlus delisting SMTV and all of its DLC before Vengeance. I wouldn't say it is 50/50 but we can't trust publishers not to delist the original game before release, manipulate prices to bait purchases or remove it without no notice at all (Devil May Cry 4 on PC/Steam from Capcom).
As someone who steamrolled through 0 then Kiwami 1 & 2 but was stopped in my tracks halfway through 3 because of jank I would ABSOLUTELY want a Kiwami 3.
I'll never understand the desire to want devs wasting time on a remake of a game that's still perfectly playable(seriously man I played Y3 after 0, K1, and K2 and I still think that game bangs). I'm still sitting here wanting a bare minimum port of Yakuza 1 and 2 HD.
As someone who started with 0 and then played kiwami 1 (currently on kiwami 2) i reallly hope they do this. Going from a much more polished yakuza game to this would be roooough. As it stands I’ll probably watch a video of the story. I have too big a backlog to spend too much time on a clunky game with outdated visuals. But I know the story is good, so a recap video for me until kiwami 3 if we ever get it.
honestly could have split this video down into sections, with a camera facing directly towards you with a text box underneath saying "What should I ask about?" with a selection box of four options for the different sections of the video
I know people will see the title and thumbnail and will decide to comment before watching even the first 10 seconds of the video and to those people: Throughout this video I explain why a great game deserves to become amazing. I say how Yakuza 3 is unfortunately met with some high expectations compared to later games, but I also say how that doesn't at all prevent the game from still being fun. Not at any point throughout this entire video do I say something like "Yakuza 3 sucks dick". No. Not at all. Not even remotely.
I promise.
Nah, you are good. FFXVI is peak.
Just needed to state how the combat is almost the peak of the franchise
Pretty much like the Sakura Wars franchise, Yakuza hardly had any bad games like at all.

If they make Kiwami 3, they better keep the extremely bloody faces of goons you beat up.
Real, it made fights so much more brutal
They probably won't
There'll be a mod.
They won't. They will strip out that, bowling, fishing, golf, kiwami 2 the ost again, etc.
It'll just be a easier game to get through. Personally I'm really enjoying my 100% run of Y3.
They legit look so fucked up, as they should
Kiwami 3 so I can see that one Kanda QTE in Dragon Engine quality
Imagine the remake just turns into the old Y3 version only in that part
@@pato6738I’d be fine with it tbh, that scene is absolutely essential to the plot
would be UNPLAYABLE if they removed that in Kiwami 3
they will definitely censor that just like in ishin

Yakuza - like a dragon has been such a high point for me In what is often a really depressing climate for video games seeing this series rise to become such a hugely recognised thing that bumps out high quality games regularly and I know longer need to worry about them being localised is something special to me.
In conclusion Kiwami 3 yes please
You’re so fucking legendary for the way you described Final Fantasy XVI, brilliant game.
Kiwami 3 but the combat is similar to Gaiden's with the Legend Remix mod. I and a lot of other people would be very happy.
SnowiestAngeman should make a video about Triple AAA and his Yakuza combat mods, they're so good. And imo he knows the ins and outs of each game and great game designs more than RGG themselves.
I don't think I would want to see Kiwami 3 over literally anything else, but especially Kenzan. Kiwami 1 and 2 make sense to me, because those were games that were stuck in the PS2 graphics era and using Kiryu's old face. But it seems redundant to actually remake any of the games that got remasters. To me those games look and play good enough as they are. Ishin gets a pass because of its lack of a localization, and Kenzan would get the same pass.
Playing Kiwami 2 and then playing the remaster of 3 right afterward felt jarring to me. It felt so clunky and restrictive and I couldn't stop comparing the two of them
@@MrGrimlocke EXACTLY
@@MrGrimlocke that’s a slippery slope though. If they do Kiwami 3 then people are gonna complain that 4 wasn’t remade too since it looks so similar, then that’ll get remade, then people will complain about how 5 looks, and then 0 and so on and so forth.
Basically what I’m saying is I’m fucking tired of remakes. Just accept that old janky games exist.
@@SaberRexZealot That's my thought too. I also felt this way when they were remaking Pokemon games left and right.
@@MrGrimlocke kiwami 2 itself is clunky and restrictive coming from kiwami
y3 with Gaiden style combat and LJ juggling would go so hard
"If you can't criticize something you love, you don't love it at all."?
YOU HEAR THAT, EVERYONE!!? SNOWIESTANGEMAN LIKES FIST OF THE NORTH STAR: LOST PARADISE!! HE'S FINALLY COMING AROUND!!
Today, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise. Tomorrow.....
..The Bouncer.....!
1:07 this guy's comedic timing is just insane.
7:19 Thank you. Someone is finally bringing that up
i don't care what ppl say abt mine's dynamic intro, it's still looks fire asf
I'd love to play Yakuza 0 Kiwami and have the 'Kuze everywhere' system they secretly announced a couple weeks back on a friday night
This is a very good video and basically sums up how I feel about Yakuza 3, Gold star :)
The best reason why kiwami 3 needs a remake: cabaret club minigame. The thing that disappointed me even more than the combat was the carabet club minigame, i saw it and thought "omg so this is where 0 got it from" but i was so, so wrong.
I love yakuza 3 it’s one of my favorites but yeah it definitely feels clunky at times so i would personally love a kiwami version of it
I'm that person who's gonna download "Y3 Original ost mod"
Because I have a bias on Y3 ost
But thanks for the great vid
I personally believe that a Yakuza 0 Kiwami would be redundant. It's already perfect...
Imagine the quality of life changes tho...
@@spongehub8246 True! The potential has been mostly realized. _Mostly._
@@courier6640 agreed it's still goated despite the old engine
SEGA sees your Kiwami 3 and raises you Kiwami 1 on Switch
God this franchise has very quickly become like my top 3 game franchises. I hope they never stop making these games. It’s been a while since I’ve played a game where it’s like hey let’s just have fun.
You had me at playable Mine.
As someone currently going through 3, I really wish it could've been a full remake. So far I'm liking the story a lot, but getting to the story bits means I need to play the game, and that's the most paunful part.
Great video. When I was going through the series for the first time, being introduced with Y0 - Y3 felt "clunky" but not really in this horrible, unplayable way. But every improvement you mentioned would be so worthwhile. I don't really want to go back to it until there are QOL fixes. I haven't sussed out any mods for the game yet either though, so I'd imagine maybe elements of the gameplay and engine has been fixed a bit by fans already.
"Akiyama Kiwami" would rule and would immediately sell more copies among hardcore fans, for sure.
I love Y3. The orphanage stuff that people seem to dislike? I don’t get it, I think it’s one of the best parts of the whole series! Just chillin’ with Kiryu and his orphans. It’s beautiful!
That said... Masterpiece
👍👍👍
Bruh 11:33 to 11:43 gave me goosebumps. Yakuza really did come from a long way
It's still one of my favorite Yakuza games. I'm not a remaster/remake kinda guy, but if they add new content (even if it's just substories) I'll buy it.
I just started playing Yakuza 3 for a second time and you drop a banger 🔥🔥🔥
Huh. Me too 😁
Im really curious on what the new movesets they cook up for bosses like Joji, andre, and Mine will be like.
They've reused those movesets so much in this series that you still see them in games like LJ or Gaiden.
Imagine they give Mine multiple styles to match with his different heat auras? They can really go for that Evil Kiryu mirror by doing that too.
Imagine all of the *new* cool dynamic intros the game could have, like imagine the intros for Joji, Lau ka long,
And imagine the redone or added action sequences, it could all look and feel so much better than OG three.
And of course, fuel the modders of the community
Essence of ass crush is so funny looking. He BARELY pushed him
Once Kiwami 3 comes out, slowly but surely Yakuza 4 will turn into what Yakuza 3 is now in terms of it being the black sheep of the franchise and eventually people will ask for a Kiwami 4
would it though, because 4 doesnt suffer the same gameplay problems that 3 has that people are upset about
Yakuza 4 is leagues ahead of 3, crazy how there's only a year between the 2 entries. It's so much more polished and fun, that it would benefit much less from a remake. Not to mention the biggest issue there is the story, they won't rewrite that.
And then after 4 Kiwami, Yakuza 5 will be too dated.
It's a continuous cycle, which is why I don't join the people who constantly say "YOU NEED TO REMAKE X GAME".
How bout' we just make new games???
@@Maloolz Given how the new games turned out and the general direction for the series maybe it's better to remake old games/entries in this case than create new ones.
But I agree, we need more new original titles, it's remasters/remakes and sequels all over.
@@sillysalad0Tbh it kinda does. It’s not as bad as 3, but it’s infinitely more obnoxious than 5. If 3 got remade I could easily see people railing on 4 more.
Funny thing about Yakuza 3 was when I got it I had no idea there was a 2nd for what ever reason. I remember getting the first one because I got a demo to it before it came out at a gamestop that was near where I lived at the time. Eventually got around to playing 2 when Kiwami 2 came out. 3 was a pretty good game even thou if memory serves had a lot of content cut out of the western version.
This is automatically the greatest ever video of yours because you used the best karaoke song of the series, “Saturday Night Lover”. The actual Interesting and factual content be damned!
SobI started playing all yakuza games chronologically this year and I'm now playing 3. And I feel I feel like if kiwami 3 was a thing I'd enjoy it much more
If Chihiro Aoki ever remixes both Fly and Bruise they might as well just hand her Soundtrack of the Year
Little did he know we would not be getting Yakuza 3 Kawami. We would instead be getting a pirate Majima game
I understand why people don’t like Receive and Stab You, but I love how creepy and chugging it is. It’s fitting since Majima is finally taking these fights seriously and going all out against Kiryu.
Would I take a good remake of Yakuza 3?
Sure!
Would I take a yakuza 3 that gets the Kiwami 2 treatement?
I'd rather they use the money for something else, thank you.
Like porting the PSP games.
17:24 Another SEGA example would be Sonic Generations. With their new Sonic Generations remaster, they are delisting the original game, but you can still buy it via bundles (at least on steam idk about the other platforms)
Another example would be SEGA delisting Sonic games before Origins or Atlus delisting SMTV and all of its DLC before Vengeance.
I wouldn't say it is 50/50 but we can't trust publishers not to delist the original game before release, manipulate prices to bait purchases or remove it without no notice at all (Devil May Cry 4 on PC/Steam from Capcom).
As someone who steamrolled through 0 then Kiwami 1 & 2 but was stopped in my tracks halfway through 3 because of jank I would ABSOLUTELY want a Kiwami 3.
Yakiza 3 was the game that made me a fan of the series! Hopefully it gets the love it deserves some day ^_^
Snowy you are the best yakuza creator dont forget bro
👍👍👍
WE NEED LIKE A DRAGON KENZAN! 🐉
Yakuza has my favorite boss theme. Plus it had some funny reoccurring substory characters 😂😂
I think there’s a good chance it’s happening. The RGG Facebook page is posting ALOT of Yakuza 3 images after announcing the Summit on the 20th
Nice Persona 3R name, Tatsuo
👍👍👍
I'll never understand the desire to want devs wasting time on a remake of a game that's still perfectly playable(seriously man I played Y3 after 0, K1, and K2 and I still think that game bangs). I'm still sitting here wanting a bare minimum port of Yakuza 1 and 2 HD.
You watched the whole video and you still don’t understand why people want a Kiwami 3?
As someone who started with 0 and then played kiwami 1 (currently on kiwami 2) i reallly hope they do this.
Going from a much more polished yakuza game to this would be roooough.
As it stands I’ll probably watch a video of the story. I have too big a backlog to spend too much time on a clunky game with outdated visuals. But I know the story is good, so a recap video for me until kiwami 3 if we ever get it.
honestly could have split this video down into sections, with a camera facing directly towards you with a text box underneath saying "What should I ask about?" with a selection box of four options for the different sections of the video
