TheYakuzaseries is well known for its spectacular brawler-style combat system and gripping storyline. But that’s not all the series is about. What makes the Yakuzagames really stand out from others isthe sheer absurdity they offer. This is seen in the wonderfully weird side quests and mini-games available to the player as they tag along with Kiryu to explore the Japanese nightlife ofTokyo.Yakuza 6: The Song Of Lifebrings back all the fan-favorite mini-games and more!

The world ofYakuza 6isdivided into two cities,KamurochoandOnomichi.And these are the mini-games that one can find scattered throughout them.
KAMUROCHO
The majority of Yakuzagames take place here, includingYakuza6. Following are the mini-games that can be found here.
Karaoke
Yakuza 6 brings back the fan-favorite mini-game that iskaraoke. Visit the nearby Karaoke place-Karaokekan-and make Kiryu sing in his ever so deep and soulful voice through the use of timed button presses. Players can unlock up to 6 songs by completing each of the previous ones with a good grade. Players can fulfill their wish to sing old Japanese songs through Kiryu.
Batting
Batting cages inYakuza 6are quite different from the actual baseball matches present in the game. Kiryu can visit theYoshida Batting Centerto hone his batting skills. This is a great way to practice before baseball matches. Moreover, there is an option between the home-run or challenger courses. So why not hit some balls when you’re bored of hitting people?

Chat Rooms
Feel like flirting with the ladies? Live chat is a mini-game inYakuza 6where you can do exactly that. Head toMantai Internet Cafe (Theater Square /Nakamichi St. /Senryo Ave.)where Kiryu will find 2 beautiful women waiting online. Being regular with either one of them will reward Kiryu with some very steamy scenes. To top it all off, the live chat is hilarious.
Club Sega

Nyan Nyan Cafe
Throughout his journey in Tokyo, Kiryu may encounter stray cats. Interacting with the cat “saves” them and brings them to shelter at theNyan Nyan Cafe.It can be found aroundSoutheast Kamurocho.Upon visiting the cafe Kiryu is greeted by the cats he saved. He can pet them and feed them. Beware the cats can get quite picky and don’t eat each and everything he gives them. There are in total 19 Cats spread throughout the game.Gotta save ‘em all!
Gym
This should be a fairly popular place as it is home to the game’s most premium health items. Instead of getting health items, feel like busting up those muscles even more? Hit up theRizap Gym.Kiryu can either use the machines or do a training course. After each training, Kiryu gets a mission to eat a certain type of dish. Gotta get that protein. The gym is located inwest-central Kamurocho.
Darts
In the mood to play some darts? After you’re done playing video games atClub Sega Theater Square, Bantamhead toDartslive.Here Kiryu can compete against other opponents who get stronger as he keeps beating them. Start from playing against some amateurs and slowly reach the pros. You thought you’ll get easy-going darts in a bar? This is the most competitive dart session out there.
Mahjong
Mahjong is a complicated board game. To enjoy this mini-game one should actually know how to play Mahjong. Kiryu can join tournaments and face stronger opponents. Take him to any of the Mahjong Parlors(Lullaby Mahjong and Modern Mahjong).One is in west Kamuroucho and the other one is in the east.
ONOMICHI
Onomichi is the second city accessible inYakuza6. There are some pretty good mini-games here as well.
