Famitsu has revealed more information regarding Yakuza 6, and it includes some interesting information regarding the activities that you’ll be able to experience in the game’s “Play Spots”. Thanks to the translation from Gematsu, we’ve now learned that both Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown and Puyo Puyo will be playable, and they’ll both feature a two-player mode. This also means that SEGA have in fact ported Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown to PS4, so it’s reasonable to think SEGA might end up releasing the game separately as well (and who knows, perhaps this also paves the way for a PC version). In addition, the arcade classics Outrun, Super Hang-On, Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone will also be playable.
SEGA has uploaded an extended version of their earlier Puyo Puyo Chronicle trailer. The first half of the video is the same as before, but the latter half shows the game’s battle system in more detail/ After encountering enemies in the 3D world, the game transitions to the traditional Puyo Puyo gameplay, with the top screen showing the enemy and its health bar, and the bottom the Puyo Puyo puzzle screen and your party. As shown in the video, your characters can launch a special attack if you find yourself in trouble. The game offers 17 popular rule sets from previous games, including those from Tsu and Fever, and will also support player-vs-player battles.
