Yakuza 6 (PS4)

Yakuza 6 was the big game announced by SEGA at last year’s Tokyo Game Show 2015, two big related announcements was that it will be Playstation 4 only and that famous Japanese actor Takeshi Kitano (aka Beat Takeshi) would have a character in this game. The game’s full title is Yakuza 6: Inochi no Uta which translates to “Poetry of Life”. For those wondering if this is the end of the road for series star Kazuma, the trailer carries the message “The final chapter of the legend of Kazuma Kiryu.” It is unknown if this means the franchise will debut a new hero in subsequent games, or if SEGA plans to put the franchise to rest after this game. Though given how reliant SEGA of Japan are on the franchise, a new hero or more prequel titles like Yakuza 0 are probably more likely.

Yakuza 6 will have also Puyo Puyo and Virtua Fighter 5 included as among the variety of minigames and SEGA arcade games included, plus the varies other activities you can play, including karaoke, darts, and mahjong.

Yeah, I'm expecting more score too since 8/8/8/8 is the same score as archives volume 2.
Girl’s Garden also has the smooth scrolling option which make the gameplay's more fun.
May be because those two games need the prequel archives to be unlocked? I wonder.

Yakuza 0 (PS4)

Yakuza 0 takes place in December of 1988; which is 17 years before the events that happen in the first Yakuza game. The story follows Kazuma Kiryu as a junior yakuza member who finds himself in a heap of trouble when a simple debt collection goes upside down and his mark ends up murdered. Meanwhile, Goro Majima is living a "normal" life as the proprieter of a cabaret club, but is doing whatever it takes to rejoin the yakuza. What that entails isn't exactly easy.
