The developers of Yakuza Kiwami confirmed that the game will be a digital-only release, which may be disappointing for fans who want a physical version. Like a Dragon fans got a very big surprise during the August 2024 Nintendo Direct, where it was revealed that Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's Yakuza Kiwami would be coming to Nintendo Switch. Yakuza Kiwami is the 2016 remake of the first game in the long-running series, developed as a part of the Like a Dragon franchise's 10th anniversary.
Yakuza Kiwami coming to the Nintendo Switch eight years after it first launched was a big shock, as while it originally released on PlayStation 3 and 4, and then later came to PC and Xbox One a few years later, it seemed like there were no plans for a port on Nintendo's systems. Many fans had wanted Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to bring the games to Switch for the longest time, which seemed like a pipe dream until now. Fans may want to temper their expectations a little bit, as the developers have confirmed that Yakuza Kiwami's Switch version will not have a physical release.
