Soapbox Judgment and the Yakuza Series Are the Undisputed Kings of Minigames

Kamurocho's true calling

If you've played a Yakuza game, then you already know how good the side activities are.

TGS 2017 Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Nabs Another Questionable Side Activity

Say cheese

The Yakuza series is no stranger to, er, somewhat questionable side activities. Yakuza 0, for example, introduced a minigame in which you watch scantily clad women wrestle in an underground area and place bets on who you think will come out on top.
