SEGA is set to relaunch classic titles through its upcoming release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 on PS5 and PS4. This installment introduces retro arcade games alongside its main storyline featuring Kazuma Kiryu and a new side story involving Yoshitaka Mine.
Retro Arcade Games Included in Yakuza Kiwami 3
Yakuza Kiwami 3 will feature several classic arcade games, enhancing the retro experience for players. Notably, the addition of three titles stands out:
- Emergency Call Ambulance

About Magical Truck Adventure
Originally released in 1998, Magical Truck Adventure offers a unique co-op gameplay experience. Players control two characters, Roy and Alma, as they navigate a hand-operated rail cart. Players must pump a lever to accelerate through quirky stages while using a foot pedal to jump and dodge. The game will utilize the DualSense controller’s analogue sticks, allowing solo play.
Game Gear Classics Included
The remake will also feature a selection of Game Gear titles, previously unplayed on modern consoles. The games are equipped with modern features like rewind capabilities, enhancing their nostalgia for longtime fans.
- Columns
- Fantasy Zone Gear
- Galaga 2
- G-LOC: Air Battle
- Mappy
- Pac-Man
- Puzlow Kids
- Sonic Chaos
- Sonic Drift

Player Reactions and Future Expectations
While the inclusion of these retro games is exciting, some fans express frustration. Many players wish SEGA would make these classic titles available independently of the Yakuza franchise. There is a growing sentiment that a comprehensive compilation of SEGA’s iconic games, from the Master System to the Dreamcast, would be highly welcomed.
As Yakuza Kiwami 3 approaches its release, anticipation builds among fans eager to revisit these timeless classics within a contemporary gaming framework.
