All Infinite Wealth Minigames & Locations
Arcade Games
There area few Arcades inInfinite Wealth’sexplorable areas of Japan and Hawaii, and some Arcade Machines can be found outside of dedicated Arcades. The vast majority of activities in an Arcade are essentially emulations of older SEGA titles. InInfinite Wealth, this includesVirtua Fighter 3tb,SEGA Bass Fishing, andSpikeOut. There are also claw machines that reward prizes for Aloha Links friends and party members.
Batting Cages
A staple of theYakuzaandLike a Dragonseries, Batting Cages lets our protagonists let off some steam by slamming sluggers. InInfinite WealthBatting Cages can be found in the same place as inYakuza: Like a Dragon, on the west side of Hamakita Park. you’re able to earn points for participating in the Batting Cages, which can be exchanged for various prizes.
Casino Games
The Casino games included inInfinite Wealthinclude a number of franchise classics, including Blackjack and regular Poker. You can bet money here and win more back, if you’re a good player, but it’s far from the best money-making method in the game.
Can Quest
Brought back from its predecessor, Can Quest is a minigame that begins just outside the Homeless Camp in Isezaki Ijincho. Like Crazy Delivery, Can Quest sees the player jump onto a bike to take to the streets, though instead of making deliveries, you’re collecting Cans to recycle and turn in for petty change. It’s not a great way to make money, but Kiryu can take on Can Quest in Chapter 8.
Crazy Delivery
Crazy Delivery, along with DonDoko Island, is one of the major new minigames added inInfinite Wealth. A take on the SEGA classicCrazy Taxi, Crazy Delivery sees Ichiban deliver food all over Honolulu for tips. Do tricks, collect and deliver food within the time limit, and score Points to spend on Crazy Delivery-exclusive items (including DonDoko recipes).
Driving Range
Anotherstaple of theYakuzaandLike a Dragonseries, the Driving Range returns inInfinite Wealthjust as fans remember it from previous titles. The Driving Range – called Heaven’s Golf – can be found in Isezaki Ijincho and offers a similar Points system as the Batting Cages, with its own unique items, for good golfers to earn.
Darts
Darts is a simple minigame, but a minigame nonetheless. Found in a few bars across Hawaii and Japan,Infinite WealthDarts works just the same as other titles – the cursor will sway across teh screen, and the player has to select the right time to throw their Dart. By participating in Darts, players can improve their Bonds with party members.
Dondoko Island
Arguably the biggest addition to aYakuzaorLike a Dragongame in a long time, DonDoko island is essentially a fully-fledged island management simulator that parodiesAnimal Crossinggameplay systems. In Chapter 6, Ichiban will find himself on DonDoko Island, and is charged to restore it to its former glory as a five-star resort island.
DonDoko island is an enormous game within a game, and it’s a bit of a stretch to just call it a minigame. Be prepared to spend dozens of hours harvesting resources, building new furnishings and projects, and making money on DonDoko island.
Dolls & Devils Playhouse/Lin Lin Hostess Bar
At Cabaret Clubs, like the Dolls and Devils Playhouse in Honolulu or the Lin Lin Hostess Bar in Isezaki Ijincho, players can treat their party members to a luxurious night out on the town, as it were. Choose girls for your party members, select the right meal combinations, and maximize Bonds with these relatively expensive outings. It’s less of a minigame, and more of a mini management sim.
Fishing
Fishing inInfinite Wealthcan be useful for a lot of things inInfinite Wealth, including getting resources for the Bartender to use, food to consume, and other crafting materials that can be useful for improving gear. Find a fisherman in Honolulu, ask them to borrow their rod for a buck, and get prepared to reel it in when it bites.
Gambling Hall Games
The Gambling Hall makes acomeback inInfinite Wealthtoo, and can be found in the same place it was located inYakuza: Like a Dragon. Head north from the homeless camp in Isezaki Ijincho to find a ladder leading down into the river area – a few games of chance can be played here, including Koi-koi and Oicho-kabu.
Karaoke
Arguably the most iconic minigame of the franchise thanks to the memeability of “Baka Mitai,“Karaoke is back inInfinite Wealthwith a ton of songs available at Revolve and Survive Bars in Honolulu and Isezaki Ijincho respectively. The game has 10 total party members, each of whom has at least one song. In this entry, too, doing Karaoke at Revolve will increase your relationship with the Bartender, who can make better products with a higher Bond level.
Mahjong
Mahjong is a game that’s not as complex as it seems to learn, and inInfinite Wealth, it’s not a bad way to earn some money – if you may afford the entry fee, that is. There are a handful of Mahjong parlors inInfinite Wealth, and cash rewards for doing well in tournaments.
Miss Match
Anothernew feature inInfinite Wealthis the Miss Match minigame. This minigame sees Ichiban try to develop his skills with women via the Miss Match dating app, which he gets enrolled in for free. by Miss Match herself. It’s a totally unique minigame that’s worth exploring, and Ichiban can get some Personality boosts out of it, too.
m HOLD’EM Poker
A version of Texas Hold’em Poker, m HOLD’EM Poker can be played in Isezaki Ijincho only. It’s in the same spot as inYakuza: Like a Dragon, and costs 10,000 Yen ($1,000) to buy enough tokens to begin.
Ounabara Vocational School
A beloved part ofYakuza: Like a Dragonwas undoubtedlythe Ounabara Vocational School, where Ichiban could take tests to improve his Personality. It’s back inInfinite Wealthin the southwest of Honolulu, and there’s some familiar faces to catch up with. The school operates the same way, offering Certifications for passing various tests, but you need to pay for each test every time you take it.
Shogi
Shogi is like Japanese Chess, and has come back fromYakuza: Like a Dragonin Honolulu, as well as in its original location in Isezaki Ijincho. Shogi is relatively easy to learn, but hard to master, and the puzzle modes ofInfinite Wealthcan keep you coming back for more.
Sicko Snap
Infinite Wealthalready parodiesPokemonwith the Sujimon system, so why not parodyPokemon Snap!as well? Sicko Snap is an activity Ichiban can take part in while in Honolulu which lets him snap photos of local “sickos” while riding a Trolley. It’s definitely a bit out there, but the Snap Points you get, and prizes that can be earned, make it a minigame worth following through.
Sujimon Battles
IndeedSujimon are back inInfinite Wealth, and unlike its predecessor,Infinite WealthSujimon can actually battle. There’s a whole Sujimon League, headed by the Discrete Four, that challenges its members to become the very best Sujimon master by using their team of Sujimon to defeat other Trainers. It’s a ridiculous system, and extremely engaging, to the point that you might lose hours of time just training and battling Sujimon instead of following the main story.
