you go plow the field boy

I have. But you're getting no plowing.

Real Kamurocho is even more beautiful.

Until you are hounded by bunch of black people on Pink Street as a foreigner.

What's there to see besides prostitution?

Nightlife there isn't just about prostitution, there's plenty of great bars. Obviously if you are looking for some run-of-a-mill touristy stuff, you won't find it there.

They are currently developing a new Super Monkey Ball

I finished Like a Dragon this week - the game was cool, I had fun and liked some ideas (especially characters moving around and interacting with environment during battles), but ultimately felt like the jRPG structure wasn't as fun to play as the beat em ups. I'm a relatively new joiner, popped my cherry with Zero, followed up with Ishin! (which, I think, I liked the most across these three games) and am wondering what to pick up next. Since there's quite a backlog, and I don't have as much time as I'd like, playing remakes according to release order might be difficult for me. What is the KKK on the best installments?

best installments?

Kiwami 1 is still my favorite (remake of the original). It has a more refined version of the style switching from Zero, still the best single story in the series, and pleasantly challenging. Kiwami 2 was too easy, and Y5 was too slow paced (but it has 5 playable characters), and the original ps2 games are really clunky. Y6 I enjoyed purely for the 'Dad' aspects but it's also way too easy.

If it's all the same to you, try Judgment.
There's a new protagonist, but the gameplay loop is pretty much the same and it takes place in Kamurocho.
What makes it stand apart is a decent plot. One of the best in all Yakuzas in my opinion.
