The former is slightly smaller than its OG Switch counterpart, which came in at <strong>22.9GB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we already have a view of how large <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/yakuza-kiwami-3-and-dark-ties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yakuza Kiwami 3 &amp; Dark Ties<\/a> will be when it launches on <strong>12th February 2026<\/strong>. This will be the largest yet at <strong>46GB<\/strong>, which isn&#8217;t entirely surprising considering it&#8217;ll be utilising the latest Dragon Engine technology alongside a substantial slice of brand-new content.<\/p>\n<p>Kiwami 2 also made use of the Dragon Engine, and was the first remake to do so after the technology was introduced in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps4\/yakuza_6_the_song_of_life\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yakuza 6: The Song of Life<\/a> in 2016. So expect slightly fancier visuals with this one on Switch 2 when compared to Yakuza 0 and Kiwami.<\/p>\n<p>Kiwami and Kiwami 2 will both launch on <strong>13th November 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be picking up Kiwami and Kiwami 2 on Switch 2? What about Kiwami 3? How many times do you think we can say Kiwami?
