Kazuma Kiryu Enters the Super Monkey Ball Franchise
You would think that the Gritty-yet-Eccentric Yakuza series wouldn't mix well with SEGA's long-running Super Monkey Ball franchise, but I guess they do. SEGA has announced that Kiryu Kazuma, the famed and fearsome protagonist from the Yakuza franchise, will be appearing as a playable character in Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Kiryu Kazuma will be free and unlockable on all platforms when Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania launches on 5 October 2021.
