Batting Cages
Another mainstay of the Yakuza series is batting cages, and they make a return in Yakuza 6 right where they’ve always been in the Hotel District. This minigame is a bit changed from past ones, however. The goal of batting cages in Yakuza 5 was mainly to hit home runs, and you were given hit areas on each of the four face buttons that let you hit incoming balls.
This time the ball’s location is displayed on a grid, and as the pitcher throws it that location might shift a little bit. You need to line your ball cursor up where the ball icon is on the grid and hit X in order to hit it. You also have two different training courses, Home Run and Challenge. Home Run is just what it sounds like requiring you to hit home runs, while the Challenge course just wants you to hit a certain number of runs.
