How to get Beautiful Seashells in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Initially armed with his trusty bat from the first game, Ichiban will eventually need to upgrade and craft stronger weaponry to keep up with the gangs and goons populating Hawaii in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Just like in the previous title, a vendor will appear who is more than willing to improve or create gear in exchange for a bit of money and a handful of materials. At first, you won’t have much trouble keeping pace with the game as long as you pick up whatever shiny objects catch your eye as you traipse down the streets. Despite sounding like something you could snag while strolling on the beach, Beautiful Seashells are rather hard to come by naturally. If these attractive shells are what stands between you and a stronger weapon, here’s where you can get some.

Where to get Beautiful Seashells

Outside of getting lucky and having a few Beautiful Seashells drop during battles, typically with higher-level enemies or bosses, you only have one reliable source for stocking up on them. During the main story, you will be brought to and introduced to the labyrinth, a randomly generated dungeon you can grind for levels, cash, and items to test out how strong your party is in the late game. As you go, you will collect Robo Discs that you can exchange with RoboMichio right outside the entrance. Among his large stock of items are Beautiful Seashells, which he sells for 500 discs each. That’s not the most expensive item he has on offer, but it is a pretty high price, so it may take a run or two to get that many if you’re low-level.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

Yes, you read that headline correctly. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the next entry in the ongoing Like a Dragon (formerly Yakuza) franchise, is taking the series into uncharted waters. This might sound like a quick turnaround for an entirely new game considering that the last game, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, only came out at the beginning of 2024, but game developer Ryu Ga Gotoku is almost terrifyingly efficient in developing massive games on a near-yearly basis. But this game is not going to follow our old friend Ichiban, nor will it continue being a turn-based RPG. There are a lot of treasures to find, so let's get digging into everything we know about Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Release date

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii's release date was moved up a week from its original date to give more room to Monster Hunter Wilds, and will now come out on February 21, 2025.
Platforms
Like past entries, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will not be exclusive to any platform. Likewise, it also isn't a current-gen exclusive. It will be available on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While the Switch is getting its first Like a Dragon games with Kiwami, it sadly won't be able to handle this one.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii just converted me into a series fan

Before anyone decides to throw a tomato at my face, I have to admit that I’ve never played a single Yakuza/Like a Dragon game in my life. While I’ve always been intrigued by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s action-adventure franchise, I didn’t really know where to begin. The mere thought of starting a series with over a dozen games already released felt like a daunting task. And so it was with an open mind that I tried out the next -- and possibly strangest -- entry in the series, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, during Tokyo Game Show. What a way to start, right?

As I played the 20-minute-long demo, I was grinning from ear to ear. It’s so joyously ridiculous and loaded with promising side content that I’m left wondering why I waited so long to get into the franchise. This may not be the ideal starting point for newcomers from a story perspective, but it might be the game that finally gets anyone who’s been on the fence about starting the series to dive in.
Majima and mayhem
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii stars Goro Majima, the “Mad Dog of Shimano” and one of the most iconic characters in the long-running series. His misadventures have taken him on a wild journey to the high seas, where a bout with amnesia leads him to believe that he’s a pirate captain in search of treasure. Seeing him appear on screen for the first time in the demo, I couldn’t help but be reminded of a rowdy and rambunctious uncle who taught me how to drink and smoke when I was 8 years old.

Sega announced that the next game in the Like a Dragon (formerly known as Yakuza) series will be Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Yes, you read that title right.

The game was revealed, and we learned more about it, during RGG Summit 24 on Friday morning. Launching on February 28, 2025, Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii takes cues from 2024's Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Here, the spinoff's focus is on the eccentric Goro Majima, who loses his memory and gets swept up in what Sega calls a "pirate yakuza adventure." Its reveal trailer gives a deep dive into its story, which begins with Majima washing up on the shores of Rich Island and being discovered by a young boy named Noah.
