‘Yakuza 1 and 2 HD’ Coming to Wii U in Japan
The Yakuza series, known for its always violent, sometimes campy depiction of the Japanese crime world, will be making its first appearance on a non Sony console when Yakuza 1 and 2 HD hits the Wii U. The catch? It’s only in Japan.
Continuing what seems to be a strong partnership between former rivals and kings of our childhood, Nintendo and Sega had quite a few bombshells during the Nintendo Direct presentation last week. Yakuza 1 and 2 will go a long way to help dispel the stigma surrounding Nintendo as a “kids console.” The only problem is that Yakuza has never been more than a cult classic amongst gamers outside of Japan, so getting the game here is a long shot. All we can do is show our support and hope for the best, since you know… online petitions don’t work.
Featuring an HD upgrade and off TV play, Yakuza 1 & 2 HD hits Japanese shelves in August.
