[IrishNinja]

FUCK

seriously, i hope these make it over here so hard - i'd love to replay them in glorious HD, widescreen & trophies! oh god now im gonna have to plat the whole seires

ps do you think they'll change kazzy-chan's model up to make it the transition to PS3 less weird?

[metalslimer]

FUCK YES

Never coming to America given Sega's current strategy

[Kaako]

Time to step da fock up!

[LiK]

OMFG

[IrishNinja]

Never coming to America given Sega's current strategy

FUCK
NO

You gotta believe!! for real though, that's a possibility but with the translation for 2 done (and the dubbing for 1 anyway), does it seem that unlikely?

[RoboPlato]

On the off chance thos comes to the US I'll defintiely pick them up since I've been interested in the series for a while but don't want to jump in 4 games down the line. Hopefully they at least get a digital release.

The only chance is a PSN release.

[Ein Bear]

Sega are the best fucking company ever for doing all these HD remasters.

[Stumpokapow]

Never coming to America given Sega's current strategy

Sega's current strategy is to release over 75 games a year DIGITALLY.

[Tailzo]

Not expecting it to be released outside of Japan. But it sounds like a good idea. If they update the character models, it would be great.

edit: Well, maybe for PSN.

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Never coming to America given Sega's current strategy

PSN ala JSR HD and NiGHTS HD?

[duckroll]

The only chance is a PSN release.

That would not be unusual at all for HD Remasters. Most (all?) of them are already on PSN.

[IrishNinja]

The only chance is a PSN release.

yeah, i'm pretty much betting on this, no real shot at a retail one, but - day 1. like, i'll call out of work that night to buy them with a force so powerful it hits all the goddamn targets in the batting cages simultaneously

Sega are the best fucking company ever for doing all these HD remasters.

should've been doing them this whole gen but yeah, better late than never!

Sega's current strategy is to release over 75 games a year DIGITALLY.

totally forgot this was outlined heavily in their new plan, HYPE RISING

[M_Night]

holy fuckzorz!

[shagg_187]

Dear Sega: Give me Yakuza pack with all the games and I'll buy it at a heartbeat.

[metalslimer]

That would not be unusual at all for HD Remasters. Most (all?) of them are already on PSN.

True. I guess there's a better chance than I originally thought.

[desu]

So Yakuza 1-5 + Dead Souls on my PS3, awesome!

[IrishNinja]

Dear Sega: Give me Yakuza pack with all the games and I'll buy it at a heartbeat.

oh, you'll get it.
it'll be a $120 import on playasia for the half hour before it sells out, too.

[8bit]

Be My Baby HD! Fighting a Tiger HD!

[Kyoufu]

Smith was right all along.

Will buy!

[shagg_187]

oh, you'll get it. it'll be a $120 import on playasia for the half hour before it sells out, too.

... :(

I guess I should also preorder Street Fighter Collection now that they added PSOne/PSP titles in it too.

[FloppyDelux]

I still need to play these games...

[froliq]

Will buy when/if it hits the west.

[Ein Bear]

I can't see why they wouldn't release these in the West... the translation work's already been done, so it couldn't cost them very much at all, could it?

BELIEVE.

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I have both for PS2 but would love to play them in HD. Pwease Sega...

[Aguirre]

is this digital or physical?

[Noisepurge]

holy crap! :D will buy if they get ported.

im not so worried about the visuals, the gameplay mechanics are more outdated :P

[KennyLinder]

Boxset these fuckers and ship to Europe!!

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Holy shit, YES! All over this!

[TheShampion]

I bet for the US Yakuza 1 and 2 will be sold separately on PSN (like they did for the Monster World collection). Though, if this does make it over, I wonder if they will go for the dub, or have the original JP track for Yakuza 1?

[Withnail]

Hopefully these come to the west. PSN releases are fine if that's what it takes.

Sega should do a PS3 box set of the entire Yakuza series. It would be glorious. In fact I wouldn't even mind if they left out Kenzan and Dead Souls, just 1-5 in one set would be amazing.

[LiK]

I can't see why they wouldn't release these in the West... the translation work's already been done, so it couldn't cost them very much at all, could it? BELIEVE.

yea, just reuse the English subtitle/text

[IrishNinja]

Though, if this does make it over, I wonder if they will go for the dub, or have the original JP track for Yakuza 1?

i know they were trying with it at the time, but man id love to see 1 just get sub'd. no idea if they'd think it worth the effort with the (likely costly) dub just sitting there, but it's jarring going back to it now, much like EU shenmue 2 did to OG shenmue 1 for me.

[hamchan]

The only chance is a PSN release.

Well duh.

Should be super low cost for Sega to bring over so I don't see why they wouldn't.

Good news anyways.

[Zekra Dezivad]

A PSVita version would be a must buy

[R_thanatos]

i would buy this version digitally if i have to.

It would be nice if sega release it for us too

[No_Style]

Will get this. I started with Y2 so I never played Y1. Was Y1 only dubbed in English? No Japanese voice over w/ English subtitles release?

[Pie and Beans]

First the worst, second the best.

Nevertheless, feels like more Yakuza games I'll never see over here. My greatest wish would be for a dual cross-play pack of Yakuza 1 & 2, and Black Panther 1 on Vita -- really want to play that game and its sequel :( Would make my fucken day.

[Hex]

Sooooooo soooooo loving these releases.

[Lapidus' Beard]

I'll recieve you...

[gketter]

I'd like a yakuza 1 using subs :)

[slaughterking]

If it wasn't for those silly Japanese prices I would say they should just put the English translations on the Japanese disc and let us import it. 60 bucks is a bit much, though, so I hope for a western release.
Either way, it's great news. I just don't know if I really want to go back to Kamurocho. I'm so sick of it.

[Discotheque]

Yakuza 1 was my favorite of the 3 I played. I just found charm and hilarity in the english VA and secret underground hobo spy network.

[Holy Order Sol]

Will get this. I started with Y2 so I never played Y1. Was Y1 only dubbed in English? No Japanese voice over w/ English subtitles release?

Wow. You missed one of the most amazing English dubs ever.

[IrishNinja]

Will get this. I started with Y2 so I never played Y1. Was Y1 only dubbed in English? No Japanese voice over w/ English subtitles release?

yup, sadly.

Black Panther 1 on Vita. Woulda made my fucken day.

the only consolation i have is that Segata said on numerous occasions that one was kinda lousy and i didnt miss much. not that i wouldnt love to try it (as well as 2, which strikes me as just as unlikely at this point) someday, but it doesn't sting like Kenzan.

[Crazymoogle]

FUCK YES

THIS THIS THIS THIS

Oh gawd back to begging for a sega of america release :(

[Tizoc]

FUCK NO You gotta believe!! for real though, that's a possibility but with the translation for 2 done (and the dubbing for 1 anyway), does it seem that unlikely?

I believe, and will ALWAYS believe, ignore the nay sayers, they'll flip a 180 when this gets confirmed for an English release.
*Arnie bro shake from Preadtor movie.gif*

[Revolutionary]

Wow, hope this comes stateside. I started with Yakuza 3 so id love the opportunity to play the first 2, remastered.

[EYEL1NER]

Please please please bring it here. Or if not, release a Euro version so I can import.
