Yakuza 2 is super rare so I am glad it got a reprint.

The reprints are available at VGP and Amazon:

Yakuza 2 is still full price after nearly ten years and a reprint... geez.

BomberMouse · Feb 10, 2017

:O Dunno whether I should try to get Y2 or hope for a remake.

I dunno, that price is making me not want to buy it, even as a huge fan of 0, 4, and 5.

standard procedure for their reprints. everything close to MSRP.

Amagon · Feb 10, 2017

Holy moly, that's awesome to hear!

Malick[AI] · Feb 10, 2017

Snagged 1, 2, & 3!

Thanks for the heads-up!

Iva Demilcol · Feb 10, 2017

Always tried to get these games but right now there are so many of them that I just don't want to even try them anymore.

The price was over $100 for used copies just last week....so yeah $49.99 is pretty good TBH

r3n4ud · Feb 10, 2017

Man, really wish there were remasters of these for PS4, or a full collection. Alas, guess I'll pick these up.

YuriLowell · Feb 10, 2017

I thought Y2 was 30 at release?

Just get Yakuza 0?

ThatsMytrunks · Feb 10, 2017

Bought 1 and 2 on Amazon earlier today. My UK copies of 3 and 4 will suffice, since they're pretty much the exact same packaging.

Sparrowhawk · Feb 10, 2017

This is very tempting...

Luminaire · Feb 10, 2017

$50 for each?! Hopefully this encourages Sega to bring over the HD remasters and do a physical version of 5.

Or a Yakuza Collection with 1-5...

Phil Fish · Feb 10, 2017

Well shit, I think I'll grab 2, 3 and 4 just in case kiwami's don't come out. Won't bother with #1 since kiwami is confirmed for a western release.

LiK · Feb 10, 2017

i don't remember but this is a Canadian retailer so prices will be higher in general.

Kiwami is confirmed for later this year.

Personally I'd wait for a remake

According to this thread Gamestop sold it for $29.99 but the MSRP was $39.99

Decider · Feb 10, 2017

Are the VGP copies the same as the regular NA ones? I'd like to grab 3&4 without dual French/English on the sleeves.

I feel like there's a slim chance of 3 & 4 remakes but a 2 remake seems inevitable.

Menitta · Feb 10, 2017

Definitely gonna grab 2. Even if 2 gets remade, it'll be a while before it comes out here. Kiwami 1 and 6 aren't even out yet.

davidwhangchoi · Feb 10, 2017

Yakuza 2 now ps2 best seller on amazon =P

No it wasn't.

I remember because I waited for a price drop haha.

pikablu · Feb 10, 2017

the collector in me wants to buy these but I know I really don't need them.

Flame Lord · Feb 10, 2017

Cool, unfortunate that they expect me to pay over $30 though.

Danny Dudekisser · Feb 10, 2017

That's cool for people who couldn't get their hands on Yakuza 2.

Though I think that, at this point, one should probably just hold out for Yakuza Kiwami instead of playing the kinda not great first game.

mdubs · Feb 10, 2017

They have a discounted bundle if you are buying all 4 https://www.videogamesplus.ca/yakuza-pack-yakuza-for-ps2-and-for-ps3-ps2ps3-save-p-24600.html

I bought my copy of Y2 from Amazon back on September 2008 for $28 plus tax. Just checked my order history.

I second that.

BTW, your avatar is glorious.

mindatlarge · Feb 10, 2017

I have the Japanese HD collection with 1 and 2 for PS3, but this is tempting.

Madrugador · Feb 10, 2017

Please put Yakuza 3 on PSN. Please Sega!!!

Anung · Feb 10, 2017

I have a PS2 but no way in hell could I afford these

Pop the disc in your PC and use an emulator.

Hoping for a remaster down the road.

Lindsay · Feb 10, 2017

No Yakuza 5 reprint?

Oh right... -.-;

Yohane · Feb 10, 2017

HD port plz sega

Still miffed Sega didn't want to collab with Limited Run Games on that one.

salromano · Feb 10, 2017

I really want to get into the series, but the at $180 total, it's not something I can afford right now.

LiK · Feb 10, 2017

FYI, Yakuza 2 is still one of the best in series.

Acquiescence · Feb 10, 2017

Yakuza 2 is a masterpiece. Just putting it out there.

If you like the series but haven't played 2, it's your loss.

Philippo · Feb 10, 2017

They really should make a quick re-release of 2-5 for PS4 after Kiwami and before 6, so people will be able to play the entire mainline sags on PS4.

He can.

Wagram · Feb 10, 2017

Just bought 2, 3, and 4. I'll pick up Kiwami when it releases.

That was basically the price of Yakuza 2 alone these days.
