They couldn't even get a Yakuza Trilogy Collection with 3+4+5?

Oh there you are. Thank goodness we share the same opinion on this lol

And yeah I don't get it

 

[abadguy]

Bah. Needs more Shenmue 1 and 2 HD leading up to Shenmue 3. Make it happen Nintendo!

 

[massoluk]

Oh god, please. This has to come to the US, right? Right?

 

[SpikedGunner]

now if only this would arrive on US shores, I'd buy a WiiU for this!

 

[Spieler Eins]

How ironic is it that Nintendo's biggest third party ally right now is SEGA.

Ubisoft actually... kind of.

 

[Gianni Merryman]

What about that other game they showed after Yakuza?
I was switching between two NDs and I can't recall its title.

 

[Nibel]

The negativity in this thread

Incredible

 

[.la1n]

SEGA Direct, LOL

Looks like he has taken a break from the tanning beds, good for him.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

In an alternate timeline, Iwata is the guest announcing Mario exclusivity to Sega's platform.

On the Sega Dreamcast 3 :\

 

[UnluckyKate]

this... this makes no sens. I'm happy more people can enjoy the glory of Yakuza series but this is just wrong on so many levels. Late port of decades old games that have no fan base on this manufacturer and that have no chance whatsoever to play the new games of this same franchise.

I don't get it.

It's so out of all logic.

 

[RyoonZ]

Valkyria Chronicles 4 next Nintendo Direct.

Spoiler

Japan Only

Sounds like a lot of previous Wii U releases, to be honest.

At least the PS3 version is region-free.

 

[DJIzana]

I'm totally down for that Yakuza 1&2 HD port.

What would be awesome is if they remade Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 in HD or brought the Gamecube one back from the dead on the Virtual Console, including online play. I know I'd definitely buy it...

 

[Kusagari]

Ubisoft actually... kind of.

I think all this support puts Sega over Ubi, especially after the Rayman debacle.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

On the other hand, actual games on the Wii U.

Yay.

 

[Black Republican]

wow, was not expecting Wii~U exclusive, very cool. Goes with my future WiiU purchase then heh

 

[metalslimer]

We all know this has no chance of coming to America. Come on now...

wow, was not expecting Wii~U exclusive, very cool. Goes with my future WiiU purchase then heh

This came out on the PS3 ages ago

 

[honorless]

If this hits NA, it might sell my fiancé on a Wii U @__@

 

[crinale]

Would Japanese audience triple-dip for this??? I doubt it...
Well at least SEGA is showing some support to the WiiU, good thing

 

[onQ123]

Why is Chad Warden playing a Wii U?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I did not expect this. I assume that if it sees a release in the West, it will be published by Nintendo.

Also, Nagoshi looks good again!

 

[Kyon]

We all know this has no chance of coming to America. Come on now...


This came out on the PS3 ages ago

The mere thought is hilarious.

If the PS3 versions struggled to get localized this has no chance in hell especially when I predict it won't sell

It makes sense for crazy Japan. This'll never happen in the US/Europe.

 

[jj984jj]

It's funny how many people didn't even realize this collection was already out on PS3.

 

[Ban Puncher]

This better make it out of Japan unlike the PS3 version.

 

[distantmantra]

It's funny how many people didn't even realize this collection was already out on PS3.

Yeah, the insulated world view of some is interesting.

 

[cafemomo]

Ubisoft actually... kind of.

The U in Wii U might as well stand for Ubisoft

 

[DragonSworne]

Did anyone notice the terrible framework for this game during the Nintendo direct?

What is up with Wii U and framerate problems?

 

[L Thammy]

Can someone explain these games for the uninitiated?

 

[Meelow]

Nagoshi already hinted he was working on a PS4 title.

Yeah Yakuza won't leave PlayStation, but I guess now the Wii U has a chance to get the next game.

 

[Glorified G]

Shame if it doesn't come out in the West.. I would get it.

 

[rvy]

That's... interesting? Probably no PAL release.

 

[makingmusic476]

If that were the case this would've been a 5 port announcement

Well, I figured they'd want to stagger the releases somewhat, to fill in more holes and lower prices per unit. Or make more money, since this is Japan.

Nagoshi already hinted he was working on a PS4 title.

Multiplatform it is, then!

 

[sakipon]

It makes sense for crazy Japan. This'll never happen in the US/Europe.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that. Nintendo has a reason to negotiate & pressure an eventual worldwide release. Sony doesn't need the franchise.

 

[LiK]

Can someone explain these games for the uninitiated?

RPG with brawler combat system and awesome Yakuza stories.

 

[jimi_dini]

Can someone explain these games for the uninitiated?

awesome.

 

[web01]

If the Wii u version somehow got localised and not the ps3 version I might commit.

Realistically were probably getting neither also where is my Yakuza 5! SEGA!

 

[Kikujiro]

The negativity in this thread

Incredible

Negativity? People are just being realistic.
It's much more incredible seeing people shouting ALL OVER MY FACE for a port of 2 seven years old games which already came out on the PS3.

 

[AcceptableGhost]

I wonder... if future Yakuza games will be for the WiiU?

 

[Gianni Merryman]

It's funny how many people didn't even realize this collection was already out on PS3.

Still, that could be the hint of something else, that's to say next game may be on Wii U, and that's something as regards Japan.

 

[Pooya]

looks like Sega is doing something with Nintendo, the have 7 WiiU game SKU for the year! unprecedented partnership.

 

[Nibel]

This came out on the PS3 ages ago

6 months are ages now, people

 

[Heart Attack]

As sad as it looks, there is a higher chance for Yakuza HD to get localized for the Wii U, than for PS3.

 

[distantmantra]

It's much more incredible seeing people shouting ALL OVER MY FACE for a port of 2 seven years old games which already came out on the PS3.

Especially with the previous bitching from Nintendo fans about getting late ports.

Hell, this late port probably won't even get localized.

 

[jimi_dini]

It's much more incredible seeing people shouting ALL OVER MY FACE for a port of 2 seven years old games which already came out on the PS3.

They probably thought the announcement was for EU+US. I did so too.

 

[DragonSworne]

This came out on the PS3 ages ago

If the Nintendo fanbase finds out it's not an exclusive but a late port, this game has no hope of selling.

Nintendo would appreciate it if you keep this information silent.

 

[prwxv3]

As sad as it looks, there is a higher chance for Yakuza HD to get localized for the Wii U, than for PS3.

Unless Nintendo publishes it it has a much lower chance.

 

[metalslimer]

6 months are ages now, people

In terms of being a late port 6 months is ages ago.

 

[Loris146]

Yeah Yakuza won't leave PlayStation, but I guess now the Wii U has a chance to get the next game.

Very low beacuse this collection will sell awful, imho. xP

 

[schuelma]

I wonder... if future Yakuza games will be for the WiiU?

I would guess this is laying the groundwork for a new Yakuza to be on Wii U as well as PS4.
