Now that SEGA and Nintendo have announced Yakuza 1&2 HD coming to the Wii U, everyone is asking the question if the new upcoming Yakuza game will appear on Nintendo’s console. In a new interview Nagoshi has stated that it seems unlikely. Yakuza 1&2 HD on Wii U marks the first time ever (not counting mobile phone games) that the series has appeared on a console not made by Sony. When asked if it would be coming to the 3DS, he stated simply no.
But what about the Vita? He said that it seems something natural for people to expect. So it seems if you want your Yakuza fix, it is guaranteed on Sony platforms. I say, the more platforms the better.

New Yakuza releases should stay Sony exclusive, as is their tradition.
In this light, it’s strange that Y1&2 are even coming to Wiiu. What’s the point?
Would be nice if they were released in the West.
I’m also wondering what the point is, but then, Sega does love their ports lately.
At the very least the Wii U version should have been a box set with ports of all the Yakuza games.
PS3 Yakuza games are 20+ GB in size each.
Wii U discs are 25GB per layer, so no problem there. Load times might be an issue though if you can’t install it.
Maybe if it’s sells goog who nows, but i want for now 1&2 HD in europe !
it as good not goog 😉
