It seems that SEGA have heard fans as they announce that Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4 and Yakuza 5 are heading to PlayStation 4 consoles. As of this recording, the three games have only been announced for Japanese release but I’m pretty sure they will end up coming to the West. On this episode of the SEGA News Bits we discuss our thoughts on these games getting a second chance, talk about the details regarding the releases and discuss other last generation releases that deserve ports. What are your thoughts? Will be pick them up if they come West? Let us know in the comments below.

I don’t see why anyone would be so confident in the prospect of these games releasing West. Yakuza 1 and 2 remasters never were.
Uh, yeah they were/are going to. Yakuza Kiwami came out in August last year in standard and steelbook editions and Yakuza Kiwami 2 is coming out this year in August in standard and steelbook editions.
Maybe you’re thinking of the historical spinoffs, Kenzan and Ishin?
Those are remakes. I’m talking about the remasters.
Oh, I understand! Well, I’d say chances are as good as ever that these will make their way to the West. The series has been picking up steam and selling better and better, so I think Sega is becoming more confident that they’ll get a good return on their investment. Plus these titles have already been localised (with the exception of the hostess club content from Yakuza 3) so they should be relatively inexpensive to bring to the West.
