Oh good God. Take my money. Although it didn't help that I misread "Battles, either fights with regular street thugs or larger fights with powerful foes, blend into the game's adventure component seamlessly." as "Battles, either fights with regular street thugs or laser fights with powerful foes, blend into the game's adventure component seamlessly"
In all serious-ness though, considering SEGA's situation at the moment I reckon it'll be a digital only release in the West.
Nah, I think Yakuza is a big enough franchise for SEGA to warrant putting it out on discs. It's a PS3 exclusive, so wouldn't cost them as much in distribution and production costs as something that's multiformat.

I suppose, but isn't SEGA trying to push towards a digital future blah, blah, blah, etc, etc...

What.
Yakuza is a bomba franchise what are you talking about. We'd be lucky to even get it digital at this point in SEGAs life.
Look it at this way: It's never sold particularly well in the West, yet SEGA still have released every Yakuza game bar Kenzan and the two PSP games over here.
I reckon there'd be uproar if Yakuza 5 didn't make it over. If anything, they probably won't bother porting Yakuza 1&2 HD.
I've played them via PS3 as mine's backwards compatible, and they're not bad. Yakuza 2 is better than the first one, but that's not really saying much.
I'd quite like it to come out over here as well, but I reckon it's unlikely. If there was a choice, I'd much rather have 5.
I wonder. The HD collection seems more likely to come over, since they're already translated. Though they'd likely have to undub Yakuza 1 so they don't need to pay royalties to the VAs.
