What is this madness?! Dogs and cats living together–mass hysteria!
Of course, I’m talking about the bizarro concept that a Yakuza game is coming to the Wii U in Japan. Yes, I am still struggling to comprehend this departure from all things Sony.
Despite my befuddlement, Sega has announced that Yakuza 1 & 2 HD will be gracing Japanese Wii Us on August 8th of this year. In tandem with this announcement is the trailer you see above, along with several new screenshots showcasing how both games will utilize the Wii U’s Gamepad, including item management, map display, and the off-TV play. All other updates found on the PS3 version will remain intact, including the Easy Mode addition that was added shortly after release.
As you’d probably expect, there is still no word of any version of Yakuza 1 & 2 HD coming out west.

How about brining the collection to Xbox 360 in Europe so, you know, I can finally play these bloody games.
SEGA!
