It Looks like Yakuza 1&2 HD Bombed on Wii U (looks like no western release)


Dual Shockers has peaked into the upcoming sales of the media create charts for Japan this week, and it seems Yakuza 1&2 HD bombed at retail. 

Dual Shockers usually contacts Tsutaya, one of the biggest retailers in Japan to get an idea of how games are selling. Tsutaya has a high number of retail chains spread across Japan, so they tend to be accurate when predicting numbers.

The top 10 goes as follows:

Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life – 3DS
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team - 3DS
One Piece: Romance Dawn – 3DS
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies – 3DS
Dragon’s Crown – PS3
Youkai Watch – 3DS
Tomodachi Collection: New Life – 3DS
Dragon’s Crown – PS Vita
The Witch and the Hundred Knights – PS3
Earth Defense Force 4 – PS3
The 3DS is doing well, and a few PS3 titles are holding strong, but Yakuza 1&2 HD failed to make the top 10 yet along the top 20 in sales.



This would be the first Yakuza game failing to make the top charts in Japan. However, Yakuza games are usually released on Sony platforms.

Both of the original PS2 games were released on the PS3 last year. Now all we need to know is where Pikmin 3 ended up.

No surprise, what were people expecting? Its a year old port of an HD collection. If it was an all new original exclusive for Wii U then this might be worrying.

Sega cannot expect people to just accept an old port of a game. Thats ridiculous, the sales Sega seems to be getting these days are well deserved.

When Nintendo is even selling bad in its home country u know there's trouble, ouch

How is that relevent? How many ports of ports sell well regardless of what console thay are on?

Old port HD release in a small user base lol

What the OP article expected?

In the end it says Something about pikmin 3 not even in the top 10 also andI don't think that was a port, but you know Nintendo games its hard to tell sometimes....

I'd imagine they'd already bought it for ps3. Not very surprising.

haha, try harder man!

It is a port, it released on PS3 last November. And Pikmin was in the top 10 for 4 weeks.
