Yakuza Restoration Announced By Sega

[Kresnik]

I'm surprised people are suggesting Wii-U for this.

There's meeting "low expectations" i.e. maybe scraping 10k after a few weeks and showing there's some interest in the series on Nintendo consoles; and then there's "not-charting-in-the-top-50-on-Media-Create-in-a-week-with-not-much-competition". So far, the experiment has demonstrated the latter.

If this is on Wii-U as well as PS3/4/Vita (I don't doubt it'll appear on one of the Sony consoles), then that'll only be because it's development was started before the HD Collection drew close to release. Or Nintendo paid for it as part of their deal. Because there's no way it's migrating on its own after those sales.

I suspect it'll be PS4 given a) Nagoshi said he was done with PS3; b) They did the same thing with Yakuza Kenzan to bridge the gap between the main series making the jump to next gen and c) They haven't announced a console yet, which seems a bit strange.

I always hope things like this come to Vita, but we won't be seeing it localized regardless (I think Yakuza is done in the west), so I guess it doesn't really matter.
