While temporarily leaked onto the Sega Release Schedule website last week, in this weeks Famitsu it was confirmed that Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Edition will be released to the Japanese market on the Playstation 3 from the 1st November at a price of ¥5,290. The Yakuza line of games is heavily storyline-oriented and in Yakuza 3/4 lengthly recap videos were included in each release in order to keep newcomers to the series informed about the events of past games (Which especially over here in Australia were a real pain to track down).
The game will feature High-definition visuals along with making some minor enhancements to the original games such as reduction in load times and will feature data install. There is however no official word or guarantee that this will be released outside of Japan, and if so if it will contain the original Yakuza 1 English dub or will provide Japanese dubs for both games in the set.
