Holy cow, for the first time a game that was exclusive to Playstation is now coming to a Nintendo console, that is going to make Wii U sales rise.

I hope this makes it to the US. Sega has been reluctant to release the recent PS3 titles, but Nintendo seems to want to reach out to third party devs for localization (see Bravely Default) and this could be a good little boost for the Wii U's sales and maybe, just maybe, a litmus test for them localizing Yakuza 5.

Wonder if the Japanese version will have the English dub of the 1st game on it? Sure it wasn't the greatest, but who could resist Mark Hamil's take on Majima

Nintendo desperately buying up whatever easy ports they can from publishers to pad out the empty release schedule of their dying home console from the looks of things.

Single worst selling Yakuza release of all time this was I believe.

No it won't. Guaranteed this release will sell considerably worse than the PS3 version from last year and you won't see any of the sequels on Wii U.

How are you so sure of this? The Yakuza series is really big in Japan (like on the same level as GTA in US and Japan). Why would it sell worse on Wii U then PS3 if the Yakuza series is really big in Japan.
