This is awesome, ill pick the full collection phisically when its available for 60$ (The equivalent of 3 Apex skins :D)

I already own the games, but this way i keep my full Yakuza collection on only 1 console, and im actually in mood to replay them all again.

The Yakuza 3 site has updated with buttons to Amazon, GameStop, etc., but the buttons don't have any links in them.

Well that's good. I thought it was going to be sold directly through that Yakuza site which seems like it would have been a clusterfuck. Now we just need some stores to put up the pages!

Pretty much, it's extra needless cost for disc printing...the case is a novelty gift for long time (and long-suffering) Western fans.

Exactly. I think its just a really cool nod. I followed LRG back in the day before I gave up on racing for second one Vita orders, and you'd be bound to a minimum limited order number for PS3 discs which just seems like an added expense I don't see Sega needing to splash out for. I mean, how many people are going to play the PS3 version over the PS4 version? Unless they really want to read Manga in Japanese I can't think of a single reason.

$60 is a steal for the games. Depending on how much you plan on playing each, its basically anywhere between 20-100+ hours per game.

$20 each for a PS3 era remaster is pretty standard, plus these all have tons of extra content; these three games alone could take up most of a year for an average person.

for real - if you've not played them, that's literally hundreds of hours. for a remake? this is a steal
plus 4 is still one of the best ones

I've still gotta finish Kiwami 2. These aren't the remakes with the new engine though are they? Just a remaster?

Edit, just watched the trailer. Just straight remasters. I'm definitely glad to see them though.

Well shit I didn't think they'd go that far.

$60 is not too much considering Yakuza 5 by itself is probably bigger than 3 and 4 put together.

I've had the Japanese version of 5 sitting in its place on my Yakuza PS3 shelf, bought it (and Valkyria Chronicles 3) like 2 months before the localization was announced at PSX that year.

I need to find that tweet but once Sam Mullen explained just how much text they needed to translate in Yakuza games...5 won by a clear country mile.

The beginning is the slowest, and the cut content pissed a lot of people back then. It's still an incredible game, and super important in giving context to Kiryu struggles in the latter games. He does everything for that orphanage and those kids.

Scott is the employee who pioneered a lot of Yakuza's localisations and releases right? This is massive that Sega did this without him then, because they see the value in the series. What a comeback!

Edit: Oop, nevermind I just read his story under the tweet. Bless Jon!

Lol why are they offering an Yakuza 5 case for PS3 if the game was only available digital? Is just for collection reasons?

3 games for 60$. Seems reasonable when ppl here say 20$ is ok to ask for a single skin. These are 40 to 60 hour games each. And Yakuza 5 is massive.

Thats a glorious selection of games. Did they already fixed the bugs with the Shenmue games. I need to get ready for Shenmue 3 and im not in mood to hook my dreamcast.

Most bugs. A couple of smaller audio issues remain but my replays I did late last year were practically perfect (and while I do wish all audio was perfect, the vastly improved image quality and load times kinda made up for that).

Rad.

I'll be waiting for the physical version. Coming off of Judgement, its too soon for me to return to Kamurocho, especially considering how absurdly packed this month is.

Im one of those that say Y3 was the worst, but my reason is because i got super salty by the amount of cutted content for the western version. Game is actually good, and i loved Okinawa. But as someone that loves to spend time with side content, really sucked to know the game got a good amount of side stuff cutted.

I will buy these but boy I really need to smash out Kiwami 2 so I can finally start 6, (#3 was my first Yakuza game) I don't know if I could go through 3-5 again, 3 was pretty bleh. Still, I need them to have the complete collection on one console.
