Yakuza 1 & 2 HD collection coming to Wii U in Japan

Yakuza 1 & 2 HD will bundle the first two games in the open-world crime series for Wii U, it was announced on the Japanese stream of today's Nintendo Direct press conference.

A trailer for the game shown on the stream showcased some of the upscaled graphics players can expect from the bundle, as well as some of the Wii U-exclusive elements for the platform. Players will be able to monitor their character's status, and navigate through the game's complex streets using a map on the Wii U GamePad.

The bundle will launch on Wii U in Japan on Aug. 8. We've reached out to Sega to find out if it's also coming to North America.
