The popular Japanese crime series Yakuza has been around since the PlayStation 2-era. While it doesn't resonate with everyone, those who like it REALLY love it. The game's audience isn't exactly "niche" but it doesn't exactly have the biggest reach either (at least here in the west). This has made it harder to find copies of the early entries in the series, but now everyone has the chance to play the original versions of Yakuza 1 – 4.
A retailer issued an order for the publisher of the Yakuza series to reprint copies of the first 4 games in the series. AND THEY ACTUALLY DID IT. Yes, they're making brand new, factory sealed copies of PlayStation 2 games in 2017.
Apparently a retailer out in North America placed a reorder for these classics, sooooo limited reprint! #yakuza #thatNewGameSmell pic.twitter.com/koJnYEdARI

You can purchase copies on Amazon or VideoGamePro's website and yes, they will cost you their original price so expect to drop a lot of cash down if you want all 4 games.
Sega recently released Yakuza 0 on PS4 and we really dug it, you can check out our review here.
