Sega preparing Yakuza HD for release

Sega is remastering the first two Yakuza games, according to Japanese magazine Famitsu.

The remake is slated for a November 1 release in Japan. The new versions will sport enhanced graphics, reduced load times, and other features. Players can now manage their item box from the phone booth, and menus will display check marks next to food you've eaten at least once.

A North American release has yet to be confirmed, but the HD collection is headed to PS3.
