《人中之龍1＆2 HD版 for Wii U》（日文：龍が如く1＆2 HD For Wii U）是SEGA於2013年8月8日專為Wii U平台推出的動作冒險遊戲合集。收錄經典PS2時期的《人中之龍》初代與《人中之龍2》，並加以高畫質化處理，以HD畫面重現傳奇黑道故事的起點。這也是《人中之龍》系列首次登陸任天堂平台，對當時的玩家來說無疑是話題性極高的移植之作。

劇情背景設定在虛構的日本風俗區「神室町」，靈感來自東京新宿歌舞伎町，系列主人公「桐生一馬」，一名為兄弟情誼與信念而多次捲入黑道鬥爭的男人。在《人中之龍1》中，桐生因為為義兄頂罪而入獄十年，出獄後捲入與100億圓失蹤案有關的黑幫內鬥，並邂逅關鍵人物~10歲的小女孩遙。在《人中之龍2》中，桐生已經退隱江湖，卻因為一場東西黑道聯合的危機被迫再次出手，前往大阪展開新一場勢力與忠誠的試煉。兩部作品均以劇情為核心，展現出濃厚的日式黑幫美學與情感糾葛，結合武力、義理與人情，堪稱成人向敘事風格的典範。

在操作系統上，透過GamePad提供獨特的雙螢幕體驗。在電視上進行主要遊戲畫面操作，同時利用GamePad來瀏覽地圖、任務清單或是快速切換物品，提升操作流暢度與便利性。戰鬥系統承襲原作的即時格鬥模式，透過連擊與「熱血動作」（Heat Action）施展出充滿力量與戲劇性的招式，對抗各類黑幫敵人與頭目。此外，遊戲中的支線任務、迷你遊戲與場所探索也一應俱全，例如卡拉OK、打棒球、賭場、夜總會互動等，都保留系列豐富的都市生活感，讓整體遊玩體驗更具沉浸感。

畫面方面，雖然標榜為HD重製，但畢竟是基於PS2版本的素材升級，因此在貼圖細節、人物建模與動畫上仍難與後期PS4的重製版本如《人中之龍 極》相比。然而，對當時的Wii U平台而言，這樣的畫質已屬水準之上，特別是光影與街區氛圍的重現仍具有相當吸引力。音效與配樂方面延續原作特色，日語配音自然生動，能有效傳達角色情緒張力。

至於市場評價方面，在日本推出時曾被視為任天堂平台吸引成年玩家的一次嘗試，但實際反響並不如預期。由於Wii U的用戶群偏年輕家庭向，加上作品本身屬於成人導向、劇情沉重的作品，導致市場銷量平平。在發售首週僅售出約1萬套，遠低於預期。評論方面則普遍認為，這是內容紮實、劇情成熟、重製誠意十足的作品，但選擇登陸Wii U並未發揮其潛力。玩家對於GamePad輔助功能感到新鮮，但也指出這並未大幅改變遊戲體驗，屬於錦上添花而非核心創新。

總體來看，《人中之龍1＆2 HD版 for Wii U》是重現經典、充滿劇情張力與暴力美學的動作冒險遊戲合集，適合希望重溫系列起源的粉絲，以及對日本黑幫敘事感興趣的玩家。雖然平台選擇略顯尷尬，市場表現也不算成功，但在Wii U平台上的出現，無疑為任天堂主機增添一筆成人遊戲的代表之作。

Yakuza 1 & 2 HD for Wii U (Japanese title: 龍が如く1＆2 HD For Wii U) is an action-adventure game collection released by SEGA on August 8, 2013, exclusively for the Wii U platform. This title bundles the classic PlayStation 2 entries Yakuza and Yakuza 2, enhancing them with HD graphics to reintroduce the origins of this legendary crime saga. Marking the first time the Yakuza series appeared on a Nintendo console, it generated considerable buzz among players at the time.

The story is set in the fictional entertainment district of Kamurocho, inspired by Tokyo’s Kabukicho. The series centers on Kazuma Kiryu, a stoic yet honorable man repeatedly drawn into the criminal underworld by his unwavering loyalty and sense of justice. In Yakuza 1, Kiryu goes to prison for ten years, taking the fall for his sworn brother. Upon release, he becomes entangled in a bloody conflict involving a missing 10 billion yen and meets a mysterious girl named Haruka, who becomes central to the narrative. In Yakuza 2, Kiryu has stepped away from the yakuza life, but a brewing alliance between eastern and western crime syndicates pulls him back into the fray, leading him to Osaka in another emotional and violent journey of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption. Both games are narrative-driven and rich in emotional depth, exemplifying the mature storytelling that defines the Yakuza franchise.

In terms of gameplay, the Wii U version leverages the GamePad to offer a dual-screen experience. While the main game plays out on the television screen, the GamePad is used for viewing maps, mission logs, and item management, enhancing convenience and interface efficiency. Combat maintains the original’s real-time brawling system, allowing players to chain combos and unleash “Heat Actions” — dramatic finishing moves that showcase the raw power and flair of street fighting. The game also retains the series’ signature urban immersion, including a wide variety of side quests, mini-games, and explorable venues like karaoke bars, batting cages, casinos, and hostess clubs, delivering a vivid simulation of Japan’s nightlife.

Graphically, while this edition is marketed as an HD remaster, it is fundamentally an upscale of PS2-era assets. Thus, character models, textures, and animations fall short compared to later remakes such as Yakuza Kiwami on PS4. Nonetheless, for the Wii U hardware, the visual fidelity was considered above average at the time, especially in its atmospheric lighting and detailed urban environments. Sound design remains faithful to the originals, with Japanese voice acting bringing emotional resonance to each scene.

In terms of market reception, the game was viewed as an attempt to draw a more mature audience to the Wii U. However, it failed to meet commercial expectations. The Wii U’s player base skewed younger and more family-oriented, clashing with Yakuza’s adult themes and complex storytelling. First-week sales were modest, reaching only around 10,000 units in Japan — a figure well below SEGA’s projections. Critics generally praised the robust content, mature narrative, and respectful remastering, but many agreed that the Wii U was not the ideal platform for the franchise. The GamePad features were seen as novel but ultimately superficial, adding convenience without truly transforming gameplay.

In summary, Yakuza 1 & 2 HD for Wii U is a compelling reintroduction to a gritty and emotional crime saga, perfect for long-time fans wishing to revisit the origins of Kazuma Kiryu or newcomers interested in Japanese underworld dramas. Although the platform choice limited its impact and market reach, its presence on the Wii U stands as a rare and noteworthy example of adult-themed storytelling on a Nintendo console.
