Amazon Germany lists Yakuza 3? Scheisse! photo

Germany getting Sega's PS3 gangster sandbox Yakuza 3 before USA? What the scheisse?

Before I get all fanboy, I should tell you what's going on. Amazon.de lists Yakuza 3 for preorder as of today. They list a release date of March, 2010. Looks pretty legit, too.

I did say some time back that we would just leave Yakuza 3 alone until we got solid confirmation of a US release, but I can't help but have hope after seeing this. Am I alone in that? If Europe (or at least part of it) is a go, then I feel pretty good about a US release. What do you say, Sega? Mach jetzt! Bitte?

What the shit is right. Sega needs to localize this game over here already.

Yakuza 3 is all that is holding me back from getting a PS3. The day it is officially announced that it is being released in the US, I will get a PS3 also.

Not to sound smug or anything, but here's a chant I've read way too many times on this site whenver Europe gets shafted, with a slight variation you may notice.

GER-MA-NY!
GER-MA-NY!
GER-MA-NY!
And so on...

Still need to finish the game. I wanna import Yakuza 4 when it comes out too. I really think those of you that want it bad enough should go ahead and import it. It's really a pretty import friendly title when you take the nearly word for word translation that's available online.

That said if there was a local version hitting the states soon I would definitely pick it up.

How do you say "fap" in German?

I think fap would be fap in German, considering it's not an actual word.

That would be onanieren or wichsen, but you can't really translate *fap fap fap* into german.^^

To stay on topic: FINALLY!

I just started playing Yakuza 2 two days ago (it was on top of the 'To Play' pile) and am loving it. I had forgotten that Sega actually didn't bother to dub the voices in English. That was a nice surprise.
Maybe by the time I finish 2, 3 will be announced... maybe Sega?
