Finally! Yes!
Confirmed for both America and Europe is Yakuza 3, the first PS3 outing of Sega's gangster game series. Fans, including myself, have been beating down Sega's doors for this for awhile now. Up until now, the title has been stuck in Japan, with the west watching as even a fourth Yakuza game comes and goes.
Sony says that they listened and made it happen. Love when that happens.
As I had hoped, Yakuza 3 will be in Japanese, with English subtitles. No wasting time with crap dubs. Best of all, it's coming March of 2010.
Nice. This is like a Christmas gift. Thanks, Sony Claus.
[thanks, y]

No more playing the demo over and over and over again, plus now I can understand what the hell is going on in the game.
As you can tell I'm a Yakuza lover.
Awesome. This game is kickass.
Now all we need is the samurai one!
Whooooooo yes! Fucking yeah!!!!
Yakuza baby! Fucking YES!
Win win win win win win win win.
March 2010: ...oh.
Absolutely looking forward to it!
While you're here, can you get on making another Jet Set Radio?
Gleeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
glad i'm getting a PS3. in the meantime I can go back to 1 and 2.
PSA: If you signed a petition for Sega to bring this over to the US and you DON'T buy the game, you deserve a punch in the mouth.
Oh yes please.
If Project Needlemouse doesn't suck next year could be a good year for Sega.
But seriously, the dub for Yakuza was pretty good. It featured Mark Hamill and the guy who does the voice of Goofy and a bunch of pretty talented actors. It's safe to say there won't be any English VO in this one, just like Yakuza 2.
SEGA should just flush down Sonic Team and give Dimps a raise.
Were it not for Yakuza and Valkyria Chronicles I wouldn't buy a single game from those arse holes.
Been hoping for this game to come out.
March is looking to be a good month for games.
But a bad month for my wallet...
Gotta remember to get a new PS2 so I can play Yakuza 2 though...
One manly tear rolls down my right aye... ;_;
Can't frigging wait. This should be awesome.
Thank you for this news anyway I was really waiting for this.
march 2010 is gonna anally rape my wallet :-(
ah well. I'll blast through the main story and savor the actual gameplay elements more properly when the game releases here next year.
Shenmue fans... This is as close as you'll get to a part 3. Relish this news.
and to top it all their gonna use subtitles..I LOVE IT!!!..
it would preserve the integrity of the game hell yessss!!!!!!!
and about time too yakuza 4 is almost out in Japan lols
