Yakuza 3
« on: July 30, 2009, 05:44:09 AM »
The third instalment in the Yakuza series isn't going to make it outside of Japan, by the looks of things.

A SEGA spokesperson told Eurogamer there are "currently no plans" to release the game in Europe.

Meanwhile, the Examiner reports that a US release has been ruled out by SEGA. Only 40,000 copies of the second game were sold over there, and the first one didn't do much better.

We imported a copy of Yakuza 3 back in May and gave it a big fat 8/10.  Read the review if you're feeling wistful.

My mate bought both Yakuzas and swears they are two of the best games available. He's still trying to get me to play 2, but it doesn't have achievements. He'll be gutted to hear it's not getting a western release  :-\

Maybe I'm thinking of a different series, but aren't the Yakuza games humorously considered garbage?

Maybe they're so bad, they're good.

Like Battle Construction Vehicles... possibly the best, worst game ever!

New screenshots of Sega's open-world Japanese mobster-fighting adventure, Yakuza 3, have been released, teasing the game's March-due arrival in North American and Europe while serving as another reminder that Japan gets Yakuza 4 around the same time.

Released in Japan and South East Asia back in February of 2009 as Ryu ga Gotuku 3 (Like a Dragon 3), Yakuza 3 sees series protagonist Kiryu Kazuma locking horns with the criminal underworld to protect an orphanage he's running with his adopted daughter.

Set in fictionalized versions of Tokyo cities Kabukicho and Okinawa that feature real-life landmarks and location tie-ins, the PlayStation 3 exclusive received the "Award for excellence" in 2009's Japan Game Awards' "Games of the Year Division."

Can't wait for Shenmue 3
