Title: Yakuza 3 Releasing March 2010 for the West!
Post by: BizioEE on November 26, 2008, 05:12:37 AM

The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly has confirmed that the latest entry into Sega\'s popular Yakuza series will be hitting shelves in Japan on February 26, 2009.  Yakuza 3 will debut at a price of 7980 yen.

A prequel to the series,Yakuza Kenzan!, was released last year in Japan and was an instant blockbuster, selling over a quarter million copies.  With both Sega\'s Yakuza 3 and From Software\'s Demon Soul hitting Japanese shelves in the same month, the PlayStation 3 is set to start with a bang in 2009.


Very good, starting from December WKC, then  SF4 and Yakuza 3, RE5 and FFXIII Demo!  About KillZone2 we will see how Jap people will take it.

I guess I played the first Yakuza. It was decent, but pretty slow paced and repetitive, if I remember right. They\'ve had plenty of time to polish it up, though, I suppose.

I wasn\'t interested in this title intially because i could\'ve swore there was another yakuza 3 that was based on tribal japan or something along those lines..in any case it looks like they either trashed that concept or canceled it altogether, because this version looks like it\'s based on the other two....and it\'s peaked my interest.

[size=+1]Sega launches Yakuza 3 marketing campaign of epic proportions![/size]

Quote

Sega of Japan has just announced a massive marketing campaign to promote it\'s upcoming title, Yakuza 3.  Sega will be collaborating with several different commercial enterprises to get the word out on Yakuza 3.   Of course, all this includes the recent promotions with the Japanese Don Quijote retail shops.

First, they announced a tie up with Japanese fasihon magazine Koakuma Ageha to produce a limited print of Yakuza T-Shirts.

They also announced they will be re-partnering with the Japanese resturant chain Matsuya.  Matsuya will be featured in the Yakuza game, and in return, Matsuya will be holding a drawing to give away Yakuza-printed dinner bowls.  The resturant will also be giving away codes to download an exclusive Yakuza background.

The Tokyo-based chain of karaoke rooms, B&V Karaoke-Kan, is also featured via a singing mini-game in the game.  Karaoke-Kan will be selling Yakuza-themed food and drinks, and will also be airing a special Yakuza 3 commercial.  Exclusive wallpaper downloads will also be available from the karaoke chain.

Finally, Okinawa Health Food Develop Cooperative will also be offering Yakuza-style health drinks.  In the game, OHDC drinks can be consumed to regain health.

Now if Sony only took lessons from Sega.  Imagine being able to purchase the Arc lightning gun from retail gun stores nationwide?  On second thought...

Yakuza 3 is an open world, Grand Theft Auto-style action game, developed by Sega.  It\'s due out in Japan on February 27, though no Western release is planned.

I read that they have no plans for a western release...:mad:...it seems like the western and u.s. gamers are apparemtly FPS freaks and wii casual players....actually the people that made the comments after the article in the comments section stated that the yakuza series didn\'t sell too well in the states, but it did really well in japan....i guess that\'s why they are not even going to bother.

I still hope they release it over here..i passed on the first two, but this one looks good.

We know, Yakuza 4 is coming for Japan, but what about us ?  What about Yakuza 3 for the West ?

[size=+1]Exclusive right TGS: Yakuza 3 will arrive at Europe in March ![/size]

Quote

During the last weeks the rumors on the future of Yakuza 3 outside Japan have followed one another, with the news coming from the United States that assured that Ignition Entertainment could bring the game to Europe, and that Sega still considered the possibility of locating it.

In Tokyo Game Vandal Show it has been able to know that Yakuza 3 will arrive at Europe in the month of March, and that in fact the Castilian will do with translation. Although it has not been confirmed what company is the one that is behind the project, although the information which we have rather little indicates one habitual one in Japanese games, yes we know that one of the controverted parts more of the game, the one of the management of clubs of alternates, will be eliminated in the western version, reducing therefore the task of location of the game.

The information of Vandal Online does not confirm that the game is going to come completely located, that is to say, with dubbing, but that will have texts in Castilian, and that in fact its translation is being finished these weeks. The date of launching is not safe either, although our Japanese sources indicated the month to us of March like most probable. To you we will maintain informed on a possible official announcement.
