You’re getting Yakuza 3 whether you want it or not!
While I know its a sore topic for most, the Yakuza games have never been huge sellers in the States. The sales for the first two games were so poor, in fact, that when the Examiner asked Sega America about the US release date for Yakuza 3 back in June, they’re answer was quite succinct: never.
So how is it this game is finally getting a US release?
Frankly, I don’t have a clue. As the teaser trailer clearly shows, an American release of the game is currently scheduled for March 2010. If I had to take a guess, I’d say Sega is using the three strike rule: “One didn’t sell, two did worse…and we’re still making more of ‘em!” So, if you like this series on any level, get out there and buy a copy in March. Go tell some friends about it. Spread the word. Otherwise this might be the last Yakuza title we see…ever!
NO! i REFUSE! oh wait what was the question?
But you can’t…it’s the Yakuza, Man! They’ll kill and rape your entire family…
in that order!
