Amazon lists Yakuza 3 for western release in March?


Recommended Posts

- March 12 for Europe

- Sega published

- 18+ USK rating

- There seems to be at least a German dub as it says the language twice but that could just be default

There was also a rumour about March earlier.

However March next year = WTF? GT5/God of War 3/Final Fantasy 13

Wait, I thought this game had no chance in hell of coming to Europe. Yakuza 1 and 2 did poorly here!
"The original news story that went around about Yakuza 3 being declined for the US was false, and localizing the game still remains a big point of discussion for many people here at SEGA, and especially those of us on SEGA's community team." "I know it's far from an announcement, but I just felt you should know that the chance does still exist."

They probably finally realized no marketing at all = no sales. Like how Yakuza 2 was handled, but releasing it years after it came out probably wasn't a good idea either. Maybe also seen how Atlus took Demons Souls, which was already heavily imported due to it being in English, and still managed 150k in it's first month due to good advertising to the core audience for that genre.

Okay cool, I look forward to this game getting released then if it is true (Y)

Yes they do need to do more marketing but if its going to be released in March, other games such as FF13 and GT5 will get the attention! Maybe release earlier?
