The previous Japan-only Yakuza 3 looks like it’s heading our way next year, if this Amazon listing holds any weight.  The game, which will be published by SEGA, will be with us in March 2010 (over a year after its native release) accompanied by an 18 certificate, at least in Germany.

We’ll chase SEGA for comment now.

Update: SEGA have replied to TheSixthAxis, but our representative has no further information on the title or its appearance on Amazon.

  1. These rumors have been floating about for a LONG time, which makes it much more credible…


  2. YakaWhatWhat??? What is it?


    • Yeh, what is it? :S


      • The Yakuza are the Japanese Mafia.
        And Yakuza 3 is a highly acclaimed japan based GTA variant.


      • Sounds good to me :)


      • cool, i’ll find a demo on youtube


      • mafia gta sounds good to me


  3. Awesome-o.

  5. Hell yes! Day 1!


  6. goodbye god of war


  7. FUCK YEAH!


  8. Cool this looks like a good game!


  9. Been very (im)patiently waiting for this news for months now, there’s been talk of a port for ages. Alongside Demon’s Souls as the best Asian title available on the system supposedly.


  10. Anyone know if this will be seeing a release on the other side of the atlantic. Yakuza 4 looks like it’ll come out before the US gets this. Kinda like White Knight Chronicles, then.


  11. Wooooooo. I started up a thread regarding the Europe absence of this game. Glad to hear we are still getting it. :)


  12. Aaaaw man, when I read the title I was about to shout HOLY F*ING YES!. But this isn’t confirmed, so still :(


  13. So only GoW3, GT5, FF13 and now Yakuza 3 in march? They know how to stuff all the great titles all into one month eh?

    just that they had no information?


    • yup.


      • ah well.
        well any sign that it might be coming is encouraging.
        played the first on and quite liked it, seemed to be very much like shenmue but without the QTEs and more fighting, so it was pretty good :)
