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.

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

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

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.

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.

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
