It’s beenrumored non-stopand begged for since the game came out in Japan, but now it’s been backed up by those close to the game:Yakuza 3is coming to the West for all us gaijin to enjoy.1Upgot in touch with some unnamed contacts they have that worked on the game and they have told them thatYakuza 3is indeed being localized for the West as we speak. Well, actually it’s the weekend so they’ll probably get back to work on it tomorrow. Unless they’re doing it in Japan in which case it is tomorrow and then they are working on it right now. I’ve gotten off point.
This is obviously not officially official, and thus the rumortoid, but 1Up is one of those “reliable sources” and we trust them here. It makes sense as we’ve heard mounting rumors and discussion about the game coming, and with TGS rolling up on us we could be seeing an announcement within the week. After all, Sega will betaunting us withYakuza 4at the show, so why not be nice and show us someYakuza 3love.
