I wasn’t planning to post anything tonight, but this news was just too exciting for me not to write about. It seems that Sega will be releasing Yakuza 2 in Europe after all. They have been quiet over this for so long, that Yakuza 3 has already been released in Japan. I’m certainly not going to complain however, as Yakuza was one of my favourite games of the past few years and I’m certainly happy that I’m going to be able to play the sequel. Now all I need to do is convince a few more people that they should buy it and we should hopefully get the third installment a little faster.
Excellent. I didn’t actually finish Yakuza, but it was an awesome game, and something quite different, which is nice nowadays. I think that’s probably what put people off though. I expect Japanese gangsters aren’t quite as appealing as the ones portrayed in games such as GTA.
Ah well, look forward to checking this out when it finally surfaces.
