So, Sega confirms at E3 that the US release of Yakuza 2 will show up the
second week of September. Go find your own link, I'm on a VT100 terminal
emulator right now. Smile

I wanted to ask, did anybody out there finish the game? I remember Ted,
Ben, and Scott indicating that they were going to pick it up. I have to
admit that I left the game hanging a mission or two into the chapter where
you've opened up the underground beneath the public park. That was about
when Phantasy Star Universe picked up for me, not that it's much of an
excuse. Anyway, I'm strongly motivated to wrap this up now that we know
for sure that the western markets will see the sequel.

-KKC, who wonders if an Xbox 360 port is a glimmer in someone's eye.

I don't know why Sega wouldn't port Yakuza to the 360, it seemed to do
wonders for Phantasy Star Universe. I never did pick this one up.
Reasons being I can't tolerate the F-bomb being dropped that much in my
own home, I didn't ever get around to finishing Blood Will Tell or
Shinobi, and uh, well that's all.

nah.. didn't get far at all, just the first fight at the nightclub.
Found it not my cup of tea.

if it is, they've got some making up to do. Kenzan has been out for
months already on the PS3, and Yakuza 3 has already been announced as
well

I did; played through it twice! I really dug it. Of course it
brought back alot of memories of Shenmue but I liked that the action
was a lot more frequent, even though it could be repeatitive at
times. The whole Heat battle mechanic added alot to it for me.

Got the 2nd one reserved (haven't reserved a game in I don't know how
long), so needless to say I'm pretty excited about it. I don't really
know why it took two years for this to come out in the States, I
understand that this one will only be subbed and not dubbed.

Saw a blurb that said Shenmue cost $70 million to produce Yakuza still
cost $20 million, not small potatoes by any means!
