The PSP exclusive Yakuza: Black Panther (also Black Panther: Yakuza New Chapter) or as its known in Japan Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinshou came out way back in September 2010.
2017 is a big year for the Yakuza series! Yakuza 0 was released back on January 24, and now Yakuza Kiwami is coming to the PlayStation 4 on August 29. Now is the perfect time to get into the series. But before people do, they may be wondering what they should know about these games. Cue an extensive explanation!
That it's an awesome series, and that it's not like GTA at all (something many people assume when they first see it).
You need to know that if you are curious about the series, go out and buy a Yakuza 0. You may thank me later.
That it's amazing? Didn't even know the series exist until the release of Yakuza 0. At that time I have nothing to play to I gave it a try. And wow the story is just amazing. It's so interesting that I didnt even do any side missions or side content of the game.
If you're reading this and you still didn't get to play Yakuza. I recommend you play it. The story is 11 out of 10.
Sega just released a batch of screenshots and renders featuring the traditional Hostesses that will be included in Yakuza Black Panther 2, that will be released for the PSP in Japan next spring.
Yakuza's first venture to PSP has little to no chance of making it stateside, and now a sequel is in the works. Is the West missing out on anything? PlayStation LifeStlye's Heath Hindman has played through it and is ready to report in this import review of Kuryohyou: Ryu Ga Gotoku Shinshou, or "Black Panther: Yakuza New Chapter."

Sucks that this was basically a necessary evil of moving the series to PSP. Now there's a sequel announced and I wish it were on Vita so that this could be remedied and more non-story content could fit in. Aw well.
Sega should put this and the eventual part 2 in a bundle package for Vita sometime shortly after holiday 2012.
I hope it will come stateside, after playing Yakuza 3 and currently playing Yakuza 4 i gotta say i love the series.
Sega 2012! comeon
Respect!
Amazing work. Always wanted to Play this
