Ignition Entertainment to publish Yakuza 3?

Examiner: 1UP recently revealed that Yakuza 3 is coming to Europe and North America. They also hinted that Sega may not be the publisher for the game in the western regions. So who could be the mysterious publisher behind localizing Yakuza 3?

My guess would actually be Atlus. They seem to be doing a great fan service with the games they give to the west. They just recently picked up Demon's Souls so I wouldn't be surprised if they did this too.

He was always my favorite at 1up. If he pulls this off it would be outstanding.

I don't care who publishes it so long as it comes, comes soon, and has the original audio.

Well that is the question. Whether we get dubs, subs, or both. I have my preferences but either way - day 1 purchase.

What worries me is that people actually buy it this time, yakuza has always been a good example of the online vocal community just not having the buying power, in north america at least.

Agreed, I don't care who brings it here, I just WANT it. I'd agree with an above post, I'd see Atlus bringing this over to NA. Albeit I think whoever brings it here will leave the Japanese language track intact and will just have the subtitles translated.

Smart move by the publisher. They know they're going to earn big bucks from this.

Would love for this to come to 360, game looks ace, tho by the time it hits, i'll more than likely have a ps3 anyway. Never played the other 2, would be nice to have HD remakes and release as a trilogy

why do you want to play it downgraded? Check the list for amount of content, audio and graphics.

Can't wait for this game.....already played Yakuza 1 and 2.....but they haven't say anything about KENZAN......does any1 think that asking for a Yakuza 3 + KENZAN bundle would be too much??????

BTW

Could this game suffer from censorship???? I hope they leave the game as it is and we can play the full unrated version

Would make sense... Shane used to work for 1Up, now he works for Ignition, so he would be in the ideal spot to leak this info.

Heh, I would still be happy if they didn't. I just want to play this game and understand it.
