View Full Version : Yakuza 2 US release confirmed
Well it's about damn time, Yakuza 2 has finally been confirmed to be released. I really didn't expect this to happen, since Yakuza went almost unnoticed when it was released.

I've been wanting to try out Yakuza for a while, but I don't want to pay fifty bucks for the game. >_>
Good to see the sequel's coming out.

That is awesome news!
I have never played Yakuza, I need to pick up a copy soon, I can't wait to see what Yakuza 3 will look like on the PS3 as well. :)

thank god! For a minute there I thought I was going to be deprived of this game! The first one is excellent! Someone should bring the movie over here to on DVD! Now if only they'd finish the shenmue series!!!

Awesome, out of the games i beat this year, Yakuza was easily in the top half of the heap of games when it comes to enjoyment. I heard Yakuza 2 is supposed to be a lot better so I am esctatic to see it confirmed for US release.

WHOOHOO!! This is great.
Now we get to experience to 45 minute opening movie!
The first game was amazing, and I'd just about given up all hope on the sequel getting released here.

The first game was great! Most stores still sell it new for $29.99 as well.

Because I didn't want to get into the first game and then find out there's a missing sequel in the far East.

I'm actually just playing through the first one now, and for anyone that hasn't tried it yet, you need to get it NOW! The game is incredible. Can't wait now for the second one.

I'm so HAPPY... I've been playing the Japanese version on and off for the last 6 months!

This news kicks ass. Yakuza can be found cheap nowadays. Doesn't Yakuza 2 have a movie that explains the story from the first game? I believe the original Japanese voice acting will remain with English subtitles. There's no need to hire expensive Hollywood actors to do the voices like from the first game. Having the voices in Japanese is much more authentic. It is a Yakuza game after all. Anyway, I still don't have a PS2 but I hope to get one by the time Yakuza 2 is released. I'll have fun picking up all of the titles I missed out on.

Nice, I'm looking forward to this after seeing the third trailer. I'll have to play the first.

It better have Japanese this time. Why do they do big expensive dubs on games that probably aren't going to sell that huge to begin with, especially when they go for the japanophile demographic who would want subs anyway? sdlkfhsajfhsjag
But damn I'm glad it's happening.

I'm glad this is confirmed also. I've been playing the first one recently and its a good game and nice to see that they're letting us Westerners get the next part. Hopefully the Miike Takeshi films will get subbed and released also.
