More Yakuza 3 screens reveal Karoake mini game N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Yakuza 3
PS3 - Yakuza 3 - More Yakuza 3 screens reveal Karoake mini game VG247: Sega has released yet more Ryu ga Gotoku 3 (Yakuza 3) screenshots revealing what appears to be a Karaoke mini-game.

There's a girl standing up singing, some text on the screen and some icon prompts below it.

If that doesn't get you excited, maybe if we tell you you see our white-suited friend standing in a restaurant doing nothing, that'll get your juices flowing.

Maybe one day we'll be able to write that Yakuza will be due out sometime in the West. Today however, is not that day.

American release of next Yakuza titles is questionable N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Yakuza 3
PS3 - Yakuza 3 - American release of next Yakuza titles is questionable With Yakuza Kenzan! being out in Japan for almost a year and Yakuza 3 right around the bend, neither with an announced American release date, we got in touch with Sega about the future of the franchise abroad. The answer Sega gave us does not bode well, saying "We currently don't know what the future of the Yakuza franchise is for North America". The rep we talked to did say, optimistically, that he hoped the games would continue to be released in the US.

Yakuza 3: Dress Up Your Hostess Girls N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Yakuza 3
PS3 - Yakuza 3 - Yakuza 3: Dress Up Your Hostess Girls Ripten: "I have never played any of the Yakuza series, but from what I gather they sound a lot like the GTA games, which makes sense. They both deal with mobs, violence, and sex. New screens and info about Yakuza 3 let us move into the somewhat seedy and dangerous world of the hostess bar."

Famitsu reveals Yakuza 3 battle system details N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Yakuza 3
PS3 - Yakuza 3 - Famitsu reveals Yakuza 3 battle system details ps3 fanboy write: Famitsu (translation via IGN) has unveiled in its latest issue details regarding the battle system of Yakuza 3. One of the major improvements is seamless transitions into fights. Another note-worthy addition is the foes you encounter may decide to run away from you (and vice versa, if you are chicken) -- you now have to option to engage in a "chase battle" to pursuit the enemy. This "chase battle" involves keeping your enemy in sight with your mini map and avoiding any obstacles that may appear in your path.

A "tag tournament mode" was also shown in the gaming magazine's pages. Your character enters a fighting arena where you must team up with a partner (whether this is a CPU partner or something else isn't clear) to unleash some co-op attacks on your enemies.

The last iteration of the Yakuza franchise on the PS3 sold fairly well over in Japan. Unfortunately, it hasn't received a stateside release (yet) -- here's to hoping Sega will bring both Yakuza games over to the Western market.
