Okay, whoa there boy, whoa *tries to keep inner fanboy in check*.

I have some good news, Yakuza 3 apparently did well enough in the West to warrant Sega bringing Yakuza 4 over here too.

This is quite frankly, ass-shatteringly awesome news.

Boasting similar gameplay to Yakuza 3, the fourth installment in Sega’s popular (see, I can say that now) allows players to assume four different Yakuza members instead of just the series’ hero, Kazauma Kiryu.

For all of you who supported Yakuza 3 when it was thought it would never get a release, give yourself a pat on the back.

More details will be revealed at E3 where the game is expected to get it’s first Western showing.

Cannot. Wait.

In other news however, I hope this bodes well for the recently announced PSP installment of the Yakuza series.

With any luck that’ll find it’s way to our shores too.
