Yakuza 3 Coming West in March 2010

For some, this will be the most exciting news of the rest of this year, maybe even the last few months. After a long period of rumors and hoping, Yakuza 3 is finally coming stateside. The game will not be dubbed in English, but will instead feature the original Japanese voice cast and be subtitled for our benefit.

The game has been critically acclaimed in the Japanese market, but many feared it would never make it over here because of lackluster sales of the last installment on this side of the Pacific. Apparently the fans were rabid enough to persuade Sega and Sony that this was not the case. And now, all you PS3 owners will be lucky enough to get a North American copy of Yakuza 3.

The Yakuza will be invading the U.S. in March.

Update: Announcement trailer after the jump.
