Yakuza 3 trailer takes you on a trip
One of the best things about the Yakuza series is its detailed reconstruction of Tokyo. The exact details might be fictionalized, but Yakuza’s Kabukicho still feels like taking a walk in the genuine article. Yakuza 3 is an even more convincing replica of Tokyo (and also Okinawa!) thanks to the increased detail capable in the PlayStation 3.
Soak in the atmosphere in this new trailer, set to a stirring karaoke performance by protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Yakuza 3 will be available March 9, at which point you’ll be able to explore virtual Tokyo for yourself — except for the hostess clubs.

Yakuza 3 loses hostess clubs, quiz game in Western release
There’s a good chance that many of you were going to play through Yakuza 3 without messing with the hostess club segments or the Answer x Answer arcade quiz game. Now, it’s a certainty.
“The content between Yakuza 3 US/UK and Yakuza JP is a little different in that we took out certain bits in order to bring the game to the west in the time alloted for us to do so,” a Sega rep told IGN. “The parts we ended up taking out were parts that we felt wouldn’t make sense (like a Japanese history quiz game) or wouldn’t resonate as much (such as the concept of a hostess club).”
You may have gone on a karaoke date with Rina in the demo. In the original game, you meet her in a hostess club, and have to buy her gifts and learn about her in conversations. Now, we suppose, she’ll just randomly call you like she did in the demo. Somehow, the dating won’t be affected, as the Sega rep assured IGN that “the story experience was the same as the Japanese version.”
Who can blame Sega for cutting some of the more culturally Japanese elements from this role-playing game about modern Japanese culture? After all, it must have been in a rush to release on the same day as Final Fantasy XIII.

Meet the yakuza in new Yakuza 3 trailer
The latest trailer for Yakuza 3 (after the break) purportedly introduces the characters in the upcoming PS3 crime drama, but unless you’re already familiar with the series, it’s going to be a bunch of incomprehensible Japanese names, listed by affiliation with incomprehensibly-named crime families. However, if you take it as a few minutes of badasses glowering (and taking care of children) and slapping dudes, it’s pretty entertaining.
If you’re in Europe, you can step into Kazuma Kiryu’s shoes right now with the demo. With any luck, North America will be able to join you in those increasingly crowded shoes later today.
