Good news, eh papajag? Same goes for all you guys looking to play the game.

Here’s the post from Aaron Webber:

UNCyrus – let me brighten your day first off by confirming something big:

Yakuza 3 is not cancelled – and the possibility for localizing it does, in fact, still exist.

The original news story that went around about Yakuza 3 being declined for the US was false, and localizing the game still remains a big point of discussion for many people here at SEGA, and especially those of us on SEGAÂ’s community team.I know itÂ’s far from an announcement, but I just felt you should know that the chance does still exist.

Thanks for supporting SEGA and quality games like Valkyria Chronicles – I’ll be around with more news on VC/VC2 soon!

Well, there you have it. We’ll keep you posted once more pertinent info comes along.
