These developers are aware that like all other years, 2010 has 12 months as well?

THEN WHY THE HECK IS EVERYTHING BEING RELEASED IN MARCH?!!
FF13 / God Of War 3/ Just Cause 2/ many more...And now Yakuza 3!

And note these aren't "play and complete in 7 hours" games....Oh man.
March I will stop eating (so I can buy these games) and fail life even more (so I can give them the time they deserve).

Anyway, thanks SEGA....*grumble fucking march grumble*

I don't know how to answer the vague first question but for your 2nd question:

We are [well i am at least] excited because Yakuza 1 and Yakuza 2 were one of the best games on the PS2 (think of it is an alternate Shenmue..if you havent played Shenmue either...um, yeah..) and the Yakuza 3 demo (from the Japanese store) was freakin' amazing (strictly gameplay wise of course since I didn't understand anything else).

I remember grabbing a guy and kicking him through a shop window in the demo (in PS2 they just bounced off of glasses) and I was immediately in love.

shenmue but with compelling gameplay. great story too.

it's basically a JRPG, but instead of typical JRPG combat, you get a streets of rage style brawler. it's awesome.

Great story? Just like that? Awesome story, and awesome cutscenes matching the best out there (MGS4?)
