But Yakuza 3's director, Daisuke Sato, has said that the game's controls would be tweaked if the game were to get a European or North American release. “For the western version of Yakuza: Of..

There was a point in the Nintendo Wii's lifespan where the console was dominating the sales charts but disappointing hardcore gamers

Our first glimpse of Kurohyou 2 Ryu ga Gotoku (or Yakuza: Black Panther 2) is a familiar affair, as it looks almost identical to the original Black Panther
