From what I recall, there haven't been any official announcements regarding Kenzan/Yakuza 3, but the impression I got from interviews and other things is that they do want to bring it out. Yakuza 2 has been announced for the US and Europe for 2008.

For game translations, there are quite a few of them out there. One of them who I came to know about recently is TransGen, who recently put out a beta patch for an English translation of NamcoXCapcom. Most of them seem focused more on the older games from the <32 bit days.

Generally though, if a foreign game is popular enough, there will be guides on Gamefaqs. While not exactly a full translation and far more cumbersome than just having subtitles on the screen, they sometimes give you a decent description of the story as it happens. There is one for Kenzan on there now.

Wow,thanks a lot!!I checked Gamefaqs before but there wasn't any then.Hmm,i wonder if they'll keep the Japanese voices IF they release it in the west.With all this talk about the capacity of Blue Ray discs it's a shame that developers don't include the option for original language support (MGS4).It would be terrible for a game like Yakuza 3 to have english voice overs no matter how good they may be...I guess i should just import it.

Btw,Inazuma Eleven looks amazing,it could be the perfect game for a friend of mine (his main interests are Anime and Soccer).It also reminded me a lot of Shaolin Soccer

Hoping to spend alot of time on Dragon Quest IX, and the Last Remnant has me really interested, i'll definately be picking that one up. But with so many good games coming out this year, I doubt I'll even be done with FFIV or TA2 on the DS before I get ready for the next round of RPGs. Not to mention the Sonic game for the DS, too.

Fallout 3, without question. I've been waiting ten years for this game.

[Rase]

Fallout 3. Thank goodness my new roommate will have a 360.

[Jowy]

Wrath of the Lich King, yea.

[Karellen]

I would be more exited about Fallout 3 if it wasn't a series that thrives on dialog being developed by a publisher known for anything but.

I guess if worse comes to worst we'll still get a post-apocalyptic Oblivion.

Even if the game is an Oblivion clone the pipboy bobble head that comes with the special edition will more than make up for this.

I'd actually be horrified if it was an Oblivion clone but I'm willing to give Bethesda the benefit of the doubt.
