Sega is hurting guys. If you've been reading the news, you've probably been hearing some pretty horrible things Sega is going through right now. They are killing off most of their arcade business in Japan and claimed they will be killing game projects as well. The first announced is the cancellation of the Obsidian developed Aliens RPG. I'm sure this won't be the last of the bad news we will hear about in the coming weeks from Sega.Yakuza 1 sold like shit over here. Yakuza 2 sold even worse. That and Sega would have to spend a fortune localizing Yakuza 3.
So the horrible reality is that there is no financially viable reason for Sega to localize Yakuza 3. At least they don't think so. We need to change their minds.
Ok, normally I hate these things. But fuck it, we have to do something. It has just over 500 signatures, and now it's time to hit 10,000. I'm not sure I would have worded the petition the way this person did, but numbers are all that matters. Every single person who reads this blog needs to sign this. Every single person who watches the broadcast needs to sign this. This is my new project. I will exploit any attention we have ever gotten to achieve this goal. I want this. And I want you to want this.

No place on the internet is safe. You must help me.
If you see a spot that will let you enter text, a link to this petition better be the first thing you type. If you are a part of any message board out there, I want this petition as your signature. If you know people out there who love games, it is your obligation to inform them on this series. Sit their asses down and show them this trailer first.
Use this trailer to get them interested, and then explain to them that the rest of the game is a cross between GTA, Shenmue, beat-em-ups, and Japanese RPGs. Then show them the rest of the trailers. Then you and that person click the link below and both buy copies of Yakuza 2.
