Yakuza 5 petition asks Sega to localise gangster RPG
A new fan campaign has been launched to try and pressure Sega into producing a localisation for the PlayStation 3-exclusive Yakuza 5. All previous games in the series have been released in the west, usually after a long delay, and in very small quantities – so it’s a fair bet that we can expect some decision on the December 2012 Japan release soon. It’s also worth noting that Sega itself uses social networks to gauge interest in localisations. Do the Like and Share thing here.
Thanks, Gematsu.

Yakuza 5 trailers retain Nagoshi’s signature bombast
The Yakuza series has a long narrative tail, spelled out in dramatic cut-scenes.
