Speaking of excellent games coming out of Japan, word is that we may see U.S. and Europe releases of Ryu ga Gotoku as well:

The fighting system looks pretty decent, but it's the highly-lauded story that seems to be the big draw.  Given the subject matter, perhaps subtitles would be the better way to go, as opposed to dub work?

Forget about that, when are we going to get Shenmue III already!?

I've been playing through both Shenmue's lately, and this series is just SCREAMING for a sequel. RIGHT NOW!

Speaking of which - here's some news: The Shenmue passport on DC has been reactivated after 4 years of being dead. Something is going on with Shenmue.

Rya go is better than Shenmue.

It's coming to the US as Yakuza.
