Yakuza 4 heads East in March 2010

It may seem like just yesterday that we learned the release date for
Yakuza 3, but that's only because it was. Just one day after Sega finally announced a Western release for Kazuma Kiryu's third adventure, the Japanese side of the company demonstrated just
how far in the future it lives, by announcing a release date for the
fourth game. And both release dates are in the same month.
Specifically,
Yakuza 4 arrives in Japan on March 18. That means, if you don't mind reading Japanese, you can be exactly one
Yakuza game better than everyone else. A whole new group of
hostesses awaits! As do some new playable characters. In addition to Kazuma, this game features three other playable mobsters, each with a separate storyline.
