Yakuza 5 Campaign UPDATED 29/08/2014
Dear reader,
If I may could I direct your attention to this petition here, it is a petition requesting that Sega localize Ryu Ga Gotoku 5 or Yakuza 5 as it would be know here.
For any of you familiar with myself or members of the blog we hold the Ryu Ga Gotoku series in especially high regard, myself I am currently working on 2 related articles with more of a series planned for the future.
So far all Sega have had to say on the subject of this and the latest title (Ishin) is that there is no word on them, they have said in the past there is no budget for it as the team are very small that create this masterpieces.
A rumour back in Feb of this year was that ATLUS are actually translating Yakuza 5 for Sega but since that leaked it was neither confirmed or denied which is a shame as that would be outstanding news for a series that seems to be forgotten.
The most common theory is Sega has dropped localisations for the series after Dead Souls & Binary Domain didn't meet sales figures, this seems daft as Dead Souls was a spin off that is commonly thought of as the weakest entry and Binary Domain though an absolutely outstanding game, was held back due to generic graphic design and lack of advertisement.
A little research into this shows that Yakuza: Dead Souls sold 550,000 copies worldwide, looking around for figures for Yakuza 4 and it's estimated that it sold 0.90 million units worldwide, the differences between spin off and main are very apparent.
So please click the link, sign the petition and show Sega there is still a strong market for Ryu Ga Gotoku!

Otaku Feature: Kenzan Diary #3
Diary Entry #3.
So it's once again been a fair bit of time between this and the previous entry, this is due to having reviews to focus on and I wanted to spend a little more time with Kenzan! to make this a little more of an interesting read.

Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia Re:Birth (PSVita)
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
Hyperdimension Neptunia, the sweet heart of IF and niche gamers everywhere. The first title by rights should of been the nail in the series coffin, outstanding and amusing idea coupled with tiresome gameplay which sleep inducing battles would of meant death for lesser series but NepNep's charm shone through and as such the world has been blessed with a smorgasbord of Neptune related titles.
Though originally a PS3 title Nep has recently made her move to Vita with Producing Perfect & now with latest title RE:BIRTH1, complete remaking of the original title using the VICTORY engine. How will Neptune's original outing rate in comparison to the original and does it stand up against it's console titles?.
