Yakuza 2 to be on one disk
by George on September 5th, 2008
For those of you not in the know, Yakuza 2 in Japan was released on 2 single layered DVD disks, but for the USA and Europe release of the game it will come in a single dual layer disk. Sega’s Kevin Frane tells Siliconera:
The Japanese version was originally released on two DVDs, while the U.S. version will be released on a single, dual-layer DVD. In terms of actual content, however, nothing has been cut from the original Japanese version.
This is good news for lazy people (me) and people who have a faulty PS2 that gives them disk read errors everytime they insert a game (also me). Other things in the Silconera interview include why they left the original Japanese track. The game will also have all the license brands and Japanese products that where in the Japanese release, unlike Shenmue that had Coca-Cola replaced in the west with Jet Cola.
Yakuza 2 will be released on September 9th in the United States and on September 28th in Europe. Make sure to pick up your copy.
[Edit: According to the great knowledge database that is Wikipedia, it states that the game is out in Europe on September 28th. However Sega Europe has told us that it is actually out on September 19th in Europe. Not sure who you guys believe - but I’d be looking in shops on the 19th ;o) ]
