Hey Spencer Dinosaur King is more than confirmed by Gamefly, it has a game page on Sega.com

Now we just need a Yakuza 2 page to confirm that.

thanks, I didn’t knew.

I think I’ll still import both, yakuza 1 and 2 from us though.

It’s a story driven game. However, chances are it’ll recap certain things in the sequel (not sure!). Someone who has played the Japanese version can tell you more.

I might consider getting this, does anyone know if having played the first game makes a big importance for the story in the sequel?

I suppose if Sega is going for a complete localization of Yakuza 2 they may neglect to include the original Japanese language track with English subtitles in favor of a English voice track instead as a result, but it would be a pleasant surprise if they did the unthinkable by including both voice acting as an option for those gamers who may prefer to listen to this title in its native tongue due to Yakuza 2’s theme and setting.

One thing I definitely don’t think we really need to worry about though, is the chance of Yakuza 2 missing the boat to the USA as I seriously doubt Sega would just confirm the game for laughs at TGS â€˜07 to the delight of fans such as myself everywhere only to just later cancel Yakuza 2 in 2008 mysteriously without anyone knowing in the slightest.

Awesome. Here’s hoping they just leave the Japanese voices alone. They did it for Shenmue II way back on the DC, they can do it again for this. They must!
