Confirmed Arrival - 2/23 - Big Title Next Week - Ryu Ga Gotoku - Yakuza 3 - PS3

-from wikipedia-
Ryū ga Gotoku 3 (龍が如く3) is the fourth installment in the Yakuza video game series, developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 video game console. The game will be released in Japan and South East Asia on February 26, 2009. According to a January 2009 interview with videogaming247's Mike Borden, a western release is unlikely

Unlike Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! (often confused with Yakuza 3), which was a spinoff, this latest installment will continue the adventures of Kiryu Kazuma from Yakuza and Yakuza 2. The game will take place both in Kamuro-cho (fictional version of Tokyo's Kabuki-cho) from the first two games and in Okinawa.

Ryū ga Gotoku 3 takes a departure from the first two games with its choice of setting: instead of focusing on the gritty cityscape of Tokyo, it switches gears and sends Kiryu to the tropical island of Okinawa, where he runs a center for orphaned children with his adoptive daughter Haruka. The orphanage is on land that is owned by Shigeru Nakahara, a boss over a mob known as the Ryudo Ikka. Nakahara is under pressure from the country's government to sell the land. Kiryu once again finds himself in a series of tough situations.
