Speaking on the official Yakuza forums, Yas Nagouchi, Senior Producer of Sega of America, gave a small snippet of information on a Western release of Yakuza: Kenzan!
In the past, Yas mentioned localisation does take immense time and money, coupled with the fact: "The biggest problem apart from the business issues is technical. It's been several years since we released the game, so it might be very challenging for us to bring the code back from our archives.
On a more positive note, as long as I'm here at SEGA, I'll push to bring more Yakuza titles to the West."
PS: For the record, I touched upon the subject of KENZAN in this thread already in the past. Me personally, I'd like to find a way of making it happen.
