I guess the word’s out thatI’m excited aboutYakuza 3. Here’s how I know: when word got out that a Japanese PlayStation Network demo was coming, my inbox exploded. Personal emails said things like “Dude, Dale!Yakuza 3, PSN!” and “Hey, you never return my emails” or “hey, are you ever going to do that thing that I asked you to do?” or “account XXXX3350 is overdue.”

Naturally, I deleted them all except the ones aboutYakuza 3. Sorry to friends, colleagues and bill collectors.

Now’s the time to do that thing. You know, that thing we do to get the demos that Japan’s PSN gets. Tonight. You’ll want to do that tonight, as theYakuzaseries makes its PS3 debut on February 19th, Japan time.

Destructoid community bloggerunangbangkay does a fantastic jobof telling you why you should try out theYakuza 3demo today. My favorite quote from his excited post:

IT HAS SOUL PATCHES. DID YOU KNOW THE GEARS GUYS ALL HAVE SOUL PATCHES? WELL, THIS GUY IS BETTER, BECAUSE HE HAS A LEISURE SUIT AND RAD SHOES.

Rad shoes, indeed. We’ll be back tomorrow morning with our impressions.
