Do you work at a game store or like to pretend you do? Well now you can play this on those television sets they have there on repeat and pretend you live in Japan.

SEGA held this same type of competition for Yakuza 4, which was very popular contest receiving over 1,500 applications. They narrowed it down to 7 girls who appeared in the game, now women all over Japan will have another shot, this time for Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapater on PSP.
Applications will be accepted till June 27th, if you clear the first round you will appear in front of judges in Osaka or Tokyo in early July. The final winners will appear at TGS and “other promotional activities.” Check out the official page for more information. Above is a video featuring porn star Ryo, who was one of the winners in the last competition. She should tone her voice done a bit.

I guess we will call the game, Black Panther here instead of Black Leopard, even if the game has no official US name. We already know with the last trailer, that the lead character Tatsuya Ukyou accidentally kills Naoki Toda, a high ranking Tojo Clan member. What we did not know is that Ukyo was planning on leaving Kamurocho after the killing, but was attacked by some men that knocked him out with a stun gun.
When Ukyo was unconscious they took him to Dragon Heat, an underground fighting arena that is ran by the Tojo Clan’s Kuki family. There is a big fight going on, two fighters are going at it, Takeru and Ryu. Takeru is powerful, but loses because of Ryu’s dead on hits. Uyko is then approached by the manager, Ryutaro Kuki, telling him if he joins Dragon Heat he will overlook the death of Naoki Toda.
All the shops you expect will be included, hostess bars will be there and there plays to be over 100 side quests. Just because its on the small screen does not mean it will be a small game.

Seems that SEGA’s Valkyria Chronicles 2 will get a ‘side story’ manga in Japan. The first issue hits store shelves this Friday, the 28th. Seems that SEGA Japan is not done promoting Valkyia Chronicles 2 over there, after it released this last Fall. This is how you support a game.
Seems that the manga will be called “Valkyria Chronicles 2: Our Only Days”, sounds catchy to me. Wonder if SEGA West will be releasing it here? Doubt it.

Sega Japan has released a new trailer for (Hatsune Miku) Project Diva 2, the trailer is 100% CGI and it’s beautifully made.
Project Diva 2 is the PSP sequel to the popular 2009 music game Project Diva featuring everyone’s favourite Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku. Apparently there is also an Arcade version called ‘Project Diva Arcade’ and a PS3 adaptation on the way too.
As for the trailer, I wonder if Sega’s very own VE Studios could be involved. Those guys that made the 2008 short film ‘Night of the Werehog’ staring Sonic. They are clearly very talented. This looks like their work!
For some reason, I thought SEGA already made this announcement. Not the Fall 2010 date, but the “it is coming west.” Seriously, I was expecting a summer release date.
Fall? A bit too close to heavy hitters, no? If it is coming this fall, I hope SEGA at least tries to market it. Protip: make ‘pirates’ and people that buy it used pay for a key to play online. Piracy on PSP is really bad and I want the game to do well.
Press release after the break
The new trailer for Black Leopard: New Yakuza Chapter is almost clocking in at 6 minutes, tells the story of the upcoming spin-off PSP game.
The trailer shows off how the cutscenes will be played off in the full game. Wondering what the trailer is saying? Well, hit the jump to read the translation, provided by the guys over at AndriaSang.com. Also a look at the voice talent.
Toshihiro Nagoshi has finally given his PSP Yakuza title a name. He has said it would not be named Ryu Ga Gotaku (Yakuza’s name in Japan, meaning “Like a Dragon”).
So what is it called? “Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinshou,” which can be translated to “Black Leopard: A New Yakuza Chapter” (or “A New Like a Dragon Chapter”).
The game is also coming out on September 22nd, in Japan. SEGA has not revealed if they will be bringing the title to the west. Japanese readers that pre-order the game will recieve a copy of “Young Kamutai Magazine,” a fictional travel guide to the game’s fictional setting of Kamurocho.

No joke, the game is on PSP and it seems (from screens) that it will end up looking better than Yakuza 2! Got to give it up to the team working on the game.
Also the Official Project K teaser site has now been launched. The message says the game has been revealed (this we know) and that it will take place in the Yakuza universe, but going to be something different. The site teases May 13th, we assume an update on the site will be made on this day.
Hit the jump to see some artwork.
You saw the scans below, with all the Japanese writing. Well, in the magazine they talked to playboy Toshihiro Nagoshi about the upcoming PSP game. First thing we know is that the game will take place in Kamurocho (inspired by Tokyo’s Shinjuku).
The obvious? The game will not be called Project K, that is a place holder at the moment. He did say that the game won’t be like any other Yakuza game before it and will not be called “Ryu ga Gotoku”. He did mention using it as a subtitle though.
After debuting on the PSP and ranking sale numbers, SEGA took their Project Diva to the arcades; but now it returns back to the PSP. Shown in this months Famitsu (scans above) is Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd.
Oh man, I know you are all excited for this one!
