Anyone who is slightly interested in the third installment of the Yakuza series, Yakuza 3, which is released today in NA and due for release on the 12th in the EU region will have noticed the different (and in my opinion, horrible) cover given for the EU/NA release. Perhaps this is because of SEGA’s desire to appeal to Western market (really don’t see how it does), or maybe its because Europe’s strong anti-smoking stance, where even a virtual character smoking a cigarette casually on a cover of an 18-rated game is enough to cause a national outbreak? Who knows, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the reason though.
