August 29th Edit: Kikizo's Adam Doree has told us that we should
NOT expect an official announcement at TGS (Tokyo Game Show) next month, because it's just too soon. Actually, we're told that an official announce may not even reach us in 2005 at all. So no one get excited for any official news in the really near future.
Their update is now up! It IS about Shenmue III, just as we suspected! According to Kikizo, Shenmue III does exist and IS planned for release!

Haha, they used a picture from my current wallpaper of
Ryo with a sword.
Edit again: Just let me stress again that Kikizo/Adam Doree are very reliable. Adam has a rather long history in reporting videogame news, and he's definitely not the kind of person to post info unless it's examined thoroughly. So trust us, there's no need to disbelieve what Adam says.

Incase you're one of those people who do not visit the main page often, this forum topic should catch your attention.
All right, some of you may know of the website
Kikizo.com. Kikizo is a videogame website (and a reliable one) just like IGN, Gamespot, etc. However, most of Kikizo's staff (especially Adam Doree) really love Shenmue, unlike places like Gamespot. Anyway, the Dojo staff recently got e-mails from Adam, telling us all to expect a report on their site which would be "of interest to you all!" This is very exciting because he's never e-mailed us like this before, and I doubt he'd do it for Shenmue Online news. We think that it must have something to do with Shenmue III, so let's cross our fingers and keep a look out!
