So we still need the address. Damn!

I really hope whoever does Shenmue HD has the common sense to not release the games in a lazy port with no changes to controls. I remember what happened when Jet Set Radio HD came out and the reaction wasn't good. But Shenmue isn't a platformer like JSR and has no obligation to keep the same contro...

Nope. It'd be nice if Cedric could be there for the gift. If he can't that's fine. We can send one to the Shibuya Productions at a later date.

Yeah, I'll take what I can get. A remake situation would obviously be ideal, especially if they could do something about the English voice acting (it WILL be off putting to new fans), but I'll still be happy if we get Shenmue 1/2 HD. I honestly have not played either game in years, so it'll be nice...

Maybe. Someone please tweet Cedric and ask when the next time he will be in Japan to check up on game.

Hmmm. So a remaster would be the best thing to get. Not that I'm complaining.

By modern standards, how likely would a Yakuza Kiwami situation be? The games were ahead of their time at the time, but would a remake of 1 and 2 be remotely possible? Someone like Kidnocon recreated the environments with modern tech pretty easily, at least for 1.

Sounds like a plan. If we mail it directly from the online shop that might make it hard to have that card customized in a personal manner. So we might have to go with a generic card if it's available.

Got ya. Let's get all of the logistics out of the way.

Do we mail the gifts to Ys net or do we have someone like Switch show up and deliver them for us?

That Amazing Sega ad made me proud to be a Sega fan.

I'll see about setting up a Gofundme tonight. Last night I was busy.

Fruit in itself is considered a luxury item in Japan.

Combined with the wine and it's the perfect gift.

I think it's highly likely to be Blit. Jet Set Radio HD was fantastic and they've expressed a lot of interest doing an HD version of Shenmue. I think most of us wanted Blit anyways, if Bluepoint couldn't make it Blit was always considered the number 1 or 2 pick to do it. I know for me at least, I a...

Hey everyone, just checking in an... holy mother-chedding smokes! I was only gone for 24hrs! :p But a few things come to mind (warning: heavy speculation): How would this CEO know of this sweet intel? Let's think of his connections shall we: he ports games, therefore may know of other independent p...
