Great news, fans: Yu Suzuki has kindly agreed on principle to release the source code for the Sega Saturn prototype of Shenmue, on the condition that we create one thread here on the Shenmue Dojo forum to act as a petition. This is that thread! If we can get just 25 unique signatures below, that sou...
They really need to promote it more and contact the gaming media to see if they will run pieces on this. Maybe even some of the more general Sega fansites... Just saying... again. The only places I've seen it posted are on Facebook and in Shenmue groups, which is preaching to the converted really.....
okay, but if you order on the slacker backer page now (with paypal), then you will receive the items that are shown next to the description right? and i'm talking about a completely new purchase, no upgrade or something like that. Right. what were the kickstarter exclusive items? Items listed on th...
I think it's best to avoid feeling too sentimental about the current forum software. If the Dojo had always looked and functioned like this from the start, then that would be one thing.

There are one or two things in Yakuza 0 that might draw a double take from Shenmue fans. I'm currently playing Yakuza 6. I've been playing the series since its debut on PS2, and it's a thrill to be able to explore parts of Kamurocho in more depth (5 had taken a step back from 4 in that respect). I ...
I wish I could of upgraded from my $300 package to the $500 one. so I bought a few extra digital copies. Well, here's something you might want to try. From these two threads on Facebook, it seems you can get around the $250 upgrade limit by asking Fangamer to combine multiple accounts, regardless o...
Their line about new hardware has hastily been edited to new hardware bundles (eg, console plus specific game sold as a package) once they realized people were interpreting it as an Xbox Two announcement.
