However, I knew that I wouldn’t be in charge of all 5 titles. I’m the type of person who thrives on new challenges so I hadn’t even considered doing the same project over the course of 5 games. I had done most of what I had wanted to do by VF3 and I thought it was fitting that someone had taken ove...

What if Lan Di is the third sibling? (1) Iwao Hazuki coincidentally had a life in China. Lan Di is from China. He also has a connection to a mirror made from a specific material only found in Shenhua’s village. (2) Trees are featured a lot in Shenmue. Lan Di's mirror was found buried by the Cherry B...

Just wanted to point out that the creator of these released a new video a while back and says he's hoping to release more in November. Based on the first couple I'm pretty excited!

I tend to replay the games every three or four years. On my most recent playthrough (four or five months ago) I got very frustrated with Shenmue 1. The controls are terrible and the amount of time spent waiting around is unforgivable. When I first played the game analogue sticks were quite a new thi...

I'd wager you can pick up Shenmue, a Dreamcast and a VGA box for closer to £50 than £100 - but if that's too much for you I'd just download it. Downloading current games can be damaging to the industry - but downloading a 15 year old game that is no longer on sale, imo, is fine. Personally I'd go wi...

I know it's pointless but as you're maybe german, do you know where could I find a good PAL iso of Skies of arcadia ? The Echelon rip I downloaded is unfortunately out of sync. Sorry, I don't know of any. I have a copy of the game - but not sure how I'd go about creating an iso from it? It might be...

Rank 5/5 in the race. Do you even forklift, bro?

Glad to see you raising awareness of the game and money for a good cause at the same time. Agree that you could perhaps have used a better emulator though. Some of the character models seem transparent?

And Shenmue may have been a commercial failure but not when put into perspective. If it were a commercial failure the fact that it was released on the Dreamcast would have to be taken into account. I think on PS2 it would have done fine. I posted a month or so ago making this exact point; but that ...

I think people are being a little unrealistic about the likelihood of a crowd-funding campaign being successful. There's probably no more than 1000 people who care enough about future Shenmue releases to donate and I'd be surprised if the average donation would be higher than £20. I kinda have to d...

It's clearly unlicensed and beyond the outfit doesn't look too much like her; but might be a nice addition to somebodies collection... edit; http://w...

I have the sudden urge to play Monkey Island...

The original games didn't fail. The Dreamcast failed them!

Just spam the block button whenever he attacks while using elbow assault in between. It's not pretty - but it gets the job done.

Hey guys, some updates: I've added the target signatures: 5,000+ within six months. And also, i've decided to make a widescreen HD version of the Dreamcast Magazine Shenmue Trailer exclusively for this campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8GshKMquJ0 Also, don't forget to share this petition w...
