Spo have we heard anything back from this seller yet?
Here is their responses:
First response from the seller:
Dear shengoro86,
Hello -- Thank you for the questions and the interest. I will have my husband check on all of this and send you answers as soon as he is able. As far as authenticity goes, he has been in possession of these since his employment at Sega. He can work on somehow verifying this for you, but if you need to check on his involvement with the game his name is Mike [I REMOVED HIS LAST NAME FOR HIS SAFETY] and is listed as the lead tester in the credits.
- NAME REMOVED
Second response from her husband, a lead tester on Shenmue in the USA
Dear shengoro86,
Hello this is Mike writing. A few quick answers to your questions below. There is no crouch move available. I took a screen of the moves available for you. There is also no rideable bike that I was ever aware of. Neither of those were present on builds that were in test at Sega of America. As for the build version I am unaware how to verify that on the menus. I cycled through everything and didn't see anything that seemed to indicate a version. Maybe I am missing something?
With his responses in mind, I am 90% sure this build is identical to the ShenDream release.
