Not a big deal really. Just give me the game exactly as it was 20 years ago(wow I can't believe it's really been that long lol), with no new features, but on a more accessible platform and I'm happy. Anything else is bonus. Shenmue will still be a great game and an experience you can't get anywhere else.
The new generation of kids who will be playing Shenmue for the first time this Christmas are going to love it and hate it for the same reasons we did way back when. Would time skip be nice? Yeah. Is it gonna be a deal breaker for the types of young people who would play a slow-paced mystery game about traditional Chinese culture? No.
Only a minority of super nerds and people who already didn't like Shenmue are gonna whine about stuff like this not being implemented.
