I believe the list below is the complete release of both Shenmue 1 and 2. I have included a personal rarity grade which i have decided upon what i have seen over the years searching for Shenmue collectibles over the years. The scores are out of 10, with 1 being the easiest to find and 10 being the most hardest thing to find. I apologise if there are any errors. If there is any mistakes, could someone correct me? Hope this helps!

Description: What's Shenmue? was a special premier disc in Japan given to those who pre-ordered Shenmue, additionally another edition of the disc was given away in Famitsu, a Japanese gaming magazine. The only difference between the two is that the Famitsu version has an orange cover, as apposed to a blue cover. Due to a delay in releasing Shenmue in Japan, anyone who pre-ordered it was given this on the date it was intended to be released on. The game itself works like a demo of Shenmue, featuring Dobuita, a town in Yokosuka, although not all of it is accessible. You play as Ryo much like you would in the full game.
