Shenmue Dojo

Good timing, Yu!

Hello everyone !

First, a huge thanks to Yu Suzuki who allowed me to share this. Now that I've got his approval, here are more details about the latest tweet.

As you all know, Yu Suzuki has restarted his twitter account.

He has met with Baji Quan Master : Wu Lianzhi and they both shared a good time. However they were not alone. Indeed, from time to time, Master Wu Lianzhi is teaching Baji Quan in Japan and they met during that event, along with many other people (check pictures below).









On that day, Yu Suzuki also received a 色紙 (a square piece of fancy paper, used for poems) from Master Wu Lianzhi. Here's what you can read on the paper : « 遊戯の父» which, literally means : « father of games ». Not necessarily video games, it's a general meaning in chinese.











Known for many games, Yu Suzuki has managed to share his knowledge of Baji Quan (Hakkyokuken) through Virtua Fighter and Shenmue.

Thanks again to Yu Suzuki !

It's A PUPPY this time around! Puppy mini game for 3?

New puppy simulator game from Yu Suzuki?

Or maybe this fella is interested to join our monthly #SaveShenmue routine?

Well, one thing is clear as this Baji master says: https://t.co/mBXbjWmsBa

Small puppy: Wah Wah Wah
Big Dog: Woof Woof Woof

Small community:What? What? What?
Big community: How? How? How?

So, we should keep an eye!

It would be nice/interesting to know if Suzuki will be attending E3 this year. I've watched a few interviews and discussion panels from gaming websites discussing the rivalries and big hitters speculated for this year, and a recurring theme is that Sony is marginally ahead in the console wars, but unless they pull something major out of the bag, Microsoft is gonna come out of E3 better. However, despite not referencing Shenmue directly, more than one commentator has said that Sony may be tapping into old IPs, specifically Japanese based games that would give them an edge. Just something that stokes the curiosity of this year's E3 a little more.

Wow. That's actually as young as I've seen him look in a long time!

If Sony mention TLG in any capacity, they've won. Even if it's a ten second teaser only showing the logo and title name without any CGI or gameplay trailer whatsoever. The reality of the hype is just too much.

I've got approval from Yu Suzuki to create an official french twitter account.

Even if you don't know french, just feel free to follow/RT/fav it, that'd be great.

I will be working on it on my free time.

Thanks !

I adore Shadow of the Colossus. I enjoyed Ico but it wasn't SOTC. I'm not hyped or anything for TLG but I'd be interested to see more. I watched a youtube video a couple of weeks ago about the deleted colossi from SOTC. It made me really sad to see what all they had to cut out. I hated the little lion colossi and would have swapped them for more colossal ones.

But there's only one game that will sell me a PS4/One. And that's Shenmue.

Shenmue 3 could come out on any console and I would preorder it in a heartbeat. Doesn't matter if I'm broke or not.

So for those of you who haven't worked it out, Yu Suzuki is currently in Las Vegas if that pic was taken by him, putting him approx. 4 hours drive away from the LA Convention Centre
