Shenmue Dojo

We are torturing ourselves for $252

Maybe it hasn't quite passed the 6.6 threshold yet and they're waiting until it does?

I would take us over 6.6 just for the sake of it if i wasn't patiently waiting and saving up for something a little bit bigger

AWESOME JAPAN

looool

That's totally plausible.

I've been tempted too this last days to make a pledge and put the 6.6M$ mark behind us!
Since baby number two is expected very soon now, my wife would have killed me though

Do you want your kid to grow up in a world where Shenmue 3 didn't make 6.6 million on Friday the 29th? It would be irresponsible not to donate!

Don't make me think about the world my kids are going to grow in...

...

When they will be grown up enough, I will make them play Shenmue. So educative!

1. Avenge your father if needed!
2. Don't forget to feed the cat!
3. Remove your dirty shoes when coming home!
4. Arcades are cool and the only bike you will ever ride is the one from Hang-On.
5. Daddy used to listen to music on a device called "tape player".
5b. That doesn't mean daddy is old. It means daddy has a lot of experience.
6. Girls are overrated...
7. Sailors are hard to find, especially 500 miles away from the Sea!
8. If you think it's boring to drive a forklift all day, you better have good grades at school!
9. No, Ine-San CANNOT work for us!
10. Gollum, Chai and Oncle Benny are NOT the same person!
11. Yes, you need to finish your carrots!
12. You want to do call pranks? Use a public phone!

Man... I love Shenmue.

Naw. I think today it probably would have crossed the threshold on the back of it being so close to a big milestone.

I'm sure a few fans would have chipped in for an extra copy just the nudge it over.

Friday was a public holiday in Japan, so let's hope for The Update on Monday.

Also next week is the Golden Week holiday season in Japan, so Tue - Thu are also national public holidays .

Here's a handy holiday list for keeping an eye on when Awesome Japan are in the office

Ahhhhh.

Hopefully someone passes by the office just to whack the refresh button on the counter though. I'm sure it's updated on the weekend before...

It's monday afternoon and the count hasn't been updated yet.... updating it daily until it is 1 day from reaching $6.6m and then leaving it not updated for the next 4-5 days is so Awesome Japan.

Obviously waiting until tomorrow, to be in line with the 3rd of the 3rd, to add more excitement to this month's ...hopefully they thought of that anyways haha.

Something to take our minds off the count:

I saw this retweeted by the Shenmue Dojo account but I'm not sure it was ever really discussed here: https://soundcloud.com/ryujiiuchi/erhu

It's basically a demo track for Shenmue III in everything but its name.

At least by the time we next get a total update we should be well over $6.6 million, right?

Tomorrow is "Constitution Memorial Day" in Japan, according to the calendar posted by Switch.

Do you really think AJ are going to work?



"Day Off? Oh. Oh. Ok. Cool. Ok!"!

That gif never gets old.
