Its also important to remember that unlike the dreamcast days, Shenmue 3, Shenmue HD and all the new Shenmue merchandise have made their respective companies profit.It's times like this that I can believe that sometimes passion can triumph commerce :)
I agree. The way I see it 500 copies of the $350 edition (which will sell out) = $175,000. Now how much profit you get from that after production costs, licensing fees etc is debatable (vinyl is not cheap after all), but you have the other vinyl variations, the CD and the digital download which as I understand it currently is not limited, so I think this can only be a good thing.Its also important to remember that unlike the dreamcast days, Shenmue 3, Shenmue HD and all the new Shenmue merchandise have made their respective companies profit.
The franchise is in a very good position
Sega owns the license. I suppose Ys Net owns any code, original art, music, etc. created for Shenmue 3, but not the rest?Does Sega have a hand in the licensing of all these products, or is it solely up to Ys Net who's doing all these deals?
I'm getting the 6 disc CD set for sure.
Question is, what do they mean by "general distribution" to follow? If I can bypass Limited Run and buy it in my own country via Amazon or wherever I'd rather do that.
Same :-(My biggest shenmue regret to this day was not getting that Ryo and Lan Di statue.
Hopefully with the way merch has been the last few months they'll make some new onesMy biggest shenmue regret to this day was not getting that Ryo and Lan Di statue.
