Imagine if Shenmue III Switch did a Shenmue IIx and instead of including the digest movie they just ship it with the Anime instead. Makes so much sense but obviously would never happen due to rights etc but hey. What a score that would be eh

In September 2013, readers of the German games magazine M! Games voted Shenmue the best game of all time

Wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility for Sega to license a Shenmue 1&2 port to be published by Inin, and Inin take up port duties to Switch? In Europe, Deep Silver published Yakuza Kiwami for example despite it being published by Sega themselves in the US, so they aren't against...

I'm really surprised at the negative reactions to the backer NPCs in the run up to the castle fight. I thought they were done really well, the fact that Ryo and Ren just obliterate them but get completely stomped by Lan Di just emphasised how much of a badass he is. Also Ryo taking out the big...

I still can't get over the fact that they designed the in game economy completely around Chinese censors and then, correct me if I'm wrong, it never got a proper release over there. The chinese market has subsequently exploded (black myth wukong sold like a bazillion copies). Could a re-release...

It's all very exciting isn't it? The fact Virtua Fighter just got another update + a confirmed sequel in the works is interesting timing too. YsNet's lights have been on a long time, Air Twister is over 2 years out from it's apple arcade release date, so it's not unfeasable to think of a Shenmue...

This is terrific news whichever way you slice it. Thanks ININ. The fact they have a prior relationship with Sega is very interesting indeed.

This was so awesome to see guys a great idea superbly realised. The fact all the major gaming outlets picked up on it as absolutely amazing ! I hope Yu gets to see it, should put a smile on his face if nothing else. We really need some news this year. Damn that Warner Bros merger we should have...

That was so cool, nice one guys !

I'll admit I have been slacking on the tweetathon etc lately because life has been getting in the way but I sure do enjoy seeing the posts from the Dojo roll around each month. I cannot believe it has been nearly 5 years since Shenmue III's anniversary and 2 since the anime. Time FLIES

I bought two of the 2018 Hoodie which was really nice. I liked that the decals were actually patches. I've kept one sealed and the other I've worn the hell out of. When it wears out, I'm planning to take the patches off and stitch them to a proper leather jacket. The bomber jacket seems a bit...

I see embracer group (deep silvers parent company) has recently shit the bed and is cancelling projects left right and centre A Deus Ex game 2 years into development was axed today along with 90 odd employees. Kinda a blessing because if they had green lit Shenmue 4 it could potentially have...

Yu was driving a Ferrari back in the 80s so I dont think he was hurting for a few quid 😅

Robocop is amazing, i'm playing it right now and I'm so impressed with it. Reason i mention it is because their last game Terminator: Resistance came out the same week as Shenmue III and the quality difference between Terminator and Robocop is a huge step in the right direction, not that...
