Hello! I heard someone describe a quote from Yu Suzuki a while back about how the fundamental difference between arcade and console game design was the amount of time you had to play and that was something he kept in mind while designing Shenmue. Unfortunately, it's kind of impossible to Google...

I can't afford to back right now, the US shipping cost is so high, but I'm eager to back it when I can. This looks great!
