Shenmue & F355 Challenge

[Switch]

I've written a couple of articles looking at some elements that connect the first Shenmue game to F355 Challenge, Yu Suzuki's arcade racing simulator.

• Music: Ryo's Ride to the Harbor
• Magic Weather
• Speed gauge appearance
• F355 Driving Data Analysis Function (hidden feature of the Shenmue Passport Japanese version)

(I've added the links over on the Phantom River Stone thread on the Community forums too).

Wow... that's a crazily elaborate hidden feature.

The Shenmue Passport disc really had a lot packed into it! You have to wonder how many people would have tried out this feature, or even read the manual to find out about it.
