Looks like it crashed once again. Could be a result from folks on the other side of the world? It was less than 100,000 from reaching 2mil.

In less than 9 hours, Yu Suzuki had his kickstarted campaign funded. Smashing records, y'all. I once told a few members of Racketboy, and BMF was there for this, that if I had a dying wish, I'd ask Yu Suzuki to tell me how Shenmue III ended. Just have a pillow-side talk and he could whisper to me as my existence faded, how Ryo resolved his quest.

I guess I better be careful today for the Karma gods. And I'm also glad it didn't come to that. All of my teardrops falling on my guitar.

I'll be wearing my Shenmue hoodie today! We need to add a thirteenth month to the Together Retro calendar.

Shenmurary? Shentober? Shenmune?

Maybe the third time will be the charm and a game that doesn't suck will bear the Shenmue name.

Doubtful, though.

Any news of what vastly superior arcade titles will be playable in-game?

Psy-Phi and hopefully finding a copy Propeller Arena disc in sock drawer somewhere, that I could play on a virtual Dreamcast 8)

Or Dave, you know you could solicit input by backing the game. Since you know what good games are made of and we don't. Sorry you didn't have fun with the first two though!

The real question is, will he end it.

Story was originally 16 chapters IIRC and Shenmue 2 stopped at the end of chapter 6.

I'm calling another cliffhanger & Shenmue 4 releasing in 2030 :D

And if memory serves, even at the end of the second game, we still don't really know what's up with the mirrors, Lan Di's goals, or Shenhua's full significance.
