Err, I'm pretty sure Yu Suzuki is retired from videogames. Seems like one of those strange Japanese situations where he's got this office he goes to every day with a sign out front and 10 employees and they all look like they're working hard but at the end of the day they've actually done nothing.

I'm sure he just google's Ferraris and motorcycles all day long while drinking wine in his office, and is living off his investments made when he was wealthy (the 80's and 90's).

I mean, what has he actually made in the past ten years?? Nothing. You have Shenmue City, whatever that is, and some virtua fighter app.

He's essentially making tiny applications for junky japanese cell phones. They barely even use smart phones over there.

Anyway... I've completely given up hope on Yu Suzuki. I feel like he just doesn't have "it" anymore. "It" here meaning ability, talent, and a passion for making software.

Time to hand his creations off to the next generation, to make them relevant again.

^ I agree. While I think he's still capable of making great games, he's pretty much retired now. Well not retired, but he's just making smartphone junk instead of real games, probably so he can do the aforementioned Ferrari googling.

He did Sega Race TV

Also he is a acclaimed painter. Probably makes a living off of that.

Cool.  If SEGA would allow it / help out that would be awesome.

I'll only believe it if Yu Suzuki says it himself or Sega.

It would be long overdo. Maybe we can have a dream crossover between Yakuza and Shenmue while we're at it~?
