Shenmue fans should follow those ‘it gets better’ campaigns; make videos about themselves on how Shenmue 3 will make their lives better.
shenmue 3 would be great, but i feel it may not be great if it came out now. sega should be focussing on buildig a company with great devs. hiring great people, consistently make quality, build a respectable brand and then when all set, bring yu suzuki so he can manage these great people.
about asking for it everytime. i agree yes.
prope has btw recently just made one of the new minigames (5 dolla each) in street pass. just a heads up
i think its funny how so many big name devs have ended at nintendo
alot of the people that worked on shenmue were japanese movie director who collaborated with suzuki.
hard to probably to get a hold of them most likely
About the Shenmue campaign, there was a thread about this on the SEGA forum, dude wrote about their point of view, if you are interested… .

Thanks for the link! Very interesting discussion with a lot of good points raised.
I actually quite liked the concerns Radik was bringing up.
I would love something like the mass mailing to Japan to happen, I think that would be a very effective to bring awareness to Shenmue. It could happen once per month as a regular event. I would definitely be up for that.
I listened to a few minutes and I had heard this one already. Did you put the old episode (the one where Barry was sick) in iTunes?
I just tried to download it from the blog post and it’s episode 46. I guess everyone else that commented is watching it un Youtube, but that’s not very convenient for me.
Fixed the link. It was just directing to: http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/SwinginReportShow46.mp3
In the event that ever happens, and you want access to the proper episode, just change the show number in the URL. It’ll direct you to the right one.
Did you fix it in itunes as well?
PXZ is a beautiful game. So many Sega references! From Gain Ground and Outrun.
