Someone emailed me the YS NET developers page. Two things went up today, a message from Yu Suzuki and a PDF. Can someone translate the Yu Suzuki message?

Until our Japanese speaking folks do it, I tried Google Translate on the document and got a rather comprehensive translation. I can't copy paste as Google Translate adds a lot of garbage characters, but I'd suggest giving it a try.

Not too much new info, however it does mention that YS NET is being supervised by SEGA, and Shenmue City is a joint project. Also, this is YS NET's first project.

They also give a short history of the series, and seem to consider this a "revival" of the series. More to come perhaps? Shenmue 3 please?

Contact info as well:

The Shenmue Dojo forum folks are linking to us, STORM done good.

Check out Shenmue.com, mobile game or not, it's really freakin cool to see that old site get an update! I remember checking it back in 2003 for new info.

^ I was looking at that this morning... I also remember checking this site way back in the day. The updated Shenmue.com and link to it from the Shenmue City page is nothing but good news for the series.

I'll take ANY little bit of news as good news for this series. I was happy to see Ryo in Sega All-star Racing, I'm even happier to see this.

A new Shenmue game announced and Yu Suzuki is talking again. This is a step closer to more 'ture' Shenmue I think, if only baby steps. If Sega makes money from this Shenmue game I see at least a possibility of the series returning.

This from the Shenmue.com site made me chuckle,

It's a shame to see him move away from AM2 and now making an online game for mobile device though... I don't really approve of that move.

So long as Shenmue Street/City/Town what ever they call it is a good game and brings in big fans and big profits then awesome.

This is awesome. Wonder what came of AM Plus?

And semi off topic, whatever happened to Shin Ishikawa?

Not 100% correct, but didn't AM Plus get shut down? I thought I read this in a press release. Either that or they got merged under another studio.

Wow, I was on this site for hours before I took notice of the Shenmue City news. @_@ Every time I see Shenmue images in the news section of a site, I usually think it's like another one of those "SEGA PLEASE MAKE SHENMUE 3" or "HEY GUYS WASN'T SHENMUE THE GREATEST?" types of articles.

I didn't realize it was actual Shenmue news at first. xD This is almost too surreal.

As for the game itself: Like I said on the front page, it’s too strange that they’re going down the “alternate universe” route when they haven’t even finished the tale of one universe yet.

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT



MS funded Shenmue 3 (360 exclusive) co-developed by SEGA and YS NET! Game features optional Kinect features allowing for the ability to explore locations and objects. Players can also enjoy mini-games via Kinect controls (darts, pool, slots, cards).

...or not...
