The Xbox release is still unconfirmed as far as I know. Anyway, I really doubt that Shenmue 3 will be Xbox exclusive. I think it'll be a multiplatform title.

wtf?? yu suzuki already explained in various interviews the last months that he was NOT busy on shenmue 3, due to a lack of money, and also one thing is for sure it will NOT be on xbox, look at the horror sales of shenmue 2x

I used to know my local EB guys farily well, so when it came in, they made sure I got a copy as I don't think you pre-book it as they didn't know if it would come out. They sold fairly fast and their weren't that many that were shipped here

I have virtua fighter history and loads of mags saying that tekkan was going to be a ps2 game and Dreamcat has vf4 and i was very upset when it didn't come on DC.

I like the fact that so many people reply to my posts I have loads of ideas for DC I just wish SEGA didn't pull out so fast look how many ppl still ove it and it would and could still be alive today because you can still get the games everywhere cheap and you always when you see a SEGA game ona different format ie HEADHUNTER 2 you know in game games they will say where it all started HH1 on DC and then ppl will wanna play that

Route 66 on PS2?? comeon thats only good in the arcades because the turning is rubbish in the arcades it makes it more fun that way ... when you have had a few drinks

later guys thx for the replys

This is especially for Lunchbox:
USA is but a single country - not even a whole continent, and very far from the whole world! I feel sorry for your bad luck as it turned out that the only place that didn't see the release of Shenmue 2 for DC is your very own great country and Canada... Dontcha think it's just more than a coincidence? I think ppl at Sega knew better that the likes of you, Americans, cannot appreciate a game as ingenious and sophisticated as Shenmue.... We have the Shenmue 2, we played it at least 4 or 5 times, we absolutely love it! If part 1 was just a great promise, in part 2 it spreads out in all its glory - it really makes you feel like you're getting involved in this culture with all their philosophy and views on life - it's magnificent! If you can overcome your egocentric attitude you can try and find a way to play an european version ... and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Did you say this just to start a flame war between people in the US and people in the UK?

Look, you telling LunchBox that he's egocentric MIGHT be correct in this instance (and only in this instance), but rubbing it in his face, turning around and saying that the rest of the US is not sophisticated enough to play a game like Shenmue 2 is just asinine. You can't qualify a nation like that. Plus, you're making yourself look just as egocentric.

Be a bigger person. Explain why he was wrong to say what he said, but leave your temper and overbearing opinions about entire countries at home.

By the way, I have played the EU version of Shenmue 2 on the Dreamcast, and I enjoyed it very much. And I am an American. Why being 'egocentric' would keep one from importing a game from the UK is beyond my comprehension.

Ok, DJ Geki, I have to face the consequences of my angry burst:)
I didn't mean to start any flame between anybody. I guess when people share a passion (for gaming and the Dreamcast) they'd better find common language than quarrel. But it just pissed me off when lunchbox said Shenmue 2 never came out just because it never came out in the States. You can't erase the great moments millions of people around the world have had with this great game! I think if he's a real fan, he'd look up more info and try find a way to play it. By the way, I'm not from the UK, i'm from Bulgaria. Here Sega don't even have official representative but that never stopped us from playing all the cool games and we even do the impossible to try and get our hands on a game we crave for.
As for labelling nations - you're right. It was a bit too quick tempered, I'm just fed up with narrow-mindedness. I know it's not right to judge ppl by their nation (actually I can't say many good words for my own nation while I consider myself better than the average bulgarian hehehe in a way yeah - i'm egocentric). But this is getting too lengthy. So: my apologies to you and anyone whom i might have hurt, and my advice to lunchbox - try to be more open-minded, you might benefit from what ppl from other countries can offer you.

If you put your Xbox on your DC, then it will happen.

That's alright then. As long as it wasn't meant to start a war, everything is cool

Everyone needs to put the flame on sometimes, I just hope it doesn't start because of a video game! Politics I can understand, but games deserve calm banter as opposed to heated.

In any case, you didn't hurt me, I just thought it was silly to start the argument. BTW, sorry that I assumed you were from the UK. It just looked like English was your primary language, so I put 2 and 2 together to get 29. Doesn't work too well, eh?

Simply put, if Shenmue III was made on the Dreamcast it would be the stupidest thing Sega's ever done. Yeah, it would make sense to us - fans of Shenmue at a Dreamcast forum, but it would be quite the idiodic business move. Multi-platform would be the best IMO, just so more people would have the opportunity to buy it.

Me personally, I don't care. I'll save money to buy whatever system that will play Shenmue III (... if it comes out

). That simple.

yes u do know that shenmue 1 on dc sold more then 1 million copies and that shenmue 2 was the most imported videogame EVER!! ???

making it multiplatforum is out of the question that would cost way too much money

For all the people complaining that Shenmue 2 never got a USA/Can release [on the DC]... I'm shocked. The Dreamcast is so unbelievably easy to play imports on - even the Utopia boot disc which you can download for free will load Shenmue II on your North American Dreamcast, in NTSC (DESPITE what IGN were telling people, the idiots were having people run out to buy TV signal convertors!)

This is nothing compared to what European DC owners like me were given, we got versions of Daytona USA, Outtrigger and Unreal Tournament with the online play slashed out. And while we could play the American releases with a boot disc, having to communicate with servers in America designed for American gamers was sloooow.

For what it's worth, I now have an American GameCube and have to import every single game (although I prefer this to Europe's late releases).

As for Shenmue 3... nope. Not on the Dreamcast.

i'm not american! i don't live in the states!

wtf? all i said was it wasn't released here, and now i'm egocentric? right

i didn't know it was on the dc in europe, here its only on the xbox. i dunno who you are, but your bullying isn't scaring me. back off next time, and read the rest of my posts before you run your mouth, your ignorant comments aren't needed

and no, i'm not going to spend 80+ dollars on importing a dc game that i can buy domestically for the xbox. guess i'm not a true fan

omg another one. dammit, the xbox version of shenmue 2 has the "only on xbox" logo on it. i didn't know it came out for the dc. i was just misinformed, not being egocentric
