It wouldn’t be a SEGA themed update day without any Shenmue rumours now would it? While the press had their attention drawn away by SEGA’s PlatinumGames announcements, the Shenmue rumour mill was in full swing. Word comes from a forum poster on GameFaq’s by the name of Saikobooru who provides news From Swedish gaming magazine GameReactor. The magazine states that Shenmue 1 and 2 are being ported to the Nintendo Wii and are set to feature all new mini games. Translated into English, the (very short) story reads:
“Shenmue is back!”
“Sega has rereleased classics like Nights,Bass Fishing and House of the Dead lately. Now it’s said that Shenmue is next. But don’t think that it’s about a new game, instead, they’re bringing back the two original Shenmue games with extra Wiimote-minigames which will be released for the Wii.”
