They brought Bayonetta back from the grave. They might just help with Shenmue 3.

That would be great! But I think the more likely scenario is that none of us ever see Shenmue 3 :(

I do! :)

And you know what, they actually said they would do this some time back:

But it could now apply to the WiiU as well.

Enjoyed the first one because it was so ahead of its time. I didn't play Shenmue 2 until 2007 so it was really outdated and kinda painful to play. I don't know if a Shenmue 3 would actually be.....good. The franchise will have a hard time replicating the certain charm of the old ones and satisfying the appetite for action that modern gamers look for. It would either be an outdated mess or a betrayal of our memories. And the franchise never was a huge seller, anyway. I don't think it will ever happen and, to be honest, I don't think I want another Shenmue.

Quick time events? A city full of nothing to do? Every object is toucheable. You zoom in/out, rotate and all that but do absolutely nothing? Shenmue sucks. Let it rot in its coffin of unfulfilled promis.

There are much better games that Nintendo can fund.

Unless they buy SEGA altogether, or the brand + Yu Suzuki, i find it hard to believe.

What a dumbfounded comment. Shenmue was the first game that let you do that. It was released in a time before the PS2 sandboxes even started.

Of course the formula would have to be improved. Look at the Yakuza games. More in that style.The story and characters are incredible aswell as the setting, so have a bit of respect and sense that people actually enjoy this series and it was quite good for its time.

 

I'd take a new shenmue over a GTA anytime of the week. That series has been stale since GTA3. Its always the same game in a different setting.

Sleeping dogs for example, is the example of a game that tries to move things forward. And its one i recommend to shenmue fans in the meanwhile.

The only thing Shenmue pioneered was in the nothing-to-do-ness department. Shenmue is boring as hell, sleep inducing, slooooooow and uninteresting. Let's not even get into its ''fighting system''. Spend that money in something better. Let that crap stay in the past.
