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.”

Isn't that like, that Great Dreamcast-franchise?!...

I hope that the ports will do good when they are ported, thus making way for part 3... Possibly!

Are Wii owners happy with all these ports of old games? I would rather have new content, like MADWORLD.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
