"The power button on my Dreamcast emits a glow. The warm, rosy glow of nostalgia for a time when game progress was saved on Memory Cards, a time before HD televisions, when online gaming was done with a 56k modem, and controllers still had wires. Hardcore gamers talk about the Dreamcast the way that car lovers talk about a ’57 Chevy, the way that junkies talk about that first pure high. That high was powerful, but short-lived; the Dreamcast debuted in 1999, but was already done with by 2001..."
"Behold ladies and gentle nerds. What we have here is a video featuring the legendary Yu Suzuki telling us all just how the epic Shenmue story was meant to end. Helped by the team at Mega64, I think you'll all be mighty impressed with just how the game was meant to pan out."
Long time game designter Yu Suzuki spent some time talking at this year's GDC. Suzuki mentions he built Psy-Phi around the likes of American comics and anime he used to watch as a kid.
Yu Suzuki is the recipient of the 2011 GDC Pioneer Award. The father of hits like Outrun, Virtual Fighter and Shenmue, not many are more deserving of this award than Suzuki.
"With the industry’s mega event, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, set to kick-off on the 15th, there’s a lot of speculation about what surprises will be unveiled at the mega-convention. Many publishers have already revealed their game lineups publicly, while others have kept a tight lid on the subject of E3. We wanted to look at a troubled publisher who once was at the top of the hardware and software biz, but has seen some issues lately. Mainly we wanted to run down the titles we think coul..."

"Shenmue; many may cheerfully recall the good times they had with the game while others will look on with a blank stare. Gamers have waited years for a new Shenmue title to grace consoles and allow them to continue the adventure. Considering Sega’s current state we doubt that will happen anytime soon, so now is as good a time as any to educate gamers about one of the industry’s most epic series."
Shenmue wherefore art thou? Back during the Dreamcast days, a true classic that will always be remembered is Shenmue. I remember my father getting me this game and I didn't know what the hell it was about & I've never heard of it.
So the story is about a guy named Lan Di searching for two mirrors and your father in the game seems to have one in possession. Lan Di finds out and breaks into your home, beats down on your father and other family members & that's where you come in, Ryu Hazuki....
Everyone (Sony fans, and Final Fantasy fans) seem to be clamoring about FFXIII not being PS3 exclusive. This isn't the first time this has happened ladies and gentlemen. Lest you forget that VII (arguably one of the best in the series) was originally intended for the N64?
GamesRadar goes through a list of 10 more titles that brought out a similar reaction with fans.
Someone over on GameFAQs got hold of a Swedish gaming rag called Gamereactor, which says there's a rumour the beloved Shenmue games will be ported to the Wii, with the addition of some Wiimote-controlled minigames.
Oh, and while we're at it, the Shenmue 3 petition is still going, with 52,500 names. Sign it here if you like.
If anyone has ever heard of Shenmue which was released on the under rated Sega Dreamcast will now of how this is a classic. I wouldn't have played it if my father didn't purchase this game for me by mere luck one morning.
Shenmue is a classic adventure game that was directed & produced by Yu Suzuki of Sega-AM2 , who then moved on to the Virtual Fighter and Psy-Phi games. Shenmue was released back in 1999 and was welcomed as one of Dreamcast's finest titles.
The first game covers the v...
