With Paris Games Week approaching, Shenmue fans are invited to remind Sega of the need to confirm and release new versions of Shenmue 1 & 2 in time for Shenmue 3's release.

The monthly #SaveShenmueHD Tweetathon takes place all day on the 3rd, with gamers around the world tweeting and retweeting the hashtag in a show of public solidarity in requesting these remasters.

Thank you for your support!

If you've yet to participate in today's #SaveShenmueHD Tweetathon, follow voice actress Lisle Wilkerson's lead and tweet a message with the hashtag.

Whether you read her example in Joy's, Xiuying's, or Yuan's voice is up to you!

With a scaled-up Shenmue 3 taking shape at Ys Net thanks to the publishing support of Deep Silver, Sega still has the original chapters of Yu Suzuki's epic saga buried under the cherry tree. That's why we want to thank you all for keeping up the fight for their freedom in yesterday's #SaveShenmueHD Tweetathon.

Amongst those helping to spread the word and be heard on the 3rd were Shenmue 2 voice actress Lisle Wilkerson (see above) and Olivier Comte, an executive at Koch Media/Deep Silver whose name has come up a few times lately. Ten days ago we shared a tweet from Olivier that appeared to dismiss rumors of HD remasters being locked in for release in 2017, so it should come as no surprise that he backs fans in wanting to see them confirmed - especially in his own country at Paris Games Week.

Just like this image tweeted by Japanese fan site ShenmueGuide.xyz, the campaign to #SaveShenmueHD relies on many different, individual pieces linking together to form a compelling whole. And the most important component in that mosaic is you, the consumer, remaining vocal in unison with your fellow Shenmue supporters.

So please be sure to customize your pre-loaded AutoTweet for November 3rd at TeamYu.net, asking Sega to set those chapters free and #SaveShenmueHD!
