Imagine walking into battle ready to pull out a grenade only to find out mom mixed up your onigiri pouches with your grenades. How embarrassing.

No, because here you have real friends.

I hate when people talk about Shenmue like it sold 2 copies.

It's one of the best selling games on dreamcast !

If the shitty games (like REALLY SHITY) that david cage does make profit, Shenmue can fuck that number over. It's marketing, just put some phrases like: "one of the most awaited games in VG history" "revolutionized videogames" "like nothing you played before", pay for some good reviews and the fanbase is going to get the hype over 9000.

A LOT of people knows about Shenmue that haven't even played the games.

It will not be a killer app, but it will bring a lot of new buyers, and it will certainly be a better exclusive to show off than pretty much 80% of exclusives.

I think it would make SO much news it would sell.

So Thief (in direct defiance to the implications of his own name, apparently) decided to be supercool and sent some of his Front Mission posters my way. I just swiped these images on the net so I didn't have to take my own (and the last one is just the base image used for the poster, not the poster itself), but all the posters look great. As a nut for both Front Mission and authentic Japanese store posters, this stuff made my week.

Coolest thing is that each poster is for a different version of the game. First image is the DS version, second is the PS1 version, and I believe the last one was for the SFC version (I think so, at least).

Also, years ago someone on here (for the life of me I can't remember who, it was so long ago) pointed me in the direction of a site called bidJDM where you can buy stuff from Japanese auction sites. So I hopped on there recently and finally decided to try it out. Got myself an original poster for the game Soumatou (which was localized as Deception III: Dark Delusion in the west).
http://oi61.tinypic.com/2efmh79.jpg

I just won it this morning though, so I'm still waiting for all the confirmation and whatnot from the site. Having not used it yet, I'm not sure exactly how things go, or how long it all takes.

Oh, and I also preordered Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The Namco blurbs for it are making it sound like the physical release will be really limited (it's only on Amazon and ClubNamco, and supposedly won't be in stores), with the primary release being on PSN. So I figured I ought to get it while I can.

I woke up thinking about Gargoyles for some reason. The old 90s cartoon from Disney. Always loved it, but early on I never got to see all the episodes, since I moved overseas.
So a couple years ago, I finally picked up the DVDs and got to see more of it, and it was really, really great. They hadn't released much of it though; Disney only put out two volumes of it, with only about 39 episodes altogether. There was still about 39 more episodes they hadn't released, and they put it off for years.
So when I woke up thinking about it, I decided to look it up. And lo and behold, they actually put out another volume last year. Wasted no time in ordering it.
There's still another season left, and it's uncertain if that'll ever see the light of day, but I'm thankful I'll at least be getting this set either way.

http://oi62.tinypic.com/33arsz6.jpg

Yeah for sure. There aren't a lot of hi-res pics of some merchandise, so it would be great to update the media section here on the Dojo.

I've been kicking around the idea of creating a document showing all merchandise that's been released, along with whatever information is available; like when the merch was released and where, and in how many quantities. Basically whatever info is known on these items. I'd take pics of things I have, and look to the net for stuff I don't have. Then export the document as a pdf.

Would probably take awhile to do and would need the help of others on here, but it could be fun.

Interesting. I don't really see how Suzuki can be "out of touch" on a form of art (the video game). It would be refreshing to play a game such as Shenmue with all of the War/Zombie/FPS/Halo/CoD clones out there

For I myself play popular games from time to time, as they are not all bad.
For not I, nay!

Never shan't I dabble into the trough whence slovenly masses getteth thy sustenance. Such pestilence; cut-purse to to thy mind; a parade in squalor.

If thou were a lush, woulds't staineth ivory hands in a box-tree for ruffians, brim with Duty of Callith? Poppycock for naughts.
One dost heaves thy supper at such thoughts.

Come come, wench! Fetch thy snuffbox, for such a lather has overcome thou with tizzy.

As an obsessive Idol fan I am all for yaeba. Just not fake ones. Not exactly perfect, but natural teeth can be a cute "charm point" as they say.

I have no clue the extent of its popularity(fake yaeba that is), but I do think that it got exaggerated when the concept of yaeba (re?)entered the consciousness of the west when some media outlets put out stories about them within the last few years.

Here's some google image searches for you to enjoy if you're interested in getting some more info from a Japanese perspective:

"cute yaeba"

"cute teeth alignments"

I promised myself I would make this post short, but you guys are finally on a subject I have a lot to say about. As weird as that may be.:lol:

So, this will undoubtedly be the best E3 in ages, I think. We will finally what so many developers have been keeping under wraps for so long now, there's been radio silence off a LOT of them for ages now, hasn't there?

Anyone have any predictions, since it's only a couple of weeks away now. I'll allow stuff from people who don't attend/show off stuff at E3 but either instead do it just before or afterwards normally (such as Rockstar and Nintendo).

Leaks/rumours so far that I have seen around the net:

From Software's new game (Project Beast - a new Souls series?)
New Tomb Raider
Deus Ex: Universe (Human Revolution follow up)
Final Fantasy XV
Suda51's new games (plural)
Retro Studios new game (supposedly a dormant Nintendo IP - probably either Metroid, F-Zero or Star Fox)
Resident Evil 7
Ni-Oh
Phantom Dust 2

No doubt going to be there:

Batman: Arkham Knight
Mirror's Edge 2
Metal Gear Solid 5
Assassin's Creed 5 (it's annual now, right?)
Zelda
Quantum Break (so excited to see this one)
Generic war shooter #51

Maybe/maybe not:

Fatal Frame V
Gravity Rush 2
Zelda Musou
The Last Guardian (lol...)
Sleeping Dogs 2 (AKA Triad Wars)
New Mario

Hopes and dreams [never happening in this timeline; always get carried with this part]:

Mystical Ninja/Goemon revival
Mischief Makers 2
Star Fox 64-2
Shenmue 3
Growlanser VII
Vagrant Story 2
Final Fantasy Tactics 3DS
Metal Gear AC!D 3 (Vita)
New MegaTen spin off
Front Mission 4+5 HD
FFXII HD
Matsuno's new game (whatever it is)
The Silver Case (3DS/Vita)
Lots of horror games/detective games/2D Japanese games/tactical RPGs

Hey, i'm glad you guys liked the post. I've added a couple other pics i had missed the first time. Shenmue really is a game about atmosphere, and Suzuki and team AM2 really executed that in a way few other games have.


[...] Remember that Hazuki residence once was a temple. [...]
I never knew that. Where that information can be found originally?
And, the Japanese official guides cover most of the data, though I'm not sure about the English guides.

Yea, the strategy guide says:
"The Hazuki residence was originally a temple, which the Hazuki family came to occupy when it lost viability due to the absence of a chief priest. This explains why the residence looks so formal. The imposing front gate is a remnant from that era."


So much thought and soul went into building this universe, not to get off topic, but things like the character profiles and backgrounds for every NPC in the game including animals, shit like that is just brilliantly insane.

What was the story of the old guy that sits in the kids play area and smokes cigarettes? He always struck me as a haunted soul.
You can meet two old men in Suzume Park. The one who is smoking is Liu Gong Hui, father of the owner of Liu Barber & Hair Salon. Check out his profile in this page:

http://shenmuedojo.net/new/games/s1characters_dobuita.html

The other guy is not smoking, but more spooky. Do you mean this one, maybe? His name is Lin Xiang Xuan. Find his profile here:

It's fake or not someone should answer certainly if u font know please don't confused other if this real that's mean finish I want only shenmue 3 and not stupied HD idea as most stupied fan mentioned HD so much

I don't know this person is stupied or retarded who said there is no error in this stupied slide and this real slide from sega of America

Not sure what section I was supposed to start this in but I guess the future of Shenmue is somewhere where you guys might have a better chance of reading it.
During my mid teen 14-16 I studied Kung Fu ( I am 39 now) and was described by my sensei as very talented and amongst the best he has seen for my age. Sadly upon leaving school ( we leave at 16 I the UK unless we choose to stay for further education) I started shift work in a local factory and abandoned my club. Despite this I have always remembered my training and have continued to have an interest in martial arts by being big into beat em ups, esp Neo Geo 2D fighters and Sega 3D fighters.
So after once again completing Shenmue 1 & 2 at Xmas on Dreamcast which I have done every year since about 2008.I also for the first time completed the Xbox Shenmue 2 via my 360 for the first time and was pleasantly surprised how good it was ( apart from Rens voice ). But this time I found myself thinking more deeply about the martial arts side of the game and the training/discipline involved in them. Karate appears to be what Ryo is taught by his father despite him saying Ju Jitsue although both are of Japanese origin.

So after 24 years out the game I decided to join a local Karate club, due to the influence of Shenmue, although I dident tell my instructor I was tak8ng it up because of a videogame. After only a month I am very surprised by the similarities of Wado Ryu Karate and the moves Ryo uses in Shenmue. In fact so much of it makes sense and I feel the Shenmue vibe when training as so much of it seems familiar. My instructor has commented how I seem to be naturally picking up Karate but he doesn't know how I believe it is because of Shenmue. This may sound a little sad or egocentric to some of you but I think it shows just how powerful Shenmue is a game and way of life.

On a different note I have had a Shenmue tattoo this morning and will post a picture next week after the scab/swelling has gone down.

...AND THEN CLICK "TWEET". That's it! :)

Phil Spencer (a.k.a. @XboxP3, he is the President at Microsoft Game Studios) will get a notification about your Shenmue request!

UPDATE: http://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/251647-gaming-achievements/suggestions/6028512-bring-shenmue-3-to-xbox-one (ONE MORE WAY to support!)

F.A.Q.:

Q: Why this is happening?

A: Because Phil Spencer said that he is open to hear ideas about original Xbox games to bring back, as can been seen here: https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/471467263271657473

Q: Didn't Phil said they're not going to make it?

A: Phil also said Gears of War ran its course and then bought the IP. Decisions like that are not monolithic in nature. And, with the right pressure, he may change his mind about Shenmue, too!

Q: I have my doubts? Is this going to work?

A: Nobody in this world is able to know. However, when you TRY, big things could happen! For example, think back what attention and positive signs we managed to achieve so far with SONY:

Support Shenmue, anyway and in any way, and spread the word! :D

I'm still pretty confident that we'll get at least a Shenmue I, Shenmue II HD collection released this year or next. There has been way too much chatter and smoke this year for nothing to happen. We are pretty sure that they were working on it. So who knows? Maybe they had to change direction with the release of the next gen consoles?

Blind optimism? Probably. Call me Stevie Wonder.

What is Shenmue?

Shenmue was a video game created by SEGA Programmer Yu Suzuki. It was developed during the production cycles of both the Sega Saturn and The Sega Dreamcast and it was released for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000.

Why is Shenmue Important?

It was notable for influencing many aspects of modern video games. It was influential in the use of Quick-Time Events, an aspect later seen in Resident Evil 4 and Heavy Rain. It was a game that preceeded Grand Theft Auto 3 in using full-3D free-roaming and real-life weather effects, and allows in-game interactions that weren't possible before. It was one of first true cinematic experiences in modern games, with an amazing story that attracts a huge fanbase in both Japan and The West during the time/

Despite the influence Shenmue had in modern gaming, the franchise remains dormant after the end of the Dreamcast and the lack of sales in Shenmue 2 in Xbox. It's been 14 years since the first Shenmue game and 12 years since Shenmue 2, and yet there has yet to be a re-release of the first 2 games in digital marketplaces (Steam/Playstation Network/XBox Live/GoG) nor has Shenmue 3 ever been announced by Sega or any developer/publisher in the last decade. And thus, we believe that Shenmue is in the risk of being forgotten and ignored by modern gaming culture.

And thus, we believe that Shenmue deserves to be preserved in order to remain remembered by the video game industry, and we believe that the best place for Shenmue to belong is in the Game Canon of United States The Library of Congress.

What is The Game Canon?

The Game Canon is a list of video games to be considered for preservation by the Library of Congress. The creation of this list is "an assertion that digital games have a cultural significance and a historical significance."

The current list of video games being preserved by the Library of Congress under The Game Canon is as followed:

-Spacewar!
-Star Raiders
-Zork
-Tetris
-SimCity
-Super Mario Bros. 3
-Civilization I/II
-Doom
-Warcraft series
-Sensible World of Soccer

And thus, we believe that Shenmue deserves to be on this list. Its influence on modern gaming makes it equal alonside Doom and Super Mario Brothers. And by having Shenmue on this list, it can finally bring back interest to the franchise by the gaming community, which will allow Sega to pick interest in remastering the game on modern digital marketplaces and allowing Yu Suzuki to continue production on Shenmue 3, where Ryo can finally face his revenge on Lan Di.....

Mue's not really insulting anyone... he's just expressing his concern. He really needs to calm down huh...

rational conversation

I never expect such when speaking with you -- only hope. I'm simply defending his right to speak about his concerns with the forum. To be clear, I do not agree with him, but rather, I disagree with your overblown reaction to his moderate textual response and your obvious dismissal of his concerns because they do not coincide with your own.

EDIT:
Also, I'd be more than willing to make use of the private message system if you hadn't made if very clear to me in the past that my messages will ultimately end up being ignored. So, by you telling me to use private messages, you're essentially telling me to "shut up".

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2 is coming to PS2 Classics on US PSN next week.

YES! So good. Now I can actually play this game, since it never came out in EU region. Loved the rest of the Devil Summoner series and this one sounds like it really refines Raidou 1's system in really cool ways. Plus I've heard nothing but great things about the story. Think this'll be my next JRPG.

I was disappointed when I heard about the production of shenmue online. I don't like mmorpgs and didn't think that was the way the series needed to go. I always saw that as an evolution of the way they were going to take the series and not just a side story game. With the success of ffxi and world of Warcraft i could see sega pushing them down that path. I love you guys but I don't want to play shenmue with you.

Peter, the same sorts of things ring true for me and I'm doing things to try and improve my life; joining some clubs (just being more social in general), changing jobs, training myself up in my chosen career path, changing my diet dramatically and just spending more time with my family. I've had similar depression bouts on and off for a couple of years and just decided that it was time to change. Those same principles can help you too, just think about what it is that you want to do and plan out a way to do what you want and where you want to be. Also join some social clubs, whether they be meetup groups in your local area or active groups like martial arts, sports or recreational activities like drama/acting or musician groups or even something as obscure as learning archery. Maybe trying something new and thinking outside the box will help you to do something you would never had imagined you would enjoy. It's time that you made some new friends. I also quit Facebook a couple of years ago and it was definitely for the best. I find that the more you sit around and think about these things such as "what have I been doing with my life?" the more depressed you will be about it, so try and get out and do these things asap.

There's more people that have been in your position than you may realise (such as myself) and as shown by people on here, we're here for you through these difficult times. You can chat with me anytime via PM.

I have it but its sealed somewhere so id have to get it out but cant right now.

I am sure someone else can do it tho.

This is how I imagine mue at karaoke:

not that I picture you to be that dweeby but you get the point.

Okay, I found it now and shared it. And you know what, I decided to make a twitter account after all. I don't care how shallow my reach is a newly registered guy with no followers whatsoever but I just want to support #SaveShenmue however I goddamn can!

I have problems with Trigun as a whole, but the soundtrack ain't one of them. I remember way back in high school, back when I'd only seen the first five or six episodes of the show and still thought it was the bee's knees (a simpler time), a friend of mine bought a couple of the soundtracks, and we kind of passed it around our little circle of friends so we could all burn a copy. Used to listen to this stuff all the time. I still want to learn how to play the opening theme on guitar someday. Tsuneo Imahori is fantastic (apparently he was a member of The Seatbelts on the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack; didn't know that until just now).

Fuck off Sega you can shove your Yazuza up ya ass we want SHENMUE

That's the spirit old chap!

I don't think the situation is as binary as you explain. Classic investors are maybe only concerned about the incomes but the goal is still the same : do the best product as possible or it's going to be a flop on the market and a loss of money for the investors (including banks), whatever your initial purpose.
I really really have to disagree, there's a reason why marketing budgets are comparable to development budgets these days and that's because they have a greater influence on a product's success than the product itself.

"So there's this woman at work, she's nothing special a 6/10 maybe a 7 on a good day."saying stuff like that does not really make a good case for you, bud. Makes you should extremely shallow, sexist and jealous and all three a personalities I personally would not admire in any work force.

Also what you did was very immature, and you should have just gone to HR. So, if you get fired it's on you and I wouldn't expect any sympathy for it either.

One more thing, you say you didn't do it because she turned you down yet you keep repeating she did and she's just slightly above average in the looks department...

It's not looking good for you at all, son. Can't say with a good conscious that you don't deserve to be fired.

No loading times on the "Saturn version" of Metal Slug! Oh Yeah! Oh and Super Bomberman fight which is super fun.

So if some of you guys dont already know. Theres something unusual about the proficiency level increase in Shenmue I. Of course you increase it by practicing at places but did you know there is actually a pretty big increase that happens to evey move when you change discs due to progression in the story. So when you swap discs because you've completed one, the next time you load your file, the level of the moves are significantly higer than before. Heres the kicker however! When you do the skip disc 1 glitch via the stairs. The level of the move do not increase at all. Wonder why? Did the programmers do something to make move levels higer when you swap discs? Im very curious. Also note that in disc 1. The audio that comes from Ryo when doing moves like the Cyclone kick and the Brutal tiger in free battle are different fom disc 2 and 3. the fighting audio from disc 1 is also the same in the entirety of Shenmue II.
