Welcome to the Dojo!

Hi all!

My name is Cor, I've been lurking occasionaly for some years now.
Thought it was about time I'd register.
I own Shenmue I, II and IIx, played them back in 2001.
I'm a retro video game collector with 400+ titles on 16 different consoles, with my copies of shenmue being my pride.
I backed the physical copy of shenmue 3 on the slackerbacker campaign.
Nice to meet you all.

Hey,

My name is tokenflipguy. Played Shenmue back during its heyday. I am currently going through Shenmue 2 which I didn't finish on XBOX back in the day because I got stuck in the Yellow building. Looking forward to 3 and also a big Ryu ga Gotoku fan for it similarities.

I also write for playstationhaven.com.

Welcome!

Hello there. I have been a Shenmue fan ever since release and am stoked for the upcoming release of Shenmue III by Ys NET (although I must buy a PS4 now although originally an Xbox One owner) I will keep long story short on how I first found Shenmue.

I don't remember the day that the snow turned to rain, but I do remember when I first learned about Shenmue. I must have been no more than 11-years-old at the time, and I'd been bought a copy of EDGE magazine. It had one of those customary end-of-year features spotlighting all of the exciting upcoming games, and in it was a small section on Yu Suzuki's magnum opus. There couldn't have been more than a paragraph of text on the title, but there was a screenshot of protagonist Ryo Hazuki looking up at an overhead plane.

Call it instinct, but I knew right there and then that I had to play this game, and so I started the arduous task of trying to convince my parents that I had to trade every N64 nad PS1 game that I owned for the recently released Dreamcast.

I was lucky enough to acquire SEGA's shiny new system alongside a copy of Sonic Adventure just prior to the end of the year. I see that even though I play my trade with Xbox these days, I'm comfortable admitting that Microsoft isn't entirely responsible for my love of games.

Naturally, I grew up with the likes Nintendo and Sony; Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid, WipEout, and Spyro the Dragon, Resident Evil but there were three particular titles that truly opened my eyes to what this industry could be: Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear and Shenmue. These were formative releases for me; all four changed the way that I think about games today.

Thank you for reading ShenmueDojo! I am delighted to be here.

Hello all

Hey Everyone,

Thrilled to join the Dojo. I'm a bit of a newbie to the series. I played Shenmue for the first time last summer after acquiring a Dreamcast and I loved every second of it. I got a copy of Shenmue II for Christmas (miss the english voice acting though *tear*) and I'm currently making my way through it.

Thank you all for supporting the series over the years and getting Shenmue III funded. Slacker backers such as myself seriously owe you guys one!

Happy New Year,
- John

Hey South Carmain,
I'm from Pakistan and Vodafone is not available in Pakistan. I think this is an Indian product so that's why not available in Pakistan.
