Mr357 wrote:Great find, sand4fish! I suppose Yu Suzuki's comment about Americans was an allusion to the poor sales that Shenmue and the Dreamcast had seen in Japan. According to the video description, this episode aired in May of 2000, but even so I'm surprised at the amount of Shenmue II footage they had. I'd never heard of this show before now, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Tommy Tallarico on it.


Most never heard of the show probably because it was aired on Canada only I think. The show is still on, online now on YouTube. Johnny Millennium from HappyConsoleGamer is a big fan and friend of the host.

Why don't we ever see Fuku-san walking around in Dobuita?

He's not allowed to cross the street by himself.

The same thing could be aksed about Ine-san.
As for Fuku-san, he at least shows up at the You Arcade. But of course that's cutscene only.
He also has an alternate outfit with a jacket much like Ichiro's. Seems they planned to do more with him but this was ultimately never used.

Finally found a Youtuber critic that gets what makes games like Shenmue special.

Anyone else based in Tokyo reckon there might be some Shenmue related merchandise we can win with crane games etc in the arcades, maybe nearer to release?

I wonder if all of the guide books from both Japan and the US/EU will be reprinted with slight updates or totally redone and reprinted. And of course, would love to see new merch.

Worth keeping an eye out, for sure. Maybe they'll have printed t-shirts like they did back in 1999.

i didnt really get a shenmue feel from that.

----
i was listening to The directorJORDAN VOGT-ROBERTS on ign, talk about being influenced by video games and creating movies based on games.http://uk.ign.com/videos/2018/07/13/met ... game-movie

it got me thinking if shenmue would make a good movie? (it would work better than a metal gear soild film imo).

if done right it could be just as epic as the games

- you have I main story.. avenging the death of a father.
- character development
-exploration of interesting and slightly alien cities and areas ( from docs to Kowloon city)
- epic fight scenes
- interesting characters / enemies
of course there is tons more things they could touch on.

personally if it was to be made, i would want it to be filmed with bold lighting, almost hyper real. (deep purple, greens etc)

I'm sure the tune is almost identical to one in Shenmue.

There’s a little bit of the tune that’s similar to this:

But that’s about as far as the similarities go I’d say.
