The Kickstarter has now reached the ultimate magic number that it possibly could for Shenmue III.
Yes... I admit I correted the last two numbers. But it came very close while it was rising through the 300s.

I would cut the WII U suggestion. While the Xbox and PS are very similar in terms of tools and power, getting the game to function properly on the WII U would require them to dumb down all the other versions, or spend a large sum of money on specifically tailoring the game to Nintendo's console.

Probably the Shenmue 1 and 2 goals as well. Why have them spend time on remastering those games when they need to be working on 3? And as the FAQ states they belong to SEGA so it is ultimately up to them what happens with those games. A lot of the little features are nice though, and would probably work well as small incremental goals.

But if these become stretch goals doesn't that mean they won't become a reality if the stretch goals aren't met? In that case, Shenmue I and II HD and PS4 physical copy and Corey Marshall should be removed, because I think those things should happen anyway. Also, I wouldn't really like time being put into those "feature extras" or Shenmue Online.
I think there already exist plenty of stretch goals Yu has in mind which are more relevant to Shenmue III itself.

A lot of your list is not feasible due to the fact that it all belongs to sega lol. If you read the lastest interview with game informer, you will see that Yu is going to have to have some intense talks with Sega just to use some of the capsual toys, let alone full games.

Shenmue Online also cannot be a reward, and I'm not sure I understand Ad-Free. First person will be in the base game, 100% hands down. If it wasn't people would go nuts.

Too awesome man. The chances of it being 3's across the board like that are astronomically low

edit: just saw the part where you said you edited it lol

Hmmm....what if Yu cut a deal with Sega to feature a Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, and GameGear in the game with demos of all of their classics with the options for players to buy the real games and add them to Ryo's collection? Could be a win/win for both fans and Sega. I've updated the list.

What would be really good is if Awesome Japan, the Campaign Managers, really got on the ball and started digging in to the trenches. Very little interactivity right now. We as fans can only keep the hype train going so far lmao. We've hit a slow period, need a little more juice to amp this back up to an 11.

In the GameInformer interview Suzuki says he's up for discussing it with Sega further along in development:

A big part of the original Shenmue games were the Sega Easter eggs, such as the capsule toys and playing Sega games in the arcades. Is there any possibility that those will appear in this game even though those licenses belong to Sega?
There are some things I can use and there are some things I can’t use. It’s kind of depending on further talks with Sega. I think there’s going to be a lot of small details that we’re going to have to speak with them on as we go along.

The challenging part, at least in the United States, is that Shenmue came out on Sega Dreamcast, Shenmue II came out on Xbox, and Shenmue III is coming to PlayStation 4 and PC, making it difficult for many fans to experience the first two games since they’re on separate platforms. Are there any plans to bring Shenmue I and Shenmue II to modern platforms?
If you have that question, it’s better that you ask Sega because they hold the rights to those. Those are their properties and I'm not in a position to talk about that, but I’m thinking about asking them!
