Here's my list:
1. Uncompressed voices in Shenmue I is a must, SEGA shouldn't skimp out and use the files that were compressed for the Dreamcast release and make sure that the audio mixing is right (I actually addressed an issue I had with the PS3 JSR rerelease where from time to time the voices/SFX would sound far away or something along those lines because the audio is I believe 5.1 at least that's the impression I have but it wasn't designed with normal HDMI audio output in mind and I'm a bit concerned that this release is going to suffer from the same mistake).
2. If possible a fully playable version of Chapter 2 instead of the manga version (I'd love to be able to kick Chai's butt again on the way to Hong Kong).
3. Options to allow both the original 4:3 aspect ratio and a 16:9 version for newer TV's (or if you want to experience Shenmue in a different way, I'm pretty sure this is an already announced feature but I'm posting it anyway just to be safe).
4. Playable Saturn Shenmue prototype, it'd be nice to see what Suzuki-san and AM2 were pulling off with the Saturn hardware towards the end of the systems life, also next year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Shenmue series in Japan so it'd be the perfect opportunity to do something like that in commemoration of that milestone.
5. An optional subtitle track containing a direct translation of the Japanese audio track for Shenmue I (II already has subs for the original Japanese voices thanks to the PAL DC version so hopefully they'll include an optional subtitle track containing that version as a subtitle option as well for the purists which also makes me wonder something, how are they going to handle Yuan on the Japanese audio side of things, English is a given, but the Japanese side gets a bit more murky because the original Japanese release has Yuan portrayed as a cross dressing man, the PAL DC version on the other hand has the character portrayed as a woman, with this in mind it'd gonna be interesting to see what SEGA decides to do, this also applies to that recorded call that was changed on disc 3 for the PAL DC release when compared to the same call on the Japanese DC release), if they're gonna offer us the original Japanese audio I'd prefer to have a proper translation to go along with it (II I'm not too worried about I is what has me concerned), and it's also needed because too much of the dialogue was changed for the U.S. release so a proper translation is pretty much a necessity.
6. Shenmue Passport not much needs to be said here give us the Shenmue passport as well and the complete experience will be available to the world.
