Will III have arcade games?

[Himuro]

Since YSNet is making the game, does Yu even have the rights use the old sega games? I'd like the old Hang On, Space Harrier, Afterburner II, Outrun, but I also want Virtua Fighter 1 and 2 with online play to simulate playing someone in the arcade.

If they can't get access to Sega games will they make their own?

[Brian SII DC vs Xbox]

If they do make their own, they can make the graphics look like the year the game's set in. Plus it'll be games like a shooting game, jumping, racing etc. Hopefully they keep the QTE arcade games too.

Yes I'm sure if they can't put in Sega games they can at least make their own sort of mini games and collectable toy capsules that are not Sega themed. As far as arcades go just give me my QTE title

A floating sword's one thing, but an arcade machine in nowheresville, China powered by a windmill? C'mon pal...

What makes you think Shenmue III will just be in the Chinese countryside? We don't know anything about it.

[MiTT3NZ]

Um, yes we do.

Turbo OutRun and Power Drift would be my guesses, in addition to all the Yu Suzuki arcade classics in 1 and 2.

Turbo OutRun has never had an arcade-perfect home port so that would be a welcome bonus!

Granted, it says "stretch goals," but this is what we know of the settings. And if these are the stretch goals, it's a damn safe bet it's all taking place in the Chinese countryside.

The arcade machine could be made out of firefiles and tree pedals for all I care.

True, but the Bailu village thing is for an expanded Bailu. Who knows.

Arcade games? Probably not. Back in the Dreamcast days it was a cool thing but SEGA would rather sell the games on PSN/XBL/iOS then pack them in with Shenmue III. You could play NES games in the Gamecube Animal Crossing but they pulled that out of future game when the virtual console became a thing.

They should put in the saturn version of Shenmue :P

On the other hand, Yakuza Zero, set in 1988, has Out Run, Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone and Super Hang On. I think the setting is more of an issue... are these even going to be places that would have an arcade? Admittedly, they did take liberties before with Ryo having a Sega Saturn. The Hong Kong locations in S2 had arcades of course, but Hong Kong is quite a bit different than the rest of China, especially in the 80s.
