Random Shenmue III Thoughts

[Spaghetti]

Man, I am itching to hear about Peter's trip.

"Do you know if there's a tattoo parlour around here?"

Does anyone know who the guy in the bottom right corner of the photo is?

Weird how we haven't heard from anyone who's an LA dinner backer, maybe they're all games industry types?

[Spaghetti]

Didn't one of the Pokemon developers pledge for a dinner with Yu?

He just wanted to have a peek at Yu.

I remember the CEO of Razer tweeting that he backed at $10,000 to be a member of the Chi You Men:

He doesn't seem to talk about Shenmue III anyway.

Yup, I'm working on an English translation of the interview & will post it up once it's done.

The interview was filmed for a retro games (1982-1990) exhibition being held in Saitama over the next several months.

It covers some of Suzuki's life as a kid, getting a job at Sega, some of his arcade games (After Burner, Hang On, Out Run) and his thoughts about game creation - nothing about Shenmue but could still be of interest if you want to hear about his earlier days.

Things must be different in Japan (no way, right?), as over here if you grant somebody an interview in the entertainment media they're kind of obliged to make reference to whatever you're currently hoping to sell, whether it fits their own remit or not.

I have no words guys. My mind and body have been stretched to the limits in Japan, from partying with voice actors, Sega staff and Shenmue 3 developers, the dinner with Yu-san, a Shenmue pilgrimage of all Shenmue pilgrimages and secrets galore (some not even Shenmue related!!!).......

Maybe I will try a full blog when I get home, but God knows when I will post again. My mind and body need a complete backup, reset, restart.

Nice, how many attempts did it take? With only a 4% chance of a hit, that's an extremely elusive item!
