Shenmue III Companion App?

[Mitsuzuki]

Browsing over the Mac request thread got me thinking.

Destiny has a companion app and I look at it daily. I constantly transfer gear to and from my vault, look at my character stats, my friends characters, browse forums and more.

What if Shenmue III had one? Put it on iOS/Android and offer features like:

• View game progress
• View notebook and flip pages
• View photos you've taken in-game
• View move scrolls and practice while you're on-the-go (updates Ryo in-game)
• Mini-games (Lucky Hit would be amazing!)
• View discovered maps
• Connect to forums (here would be nice)

I'm sure there's lots more ideas but these are off the top of my head. I'd absolutely love to be somewhere on the go, listening to the Shenmue III soundtrack in my earbuds and engaging with this app.

Thoughts?

Edit- I just thought of the perfect name for it: Shenmue Passport. Like the spirit of the original passport, put some of those ideas into the app as well.

This is actually a really cool idea, if done properly. Would definitely download this, for free of course.

Could be for free if it were added as a Kickstarter pledge tier.

I know it's probably way too late for that, but still...

Actually, no big deal if it was free. The Destiny app is free.

Good idea. I actually searched the play store last week and downloaded a shenmue app which had wallpapers (and kickstarter link) and I thought someone could do something fun with a link up.

It would be cool. Perhaps not that expensive to develop?

[Mitsuzuki]

I supposed the part that would cost the most would be how much it interfaces with your active game. If they wanted to save cash I'm sure something with more limited connectivity would be cheaper to develop for.

I'm not an app developer so I'm not sure, I'm just the big idea guy*.

Shenmue Gai?

Just kidding, this is a lovely idea.
