Yeah, didn't the original games sell poorly in Japan?

It ended up selling almost half a million, I believe.

So is the new scene (or the new NPC reward) this 'bomb'? Got to assume so at this late stage right...

Well, it's better than the fishing rod, that's for sure ;)
...but I'm still hoping they've got one more card in their deck!

It's kind of funny, this micro-hype we're building will prob do a lot to shape Biscay's worth in our minds.

He comes through = he rocks; Shenmue's in good hands; etc
He doesn't = ...he becomes an unofficial member of Awesome Japan

Awesome Japan loves to change the kickstarter image. No matter what hour.

I think the world record title should have stayed in the picture. It would attract more people. Still a cool image though.

Glad they changed the image, Ryo's arm being missing in the last one was just silly.

Cedric's latest tweet makes it sound like there won't be an epic/bomb update.

@LelouchV1 I know but unfortunately, I am not the one in charge of updating the KS page...Best thing I can do is to push and push again.

I didn't say there won't be anymore updates. I said we may not get anymore huge updates. In previous updates he would say be patient or whatever. This time it sounds like he's saying its not up to him. We'll see I guess. Hope we get something something.

I do think its interesting that he blatantly called out awesome japan. I'm not sure it's a good idea to foster more awesome japan bashing. It's not productive at this point.

Really ? Even if Cedric fails, he's still among the gods for what he has done for us and we all know that. I've already given up anyway, I no longer believe in anything.
