they have some similarities, but they are not mutually intelligible

It's the first time I see Portuguese as a language option for a major title other than sports. PS. I speak the language and I believe Brazilians will get behind the game, though a lot will play it pirated as this is PC we're talking about.

Hope you'll introduce Shenmue to some non-english-speaking friends, dude! Find some friends to buy the game for!
I guess you can forget about African countries and Timor as video game markets but having Brazil and Portugal with over 200 million speakers will hopefully make a difference for Shenmue 3.
In Macau, Portuguese doesn't seem to play that much of a role anymore, though. According to the impeccable Wikipedia, only less than 10% of the population speak it even though it will still be an official language over there until 2049.
