For many years the news regarding Shenmue and its creator, Yu Suzuki, have been hazy at best. In an almost sudden outburst of news regarding Shenmue - With GameReactor claiming a Wii version of the games being made and Simon Jeffery saying Yu suzuki is no longer is a part of SEGA - Thankfully the latter turned out to be false.

Shenmue III is SEGAs most fan requested game. Obviously, asking SEGA nicely to make it hasn't worked out. We now have to demand it. Although we condemn threats, we do suggest that some mild harassment is in order. Our main plan is to make a billboard and posters that will be visible around Tokyo before, during and after Tokyo Game Show 09. Posters will be on the streets outside SEGAs main office and a billboard outside TGS center. The goal is for SEGA to take notice, something they obviously haven't done. We are imagining that SEGA employees will see them and will there for start talking for them selves. No doubt, the executives will see/hear this and at least prompt a reaction. [/size]

Our goal is also to get the mainstream gaming media to take notice, as this is more then likely the biggest gaming collaboration to revive a series. As some may know, the good guys at EDGE magazine - arguably the biggest gaming mag in the world - are huge Shenmue fans. Our hopes are that they will help us.

Mainly we need your help through donations and buying merchandise. Every single penny donated will go to the goal, for ever merchandise bought, 1- 2 dollars will go to the campaign - We are selling these almost at production price.

Are there any other ways you can get involved? Yes, its simple. There are many different ways you can help.

Join the the campaign!
Head over to shenmuecampaign.org and sign up for updates and more.

Xbox 360
Over at http://www.xbox.com (the official xbox site) they are currently asking the community to suggest Xbox Live Originals games for download. Shenmue is currently the most requested. This is a key chance to get our message across to SEGA and Microsoft. If there is one thing they understand, its money. They see the huge potensial sales numbers. So how can you help? Go to their message board and write a post in the Shenmue Thread, "We demand Shenmue!".

You can also add "We Want Shenmue III" on you gamer card motto!

Sign the petition!
Online petitions are widely regarded as a bit of a joke but it's a well known fact that Yu Suzuki himself mentioned this very petition in an interview which makes the online petition the top of our to do list, Please Sign it and show your support!

Petition

WE WANT YOUR SUGGESTIONS, SEND US A MAIL, POST ON THE FORUM.
HEAD OVER TO THE SHENMUECAMPAIGN.ORG FOR MORE WAYS TO HELP!

As for our first order of business. We want you to write a letter, a note, a one liner or what ever to us. Pictures are welcome. We will also try to get the people who made shenmue what it is to contribute, such as Corey Marshall.

We will print all the letters and pictures and send the same letters every single month, the same date for a year, to SEGA.
Just send us an email, and we will do the rest. To no cost of the Campaign. All out of personal funds.

The time is right to actually push this through. Please, if there is one time we could really force this through and work together. It is now. We don't want Shenmue, WE DEMAND IT!

Sincerly,
The Shenmue Campaign

Wellllllll, The lastest issue of EDGE says "Belive" at the end of their issue, with a watermark saying "Shenmue III" August 29th. Let's see what happens. I need this game.

I say we put all the Shenmue fans and the Earthbound fans in a steel cage deathmatch to see who are the most bugfuck insane

then whoever wins gets to take on the Fallout fanbase

Rodnutz · Aug 20, 2008

WOW! If this is not bogus I hope they make it. I wouldn't mind seeing Shenmue 3. Shenmue definitely is/was an amazing experience. I remember paying about $120 for the original JP release. I was actually playing the original Shenmue(US) a few months back just for kicks. Until about 3 months ago I owned both games - US/JP(Shenmue 1) & EU/JP(Shenmue 2). I sold all of them except Shenmue 2(EU) version. There is no way I am giving that up. Christ... I need to get my Dreamcast back from my old roommate and give Shenmue 2 some well deserved love.

Is that a spelling mistake? If it isn't, I know it's fake.
How?

Belive

Be = bee = sting
live = live

live + sting = live to feel the sting on August 29.

Well they could be porting Shenmue Online to Shenmue III right now, but I don't have high hopes.

Some douche on GAF admitted to doctoring the image, so it ain't gonna happen.

Also, there isn't any "billboard" space around Makuhari Messe, and space for banners and such is at a super-high premium (hundreds of thousands to millions) as it's a huge tourist area. Hanging self-made posters anywhere in the TGS or Sega HQ area is also a no-no that will get you a severe bitchdown by JP police. Someone clearly did not think their cunning plan through entirely... or, more likely, is trying to fuck people out of paypal donations.

Oh, and Fallout 3 will suck ass.

Shadowdean · Aug 21, 2008

Fallout 3 will kick your ass!

Judah · Aug 22, 2008

Sebo, you're trippin', dog.

I've got to go with Shadowdean with this one.

Too much face stomping, ghoul testicles on your chin, hit you with a spiked 2x4 to suck
