Shenmue City Announced for PC

"Don't get too excited. A 'third' Shenmue game has been announced in Japan, though those hoping for a fully-fledged new instalment will be disappointed to hear that it's a PC based social games service in Japan.

Shenmue Citywas announced by Yahoo! Japan and DeNa for its new Yahoo! Mobage service (spotted and translated byandriasang), released today in Japan.

Can I play a game of lucky hit?

Sega are taking the piss now. Shenmue 2 is one of my all time favorite games, and has a huge cult following.

FFS stop dicking around and give us what we want.

Sega..if only that squirrel shouting your name could see you now.

if heavy rain sold 1.5mil

im sure a multiplat version of shenmue 3 could do at least 2million

the budget would be big tho...

they should of just finshed shenmue with 2, instead of a cliffhanger

At least it shows that the series is not forgotten,that´s something I guess.

i'd love a shemnue on the 360.

I'm a bit more optimistic. If this is successful, Shenume 3 will be a definite possibility. Last we heard, Sega wasn't even thinking about a third one because the first two were financial failures. It's good to know they're willing to try this.

Still,I hope this game is sucessfull so that we can finally see Shenmue 3,but I´m not getting my hopes up.

Besides,after 9 years in a cave,Ryo and Shenhua are probably dead now.:P

Well at least this shows SEGA still have some interest in Shenmue

Better than nothing? :Ptagyhag

Yeah, but this time they're not tied down to making it an exclusive for poor performing hardware (god bless you, Dreamcast).FGMPR

What about Shenume 2?

I'm sure if its successful commercially, it could lead to a third game.
