“I am researching it.”

 

Speaking at the Game Developer’s Conference, Yu Suzuki talked about his Shenmue games.  The series stemmed from his original desire to make a Virtua Fighter RPG – the spin-off Virtua Quest did release on the GameCube back in 2004.

 

When asked if Shenmue 3 would be released, Suzuki replied, “Of course I want to make one. If I have the right opportunity…”  In an interview with Eurogamer Suzuki elaborated that he has considered crowd funding the game via Kickstarter, saying “I am researching it.”

Rumors about the series have been surfacing for many years – remember when a compilation of the first two games was said to be headed to Wii?  Nevertheless for fans of the series, like myself, this is some very welcome (if typically cryptic) news regarding the series.

 

Would you like to see Shenmue land on the Wii U in one form or another?
