Yes. I know the pun was bad.

That's great and all, but where is Shenmue III? If you're going to port 1 and 2, it would just make sense you give gamers who have them a reason to buy other than a waggle version of Lucky Hit.

What's the point? How about I II and III on 360 in one package together. Then I'll pay attention.

I GUESS if I have money at the time I'll buy it just to support Yu Suzuki, but damn.

You forget, this is Sega we are talking about now. Same people who re-re-released House of the Dead 2 & 3 to make a quick buck on the Wii

What's wrong with the HOTD Wii release? HOTD 2 & 3 on the Wii was actually a brilliant idea considering the old versions don't work on HDTV. I have absolutely no problem with a double pack of two well done games that I couldn't otherwise play without dragging out the old TV for $30 on a console that frankly wasn't getting much love around my house. Also, re-re-released? 3 was an Xbox exclusive, 2 I think had a PC port but otherwise there was the DC version and that's it.

Now releasing Sonic 1 to every platform known to mankind (how are you supposed to play Sonic on an iPod???) that's a different kettle of fish there. But I don't see what's wrong with releasing HOTD on the Wii and, for that matter, I don't see what's wrong with a Shenmue collection assuming it's also clocking in at $30. Who knows? If enought people buy it, we might actually see a Shenmue III.

I guess it's just more of a disappoinment than anger on Sega releasing HotD 2&3 for the Wii. To me at least it was just a rush thing to cash in, where as they could have actually ported and released HotD 4 or even remake part 1. As for the re-re-release, I did mean HotD 2, I shoudl have been clearer. For people who never owned Part 3 (or 2 even), its great. But for others like me who had part 2 on both the DC and Xbox, it would have been nice to include something new....

Until someone forks over another $100,000,000 i don't think there's going to be a Shenmue 3...

So... do you waggle the Wii-remote to look for sailors?

That quote was too good to not post, lol.
