It's amusing that Sony won't release a game in Japanese. Remember when Microsoft and Sony were trying to deny all 2D games completely? They only know how to try and sell "hype" games which usually sell themselves. Don't know their @$$ from their elbows when it comes to any title that doesn't break a sales record on week one. <br><br>PS: Did anyone else enjoy the movie? Good stuff.

After playing the JP demo I can't begin to explain how much I want to play the full game, it's like Shenmue 3 but with most of my biggest complaints fixed. There is alot more fighting, and the combo system and overall mechanics are alot easier to get the hang of.

The problem with any new dub crew would be very similar to the one many Shenmue fans experienced in the US (at least by those of us who imported the subtitled UK version so we could play without waiting another year for the XBOX launch).

The short version is as follows:
Shenmue – Japanese boy Ryo Hazuki, in Japan, speaks English
Shenmue II – Japanese boy Ryo Hazuki, in China, speaks Japanese.
At that point, we can only presume that Shenmue III will star Japanese boy Ryo Hazuki, in Tanzania, speaking Klingon.

In the US, we already have had to deal with the fact that Yakuza 1 was released in English, and Yakuza 2 in Japanese. If Sega (hopefully) releases either of the PS3 Yakuza games in our market, I'd prefer that they just stick with the same cast they used in either of the prior titles, if only for the sake of continuity.

But yes, I join you in hoping for an eventual release of Shenmue 3, even if it means having to deal with “Ndugu, ta' SoH Sov nuqDaq jIH laH tu' 'op sailors?

I imagine they could sound pretty bad ass, and they did voices for the Simpsons and FF The Spirits Within, etc, not sure what the budget entails, sometimes they even do it pro bono if they're interested in the project. The Kansai/Okinawan accents could be mimicked by Southern or Boston accents or whatever.<br><br>I haven't finished the 2nd game yet (Act 8), it really didn't look good on the big TV, blurry and all.. and give us a freaking HD Shenmue 3 already.
