Yu Suzuki Talks Shenmue Town For Smartphones

Recommended Videos

In an interview with Gamasutra at the Game Developers Conference, Shenmue creator, Yu Suzki, discussed plans for a possible port of his current project, Shenmue Town, to smart phones, including iOS devices, in the future.

 

Currently running on DeNA’s Mobage Town platform, Shenmue Town is a sidestory follow-up to the two-game Shenmue series that debuted on the Sega Dreamcast. A free-to-play game that makes its revenue off micro-transaction purchases, Shenmue Town takes place in the city of Yokosuka, which is where the original Shenmue played out.

 

“From the start, I’ve been thinking of this as a multiplatform game,” Suzuki told Gamasutra. “So I’m thinking about smartphone strategies right now.” Interestingly, Suzuki has done part of the coding work on Shenmue Town himself at his company, YS Net.
