Rumour: Shenmue I & II Confirmed For Wii?
Posted 16 May 2008 at 11:31 by Nathan Whincup
Swedish gaming magazine Game Reactor have spoken about a possible Shenmue collection for the Wii...
Shenmue is a cult Dreamcast classic released by Sega in 2000. The title follows the story of Ryo Hazuki, a young man who witnesses the murder of his father at the hands of an evil crime lord named Lan Di, and promises to have his revenge as he sets out on an adventure across Japan to take down his new adversary. A sequel followed the original only a year later, but both titles were commercial failures, and so the trilogy was never completed.
The rumour mill has gone into overtime, as Swedish gaming magazine Game Reactor have written a rumour which states that a compilation of the first two Shenmue games will be re-released for the Wii, with added motion-sensing minigames.
Normally we'd be sceptical, but Game Reactor were the ones who originally broke the news about NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams to us. We're keeping (almost) everything crossed in anticipation of this rumour being proven true...
