Default Shenmue 3
OK so a Kickstarter for this was announced 5 hours ago. The goal is 2 million. It already has 1.5 million. Safe to say it's coming.

Those of you unfamiliar with Shenmue need to acquaint yourselves immediately. 1 and 2 were released on the Dreamcast and they're incredible.

(I am in bed. I can't sleep.)

My favourite part of this is that Kickstarter's website crashed almost immediately after this was announced, because it couldn't handle all the traffic.

Anyway yes I need to play these games. I may actually have them somewhere; I just have no idea where.

I wanna find out why everyone loves the series but there's no way in hell I'm gonna get a Dreamcast or an OG Xbox. I'm hoping for a PS port.

Dreamcasts are like $10. I'm not even exaggerating. Or at least they were when I picked one up.

In all the excitement this news got drowned out and forgotten, but this brings pleasant memories for me. I used to watch my brother play Shenmue 1 on his Dreamcast. Definitely need to play it for myself.

I don't know if it really got "drowned out" considering they've raised over $1.7 million in a matter of hours (note: it's the fastest game ever to hit $1 million) It did get drowned out on Final Fantasy forums, though, I'll concede that

Unfortunately no, they were only ever released on Dreamcast.
