It’s not Shenmue 3 – But what is it?

Something called Ryu ga Goto Ku, we think…

Posted by Staff
Which from what can tell means Dragon-like. And that’s about all we know about this game which cropped up sans announcement on Sega’s Japanese website this morning.

It does look a bit Shenmue, we’re sure you’ll agree, with the baseball minigame especially resembling Yu Suzuki’s masterpiece closely. So what actually is it? We really don’t know.

But we’ll find out more and let you know, hopefully with some screenshots not sized for commemorative postage stamps.

Oh, and it’s for PlayStation 2 by the way, due out this winter. If you know any more, do let us know in the forum below.

This game looks like a hot one. Shenmue spinoff maybe?
Whatever it is we need more info.

Come on Spong, time for you to do your industrial espionage bit. Next target, Sega Sammy HQ.

When I saw the images, i could see the same similarity with the Shenmue series. Looks like a definate spinoff.

Ive tried searching relentlessly for more info, but could'nt seem to find any.

If anyone has a slight idea, please post it on here.
like all other Shenmue fans, im sooooo badly waiting for another installment. And if this is just an appetizer for things to come from Suzuki and co, i have no rifts with Sega, just the fact that they need to hurry up!!! :x

Cheers Paciffic, that link was truly helpfull.
from one of the screenshots, you can see a resemblance of
the 50 man battle in Shenmue. This is just what i needed to coming close to feeling and looking as good as the Shenmue
series. I must get it on release day.

In regards to Shenmue 3, it looks set to be revealed at this years TokyoGamesShow according to www.planetxbox.com/shenmuedojo. and it appears to be slated for a Next-gen console.

All good news at the moment!!!

It's got a round little street-map in the corner. Therefore, it can only be a dream-like hybrid of Shenmue/GTA.

Seriously, I'd get a PS2 just for that.

No Problemo -
I don't have a ps2 but maybe it will come out on
PC or somthing -

Thanks for the shenmue 3 link - however there
have been so many false dawns - I dare not believe -
