Hear Shenmue
in English- Three movies here, all to be downloaded and mini-reviewed
by tomorrow or Thursday :). This is an early translation of Shenmue, IGN DC
says not yet enough to judge on.
no dice this month, folks. No companies really gave out any juicy information- they wouldn't want to waste their material they'd otherwise use for the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3).. so this month was slow as molasses. Sorry :)
Yu Suzuki interview- An interview with.. the man. Shenmue was his vision and was his game, among countless other classic arcade titles. This gives you a scope of what to expect in future Shenmues.
The translation- Read the first two paragraphs. It's looking good, and feedback from E3 should fix any problems whatsoever :).
THE date- read to find out when Shenmue's comin' to the US of A
Forum threads about Shenmue (#1, #2, #3)- Various threads on the UGO forum. I'm a god there ;). Tell 'em Maverick sent ya- seriously :). You can join in on the conversation there and ask questions. It's a great place
Shenmue
wallpaper- check out some awesome Shenmue art and wallpapers
straight from the source. I'll be uploading the JPGs shortly for those of
you (like with Macs) that can't do .exe's. They'll be posted here over
the next 2 updates probably.
Suzuki on voice acting- He quotes the USA voice acting will be much much better than the Japanese :). Always good to know.
