Shenmue 3 || It’s Real, Funded, and Happening

Shenmue 3, the long awaited sequel to the ill-fated in-depth RPG begun on the sinking ship of the Dreamcast, is back for it’s third installment. 

I know, it seems as believable as announcing Half Life 3′s confirmed release date, but seriously, Shenmue 3 has raised a record setting 

$6,333,296 USD with 69,320 backers. Over six MILLION dollars earned in time frame that broke all previous records. 

If only this kickstarter had been linked to launching a new Sega console, with Shenmue 3 promised/attached to it as a launch title. Despite my pipe dreams, I can’t fucking WAIT to get my hands on this. The Dreamcast era is one of my favorite nostalgic retreats.
