Does this mean it's also getting a retail release? Or is this the only place you can get it?


I'm not sure, but if I had to guess with how much money they've earned it probably will. To be safe though, I'd just but one from the KS campaign just to be safe though.

I'm so psyched about this!  I hope it gets a retail release but its certainly worth the 60. My only dilemma is should I get or for PlayStation or PC?

True. I may do both lol.  What do you think the amount they will get for the game will be? It's almost at 5 mill now

Yeah, I created two accounts to get both physical versions. I'm at $600 for one of my pledges. I've wanted this for so long and am not holding back anything I can't afford (mostly lol).

If I had a 1000, I've give it but I'm broke. But spending money I dont have on Shenmue 3 is well worth it :).... Hey Biking, that special edition of Shenmue 1 you have for the Dreamcast, what all is included?

The only difference is that it comes with a Shenmue Jukebox disk which has around 10-songs from the game on it. I must for crazy Shenmue people, but not really a super awesome Limited Edition.

That's still cool. I want the 3 physical soundtrack so bad I'm tempted to get the 250 package as well just to get the soundtrack, as well as the physical PC copy.

I agree with the article to an extent.


Yes, this KS campaign has been ran below average at best, but that is mostly due to Awesome Japan, the team managing the actual campaign. I think there was a lot of confusion when the game first launched as to who was funding what in regards to Shenmue 3, however much of this was caused by click-bait "journalism" that used sensational, unfounded assumptions and stated them as fact. Sadly enough people believed them and because Yu Suzuki didn't clear up the confusion until about a week after the KS launched, the damage had already been done. in the end, however I don't see it causing more than maybe $100,000 in missed funds, and that it the absolute most i can see it doing.


Another huge over site was the lack of a physical PS4 version until almost halfway through the campaign. Had they had this option up from the get go, I could see the campaign standing at 6-million going into the last day.


But overall, the game itself has carried the success of the campaign despite negative press, some deserved, however most of it is not.
