Yu Suzuki, the SEGA legend that has been MIA for sometime now is gearing up to release Shenmue City, a new mobile phone game only available in Japan. No plans are currently underway to bring the game to the West but more importantly, what is happening with Shenmue 3?
When questioned Suzuki has responded with, “I want to make 3 with the same volume as in the past.”
“Shenmue has the image of grand scale, but making something of grand scale requires appropriate preparation. I want to make 3 with the same volume as in the past. There have actually been a lot of requests from fans for 3 as well. There were even petitions signed by tens of thousands of people. I wanted to carry out my obligations for the series.”
The Shenmue series is based on an 11 chapter script that Suzuki wrote prior to the original game’s development. Putting the remaining chapters into one game is something Suzuki will “have to consider” if Shenmue 3 goes into development.
“It would be possible to finish the entire story in a single game if we were to show just the highlights and skip over parts,” said Suzuki.
The future of the Shenmue series is currently in the hands of Shenmue City; if the game performs well SEGA will do “additional things” with the series. Could that mean the green light for Shenmue 3 or a Western release for Shenmue City? Or could it mean something different all-together? Shenmue: Forklift Racing anyone? Only time will tell…

According to information gathered by Nintendolife.com, development of House of the Dead Overkill 2 is well under way and is expected to be released “sometime early or mid-2011″.
“Details on the game are still undisclosed, but what we’ve been told is that a title codenamed House of the Dead: Overkill 2 is being worked on, which we assume is for Wii and potentially PSMove,” said the site.
Exciting times! The original House of the Dead Overkill is still one of our favourite Wii games and held the Guiness World Record for most f-bombs in a video game.

The bonkers Compile Heart RPG ‘Super Dimensional Game Neptune’ that was published by SEGA in Japan will be coming to the West. The game is loosely based on console wars and contains numerous references to past SEGA titles. NIS America will be publishing it in North America. NIS America Inc, Europe will also be bringing the game to Europe.
However, the game will be getting a name change to Hyperdimension Neptunia which is just as odd as the literal Japanese translation. There is no news of any other cuts to the game as the SEGA references might not be licensed to NIS America. The game will be hitting Western shores in Spring 2011.
Edit SEGAShiro.com can confirm that the SEGA references will remain intact in the Western version.

Let’s Tap is an under-appreciated, mini-game masterpiece. Yuji Naka and his Prope studio developed one of the most intuitive and interesting control schemes seen on the Wii which has to be played to be believed. The game also has one of the most enduring soundtracks I’ve come across and the Rhythm Tap mode contains a selection of incredibly upbeat and poppy anthems for you to tap along to.
My absolute favourite has to be Kung-Fu Disco which you can hear below. You’ll have this one stuck in your head for days!
