Yahoo Japan establishes Shenmue Town, which is where we want to live now

by Griffin McElroy on Oct 7th 2010 8:30PM

Yahoo Japan and social cell phone game developer Mobagetown recently partnered up to help strengthen the latter's projects. Now called Yahoo Mobage, the company recently outlined its plans for a new web portal for social games, including Persona 3 Social, a new Nobunaga's Ambition title from Tecmo Koei and, arguably the most exciting game announcement of the 21st century, a social game called Shenmue Town. Yes, that Shenmue.

Other than its winter Japanese launch window, we know next to nothing about Shenmue Town. In our heart of hearts, we imagine you mingle around crowds of other real life players, asking if anyone knows anyone who speaks Chinese, or if anyone knows where a dude can find some sailors around these parts.

There was supposed to be some sort of Shenmue online game quite a while ago, but it never went anywhere. Lets hope history doesn't repeat itself.

me heart Shenmue

Finally! I'd wandered through so many other towns, and no one could tell me about the incident. You know, the incident with the black car; the incident with the black car on the night when it snowed. That incident.
