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.

Does that mean everyone will go "How about a game of Lucky Hit?"

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.

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.

Shenmue, the game that refuses to die.
Heh, kind of neat. Hopefully if it does well Sega will think about making a new console Shenmue.

I really want to finish Shenmue I on the Dreamcast, but I always lose interest at the forklift part.
Maybe its time to try again...from the start.

This is pretty cool. I hope it does really well and they make a 3rd game.
