I am afraid it doesn't, I went out and bought it about 6-8 months ago. I dont know if they have upgraded the compatibilty since.

I was right gutted, I almost felt like getting a dreamcast just to play 1 and 2 again. I absolutely loved the game, and I really hope the 3rd does come out.

Reminds me when i dropped an email to Sega Europe a few years back asking if there would be a revival of Shinobi. I was told that there was no plans to do one... Then it came out on the PS2 a year or so later... :rolleyes:

Sega will never get back up to revive such a franchise that costed them so much money. They are barely struggling along as it is with Sonic, and the recently announced NiGHTS sequel.

forget sonic, that series of games died after megadrive did. :rolleyes:

edit: no wait, dreamcast ones were ok. ;P

What Nights is getting a remade for the next gen? That will be so cool if they do it well.

Nothing is confirmed yet. It is just a rumour because NGamer and the Official Nintendo magazine hinted at an old franchise getting a long overdue makeover, then they had a picture of stars which made the outline of the NiGHTS logo.

I reckon it will end up being something else.

"Despite any rumours, Shenmue III is not at any stage of development, and is not in Sega's plans. "This is hardly an official statement, but I can tell you that despite rumours to the contrary, there is nothing in the works for Shenmue III. However, SEGA is aware of Shenmue's position and the special place it holds for fans, and we would never discount the possibility of doing another one.

There is no Shenmue 3 in the works because Suzuki-san is too busy on Shenmue online and will be for another couple of years at least. There is every possibility that he would want to do a Shenmue 3, but the general feeling is that it won't happen in the next 3-5 years; or until SEGA reaches it's current business goals - That is to become a top 3 publisher.

I'd tell our fans not to give up hope- but not to hold their breath either"

Releasing Shenmue III would make you a top three publisher!!!!

Shenmue online will flop, i bet.

They should cancle that and work on Shenmue 3. Save money :rolleyes:

wannabedamned · 18 Mar 2007 at 21:40

They can't do that, Split a story into several chapters, and then we never get to finish the whole story. How annoying!

I love shenmue, I love it to pieces, I just pray they create the rest of the series, Even finish it at 3 if they have to!! We have to know the ending dammit!!
