The heck with Shenmue 1
Nevermind Shenmue 2
and forget about Shenmue 3.
Seriously folks. we don't need to see a re-release of the original Dreamcast game in XBLA. not to mention its a game that's too big to fit their cap on game sizes. And Shenmue 2 on XBO is novel, but wouldn't have any real continuity from its previous game, like keeping all items, fight moves, and your experiences you spent a bazillion hours building up from the first game. And finally the same goes with a disconnected Shenmue 3 from the first 2 games.
What we really need, is a game called 'SHENMUE'. as in the way it was originally meant to be. A game that includes all 16 chapters as one game, including parts 1-3. Keep everything as is (unless they care to beef up visuals for the next gen consoles and tweak some of the controls for these newer controllers), just port them all into one single game, where all the experiences, items collected, and the story itself is simply in one huge gaming experience.
The game's already made (yes, including part 3, aside from being english dubbed), just piece them together and release it. As oppose to giving us 3 separate sources to play this one story. XBLA for the first game? XBO for the second? and store bought for the third??? come on...that's seriously separating any new fans who dont care to chase after the individual games, especially if they never heard of it. Give it to us as one game, one story, on one dvd bought for $60-$70 on store shelves.
I actually HALF Agree with you , and that half completely agrees with you. While I can not stop in my pursuit for the resurrection of Shenmue I just can't ignore any of the possible ways we can get the Shenmue we want and were your idea to pass and somehow come to fruition I would absolutely fine with that

Honestly I feel that the original goals listed so many time here and in Chapter One of the Shenmue thread (still bitter about its needless closing) are more likely of a means seeing as how it provides MORE revenue for WHOEVER in the DeveloperWorld picks up this awesome I.P. and even though I want the resurrection of Shenmue done with only the proper love and respect it deserves there is no getting around the language all companies speak "Profit" and 3 potential products to sell means more for them over 1 product even if it is the super'est product to hit any shelves be it storefront or virtual.
In reference to an earlier idea of which companies us as fans think might do the job "the right way" let me add to the list -
1.Bethesda
2.TakeTwo
3.BioWare
4.Valve
((of course that is just IMHO and I would love to hear who you guys think might do a proper job if MS and/or Sega don't make the magick happen with Shenmue))
