Microsoft and Sega, please make Shenmue 2 an XBOX Originals download on XBOX Live.

Shenmue II was tricky, it's fan base was on Dreamcast (which purchased over 1 million copies of part one) and a majority of that fanbase was western.  But Shenmue II was not released in US on Dreamcast :( Luckily Microsoft scooped it up and got it over here for us.  Unfortunatly Shenmue II was very quietly released in the background against some heavy hitting holiday games, and not all the Dreamcasters jumped to xbox....

If we could get Shenmue (Dreamcast) and Shenmue II (xbox) on the download service, I think EVERY Shenmue fan would pick up a 360.  I mean thats what we really want, all the games in one place so that Shenmue III can be released without a "catch up movie".

Shenmue is not "in demand". If it were Shenmue II would have actually sold, and there would be a Shenmue III.

Well, apparently it is, as you can see it is currently the #1 demanded game for Xbox Originals.

    I've yet to play either game but I am interested, so bring us Shenmue.

*** yes.

I loved Shenmue.

count me in! I'd buy Shenmue II on XBL in a heartbeat.

Bring on Shenmue III!!!

It would be GREAT!!! And it would be f****** good if Shenmue I is on the the XBL Market!

It would be GREAT!!! And it would be f****** good if Shenmue I were on the the XBL Market too!

I love shenmue and i would kill to have it on the marketplace, and if it gets on there more and more people get exposed to its greatness and that will bring us all Shenmue 3.

I agree I would buy shenmue 3 in a heart beat I have been wating for this game for 7 + years! Also As stated before it would be a boost in morale for gamers and for sega for fans to finally have a great action RPG and sega to finally make money on blockbuster game!  cheers! -Rich

definatly bring Shenmue 1 and 2 to Xbox live. I would definatly download the game. I played the first two games and even by today's standards these games are some of the best games ive played.

A few days ago, I asked Sega France's PR Manager if Sega games like Shenmue II, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future could be part of the Xbox Originals. Even though he didn't have any official information to give me, he told me that it has a good chance of happening "sooner or later".

Here is the original post about that (in French) : http://www.gamick.fr/2007/11/vers-des-xbox-o.html

I'm not big on buying things over the marketplace, but I would definately buy shenmue I and II and play through them again on my xbox. Not only that, I would buy em just to support the name and hopefully one day we will see shenmue III.

this is ridiculous look at how many people want this game..Microsoft....Sega....just get to work OH and Suzuki ya better make shenmue 3 if you know whats good for ya..

For Mircosoft to bring back Shenmue and revitalize the franchise would be the greatest service they could do to their fans at the lowest cost to them. Please bring it back

I hope Mucrosoft sticks to their word and means it when they say itll be based by demand. Cause if Shenmue 2 isnt there, then they're a bunch of liars.

bring us Shenmue!... please!

SHENMUE!!!!!!!

I own a 360... and would kill to have SHENMUE I and II on this service..

also..please...continue with SHENMUE... do more promotion.. it's still the best game ever !!!

HAZUKI SAN!!!!! MUST KILL LAN DI!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

*** yeah i would deff buy shenmue II on marketplace. Hpefully soon i'll be able to buy shenmue 3

Also, remember Shenmue IIx came at a bad time for games not part of the Xbox Live push. There was pretty much no advertising for it. It could use the mulligan for Xbox Originals.

Oh god PLEASE let MS bring Shenmue to Xbox Originals. i was hooked ever since dreamcast and one MAJOR reason for me buying an original Xbox was to play Shenmue 2. I was completely devastate when they stopped Shenmue 3.
There has been a whole in my gaming heart that has yet to be filled ever since reaching the end
of SHenmue 2. I can honestly say that I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was made available.

I am also having QTE withdrawals...
