Although, before this happens, Shenmue must regain the momentum it had when it was first released on the Dreamcast (especially if something expensive -like an anime- is to be created).
Honestly, if Sega doesn't make Shenmue HD happen, they really should consider a manga of the first two games, or a movie (even releasing Shenmue The Movie and making one of II) before III comes out.
I know they don't have a financial stake in it, but a relatively small number of people have access to the first two games (there's what, like 2 million copies of each out there, including broken/junked ones and ones that people own multiples of?)
Yeah it only takes a few artists to make a manga, right? It probably won't cost much and they open up a new avenue for everyone to become acquainted with the story before the release of Shenmue 3.
And of course all of us will be all over this crap.
