Shenmue is a series that is known for being a goofy game about sailors and forklifts because the English dub makes those moments memeable and leads to the series being mocked and ridiculed.

The Japanese version is 100% better.

The 34th AM Show, held on Sept. 12-14, 1996, had major representation by Sega. It's booth was one of the largest at an expo that had strong showings from Namco and Capcom. Alongside a row of VF3 cabinets, a high-end promo video of the game was on display and drew huge and constant crowds.

1. I’ve now been doing this long enough that I’m doing retrospectives on games I covered the first time around. So in this photo from the story, you can spot preview code Sony sent us when I worked at 1UP, which is conveniently dated 7/25/05 — a few months before the game shipped.

A photograph shows old preview code of Shadow of the Colossus, a copy of Edge magazine with the game on its cover, and two old promotional DVDs for the game.

It's been 26 years since SEGA's Dreamcast launched in Europe/PAL regions! Last year, the DreamPod brought you an audio retrospective on the highs & lows of the launch, covering as many countries as we could - including the disastrous launch in Australia.

Ryo learns a lot from all manner of teachers during his journey... often from people you might not expect to be martial arts experts! Perhaps it's part of his destiny to meet these people?

Last year, to mark the Dreamcast’s 25th anniversary in Europe, I shared an article offering a unique look at its launch, with unseen documents and exclusive details. At least I didn’t forget that important date😂😂😂👇

With the release of the Hokkaido-set Ghosts of Yotei, many abroad are having their first exposure to Japan's vast northernmost main island. But how did Hokkaido, home to the indigenous Ainu, once known as Ezo, become part of Japan? One of our earliest videos explores just that. youtu.be/VJTfGfwY878

Sketch dump of my four favourite characters from #shenmue

I want a Wan Chai spin off anime so much! Not as much as I want Shenmue 4, but while making the game why not have a cheeky little anime series set in Hong Kong? What are the Heavens up to without Ren?

Izumi Takano was actually supposed to be what Nozomi was going to be in Shenmue 1 but they ended up going with Nozomi as we know her now. Izumi Takano was eventually saved for Shenmue 2 and that was the right choice in the end.
