1UP is asking for your vote regarding best games of the year! & the good news is that Virtua Fighter 5 has been nominated as the best game of the year!!!

Don't forget to vote for SEGA games in their list(since SEGA needs more money for making games like Shenmue).

Update: 4 Dec 2007

Virtua Fighter 5 Xbox 360 is out !, now what's our duty as "SEGA-AM2/Virtua Fighter & related games" fans?

1-If we don't know about Virtua Fighter 5 we should see these scores and read these reviews!(well, I'm sure that you already know that it's the world's best fighting game ever!)

Here are must see-read scores & reviews:

1UP 10/10 (10/10 for SEGA-AM2's VF5, well deserved!!!)

2-Now we should buy if we like it!

3-Even if we don't want to buy it now we should be able to let people know more about this great game via forums and etc

4-We should also give it a high user score(like 1UP's score!) at gaming sites like IGN, 1UP and Game Spot(well, if we have an username in their sites we should do this before it gets too late!), we can also add it to our collection/now playing or wish lists...here are major VF5 pages IGN's page, 1UP's page and Game Spot's page (Let's give it a high user score at Game Spot before other sites)

5-Ok, let's support SEGA-AM2's Virtua Fighter 5 in any way we can! like the ways I showed to you earlier...

"Please, keep an eye open for our exclusive december review!"

BTW there is a great free-roaming game called Naruto:Rise Of A Ninja which is now avaialbe too!(some Shenmue fans and fighting fans should definatly check that Xbox 360 title too!)

Buying Virtua Fighter 5 X360=Supporting SEGA-AM2

Yes, finally world's best coming game is coming for the Xbox 360 before 31 October 2007 in everywhere! & it means that we should wait just for two more weeks...HELL YES!

Buying VF5 is not just buying a better VF5 based on Ver C, better graphics & ONLINE mode but it's also supporting Shenmue's developer! SEGA-AM2

Beside Virtua Fighter is still Yu Suzuki's creation and everytime this title sells well, it makes SEGA to think more about Yu Suzuki and SEGA-AM2.

So, please buy it as soon as you saw it...it's not only a new fighting game for X360(after Dead Or Alive 4) but it's also the best fighting game ever,...you'll see!

Let's see who will buy VF5 X360 before anyone else!!!LOL!.

Ok, here are the newest updates:

VF5 X360 has gone gold

VF5 X360 demo available(no Online play in the demo version)

TGS07 COVERGE LAST PART, YS was at TGS!/More Kenzan info!

A 1UP editor has seen Yu Suzuki at Tokyo Game Show 2007!!!

If you check out this picture then you'll know why a busy media like IGN couldn't find him anywhere!, yes! a 1UP editor has just seen Yu Suzuki at TGS 2007!

HERE is their info, and HERE is a direct link to his picture!, This shows that he is still busy with analyzing the game indusrty!

As editor(also the picture) says Yu Suzuki was at Microsoft's booth to check out Assassin's Creed X360 (a next gen PS3/X360 game which has some similar features in comparing with Shenmue!). Can we guess that he was there to analyze his new competitors? as you may know Assassin's Creed is Ubi Soft's new IP which can be a little Shenmue-like game mainly because of it's dynamic world & free-roaming game play.

Best Wishes For Mr.Yu Suzuki and his next gen projects.

We are waiting for "YOU"...

Thirsty for some more info about third Yakuza or Kenzan! ?

Well, we liked to see Shenmue 3 before Yakuza 3 but it didn't happen!, anyway here are more info about Nagoshi san's third game in the Yakuza aka Ryu Ga Gotoku franchise!

TGS COVERGE#2

IGN's response , they're still with us!

During last days I asked from IGN.com to find Yu Suzuki at TGS and ask him about Shenmue 3 for us!, (well, if it is possible!)

Now they've made a small mention as a response to my request for Shenmue fans & it's at the end of their newest TGS article!

IGN said: ...We looked for Yu Suzuki to ask him about Shenmue 3, but couldn't find him anywhere. Our apologies...

It's good that a big site like IGN makes a Shenmue mention during TGS 2007!, So a BIG thanks to IGN for this!, here you can see their response yourself!, it's the last two lines of their article

TGS07:Yakuza among a number of games for excellence

TGS07-Shenmue Talk

Like last years, no Shenmue 3 at TGS!(as we expected!),
but just look at NiGHTS! it is back after more than 10 years
because it's name was alive!!! so, let's keep Shenmue's name alive too! & keep this in mind that the number of people who have playedthe first NiGHTS game on the Saturn is much lower in comparing with the number of
people who have played both Shenmue games on the Dreamcast and Xbox.

19-20 Sep 2007

ALL IN ONE, more than one news in a single update!

AM-Plus is open & Suzuki-san is working!
SEGA RACE TV is AM-Plus's new game &

We wish big sucess for this new fun to play game!
since it's a YS game after years, any success
for this YS game can mean more games from
Yu Suzuki's team in near future!!!

Tons of stuff for this game:
Official Site!
IGN's info
A video, low quality but good enough!

^Speical Thanks to Kiyuu & Yutaka Suzuki for most of the links.

Third RGG! one of SEGA's big 5 titles for TGS!

Ryu Ga Gotoku:Kenzan!(Yakuza:Kenzan!) announced.

Ryu Ga Gotoku aka Yakuza was a very successful
high budget free roaming game from SEGA's Toshihiro Nagoshi
in Japan because this title was on the right platform!
(yes, we mean last gen's best seller and most popluar console)
so, in about 3 years we are going to see the third Ryu Ga Gotoku
from Nagoshi san but it's a prequel!

(We liked to see Shenmue III).

More stuff for this game:
http://tgs.sega.jp/pavilion01.html

Don't expect to see Shenmue III at this TGS(like last years)

Because SEGA's 5 Shock(According to themsleves)for TGS are:

1-Ryu Ga Gotoku:Kenzan! aka Yakuza 3 PS3(Well, the birth of this franchise was on the right console! so it goes on...although it didn't really need a prequel!)

2-Nights:Journey Of Dreams Wii(After more than 10 years NiGHTS is back, Saturn wasn't a successful enough for SEGA's bussiness but NiGHTS fans are lucky!!! & now this title is a HOT title in IGN's TGS coverage with a great RANK)

3-Shiren 3 Wii(Shiren 3! not Shenmue 3)
4-Imabiki PS3(A Fatal Frame Killer??? *&?!HO HO HO)
5-Valkyria Of Battlefield PS3(Another HOT Exclusive for PS3!)
