Let's take a walk through Three Blades Street and take in the sights and sounds. 🏙 Such a tiny street in just one of the areas in the game, and yet it's so full of life, energy and character.

Get yourself down to Ajiichi Chinese Restaurant before you jump into the weekend! 🍜 It's been a long week, so let Tao-san cook you up one of his specials, and enjoy the rich smells coming from the kitchen.

Shenmue Remake Trailer - Fan-Made by LanDC Community legend LanDC has allowed us to pop this on our channel. What if Shenmue were remade for a modern generation? This fan-made concept reimagines the original Shenmue while preserving the atmosphere, story, characters, and essence that made the classic so memorable. Updated visuals, environments, and cinematic presentation bring Ryo Hazuki’s journey to life with a fresh modern touch—while staying true to the spirit of the original. This is a non-profit fan concept created purely for entertainment and creative purposes. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by SEGA or the original creators. There is no intention to release any playable game. NOTE - Many of you will note this is AI. Whatever side of the fence you site on the wider debate, the intention from the creator is to show a concept/what if scenario. This is made by someone who has dedicated years to Shenmue, understands the series, it's lore and wants this series to continue. It is made with the intention of showing what could be possible and to give something for Shenmue fans to enjoy if they so wish.

SHENMUE 1 AND 2 60FPS AND FLATSCREEN MOD - Shenmue Dojo Building from work of yesteryear (full credits and details on our site) we have a new mod from Tensai37. 60FPS in Shenmue 1 and 2 + combining a Widescreen mod too! How does it handle? Matt tests it out! This mod is more than just a bundle; it fixed the issues with NPC movement in Dobuita, automatically switches to 30fps when needed and fixed frame times. The only things it carried over was the widescreen logic and initial 60fps logic but heavily adapted. Full Details - https://shenmuedojo.com/media/shenmue-i-ii-flatscreen-widescreen-60-fps-fix/ Download Link -https://github.com/Tensai30/shenmue120fpsfix/releases/download/1.0/Shenmue-I-II-Widescreen-120FPS-Fix-1.0.exe Credits - Some credit may belong to the following modders, but the code has changed so much that I honestly no longer know which parts remain. If I left you out and you would like to be credited, please let me know: DerPlayer Philzyeah Lemonhaze Ner0 Esppiral Ramonf Link to previous modding projects whereby this mod has been inspried from and additional credits – https://github.com/Shenmue-Mods/ShenmueDKSharp Shenmue Dojo is not responsible for producing this mod, nor the credit attached to this work.
