Pleasantly surprised how much hype it's receiving in Japan. For some reason I always assumed Shenmue was more of a hit in the west, but it turns out Shenmue 1 actually sold big numbers in Japan. I can't remember the exact figures I read someone post on here before, but it was something crazy like 350k.
Especially with Esra doing the good work of highlighting new Yu Arcade games and Sega homage. That alone will prob sell copies to a diff crowd outside of Shenmue from Yu's arcade legacy.
And PR from industry vets like CDPR, Suda51, Swery, and Koshiro among others were wholesome and welcoming.
