Shenmue City is a game in the Shenmue series released for smartphones in Japan. The game was conceived as a way of relaunching the game franchise by series creator Yu Suzuki. It was announced in late 2010 for cell phones and also for PCs, but only a cell phone version was released. The game was discontinued in late 2011.
James and Matt discuss the history of the game, react to the presentation footage, check out the official website, along with musical interludes and a quiz from Terry!
