“As a developer on the original games, the last thing I wanted for the re-release
is for them to be worse than the originals,” Sega’s Eigo Kasahara said during IGN Japan’s Tokyo Game Show 2018 live stream.
Sadly, that is pretty much what happened with the Western release of Shenmue I & II. The game released for PS4/Xbox One/PC (Steam) on August 21 in North America and Europe, and while it received generally favorable reviews and positive fan feedback, the port was far from perfect. Sega released a day-one-patch, but Shenmue I & II still suffered from numerous bugs, including sound and graphics glitches, cutscenes not playing correctly, swapped button issues, training progress not being saved and much more.
