could have gone with a myriad of names for this one. Some examples
of what might have been are "De la Shenmue" or "Let's
Make a Shenmue Re-release". Eschewing fancy re-iterations, Sega
went with the quick and literal US Shenmue, and that's
exactly what it is. In the event that further illumination is
required, US Shenmue copies everything found in the American release
of Shenmue. Two distinctions should be made to discern the two
however: US Shenmue ships in a colorful, laminated box as shown to
the right and the game manual includes both Japanese and English
instructions. Four GD-Roms are enclosed within the game packaging.
Since US Shenmue hails from the Japanese market and meant for use in
that territory, US Shenmue only plays on a Japanese DC. A
chip-modified American or European DC capable of worldly boots will
also work. No DCX or Utopia boot-loader need apply. |
