"Shenmue II"

Does anybody know whether you can still use your saved game from the orignal Shenmue in Shenmue 2?

I heard a while ago that this was going to be allowed but since then, everything seems to have been cancelled for the Dreamcast and I was wondering whether this feature has survived.

As far as I know you can still use saved bits from the first!!
It is suppose to be released over here on the 30th November!!

And also, what's happened to Official Dreamcast Mag. I can't find it in any shops.

Sonic and Knuckles really wasn't worth buying as a standalone cart, I think. Only one extra level yah, but it just didn't stand tall as a game.

With Sonic 3 though, it became an excellent game.

I'm not sure what's going on there. At the end of Shenmue, you're told you have to wait until Shenmue to is released until you complete it, (which to my mind is a totally unacceptable marketing ploy to ensure the sequel sells), yet I assume you won't have to have played Shemue in order to play Shenmue 2.

I'm not happy.

A game should be totally independant of all sequels and prequels. Giving 'extras' to those who do have the other one isn't fair - it's depriving those who don't, simply in order to persuade people to get both.

Same thing with Banjo Tooie and Banjo Kazooie. Not quite sure about Sonic & Knuckles though... that was a bit different.

Yes, It will be released 'All over Europe'.
And get this, we Europeans will be the only people to get the game in the English language!!!
In America it has been cancelled!

It Is definately set for December 4th. And the VMU Save from Shenmue will be transported over somehow. And this is CONFIRMED by Sega-Europe.

Hooray.

Excellent. I'll go finish Shenmue 1.

I heard a while ago it was being released over here on the 30th of November. It's on SR databases and it's still listed for a 30th November release. Plus, I've just claimed it as my GAD so IT WILL BE RELEASED!!!!

Can anyone even confirm if it's being released in the Uk?

I even had to go to Gameplay to see if it had been released... they said it's going to be, but they're Gameplay, and I can't trust them. Damn dirty Gameplay, as a certain member might say.

On the VMU front, no idea. I don't want to look too hard into Shenmue 2 in case I see any spoilers, and I haven't even completed the first game yet.
