Yu Suzuki's Shenmue 3 Could Yet Come To The Wii U 

I think the Wii U could be added as a stretch goal if fans make enough noise. I WANT to buy it on Wii U but as it stands, i'll be buying the PC version.

What is the saying? Grasping at straws?

Probably not

It might have an ok chance if momentum stays strong. Bloodstained, Yooka Laylee and Mighty No 9 all had Wii U support added due to the huge success they had, coupled with fan outcry, so I'd imagine Shenmue 3 might see a Wii U release.

No shot.

If we make enough noise and show that we want it on WiiU it could be added. I mean it is a kickstarter. Let our wallets do the talking

I'd love it if it could be added as a stretch goal as another recent Kickstarter did. I think it would easily make it! I'd love this game on Wii U - but will happily buy the PS4 version if that is the only one released.

Is there anyway of letting them known we want a Wii U version? My PC will most likely not be able to run this game so I'll definitely support this if it comes to Wii U!

Nintendo should try their own hand at a crowd funded game but add a different twist to it to make the process more "Nintendo"..

Not a hope, xbox 1 at most

I remember playing the first one on Dreamcast (BTW, when are Dreamcast games coming to the VC? That would be AWESOME!!), and NEVER getting into a battle... I just kept knocking on doors, trying to find the right one. Well, can't wait.

I really don't see the appeal of this game to anyone who hasn't played the first two, and if they don't remake those then that's a huge market they've lost out on.

Anyway this won't come to a Nintendo platform. I think it will come to Xbox One but then I wonder how much Sony has invested into it.

Holy Hell, that voice acting is bad...

This article is so desperate

Ohhh very excited by this announcement. I was hoping for something from e3 which would genuinely interest me and other than Just Dance (obviously) this is it. The rest of the show may as well be cancelled! I may have to invest in a current generation console before too long.

Now if only my 3ds had more stability and could run it.

Its kickstarter, i would not be surprised if they add a WiiU/XB1 goal at some point

Well, this game is scheduled to come out end 2017, but I reckon it will be 2018 at the earliest.

So will there be a Wii U version? No, but I'd say it's almost certain it will come to the NX.

@Parasky

I'm normally not uptight about these type of things but my eyes instinctively rolled the moment I read the actual quote.

@MrYuzhai I'm not sure what the point of that would be. They can easily fund their own games, kickstarter is for guys that need funding.

Nintendo isn't in one of those positions.

I would love if it hit a Nintendo Platform, I thought the first two games looked incredible (never played them).

This is a bit clickbaity. Wii U isn't even mentioned.

No shot at all and I'm disappointed that this article even exists.

Nothing comes to the Wii U.

"Built in Unreal Engine 4..."

My first instinct was that there was no chance of this happening, for the simple reason that Epic have flat out stated that Unreal 4 won't support Wii U. On the other hand, Bloodstained is being made in Unreal 4, and that's supposedly coming Wii-wards.
So now I'll just assume it's not coming to Wii U for the same reasons as every other big third party game.

45 million mark, still possible

I'd rather just accept the disappointment n try n focus on the games we will have.

Reminds me of that scene in "Dumb and Dumber"
"What are the odds, 1 in a million?"
" More like 1 in a billion"
" So you're telling me there's a chance"

I think Sony will most likely buy exclusive console rights to it, they seem VERY interested in the IP so no doubt they'll publish it on PS4 and buy exclusive rights.

I could be wrong but we'll see.

Nope, not gonna happen. Xbox probably wont' get it either, though they have a better shot.

Launch title for the NX is more possible.

Never played the first 2 games, but would be interested in trying number 3 if it came out on the Wii U.
(I was under the impression that Sony was co-funding this title since they announced it during their conference...)

As much as I'd love it to be on Wii U, it's probably very unlikely at the moment.

make it a stretch goal and maybe we would actually care, and donate as it stands, I want a Shenmue 3 to happen badly, but I'm not supporting it coming to PC and PS4.

Maybe. I'll get it on ps4 at some stage in 2018 I'm sure.

Also, I really don't like the new site layout, here, or on pushsquare. Can yous please change it back to the way the site was? It's way too busy on my phone and that's where I read your sites.

Please

I don't see why not.. that's what usually happens with these kickstarter games. Not interested personally but will nice for Wii U I guess.

I could see this happening if they got enough funds from fans. I have yet to play the originals.

It won't come to Wii U. Flat out. Now will it come to NX? Depends on when NX launches, when Shenmue 3 launches, and the capabilities of the NX. That seems like it at least has a snowball's chance.

Just glad it's not xbox only.

and thank god the rumors and trolling of Shenmue 3 will finally stop! I'm going to start looking for sailors to get a head start.

I will back this if the Wii U is a stretch goal.

It is going to pc so im good either way but I would love a wiiu version.

There's a better chance of Sega starting a kickstarter for a Dreamcast 2 console, that being built, and Shenmue 3 coming out on the Dreamcast 2, before the Wii U gets it.

Maybe NX.

Never played a Shenmue game before. Even if it doesn't materialise on the Wii U (which it won't, be serious), at least I can play it on the PC.

If it gets done and makes Shenmue justice with just $2 million (which I doubt) I will be happy even if it is PS4 and PC only.

Maybe the Shenmue devs asked Damo to write this article so he could gauge reaction from the Nlifers.......?

I really doubt it, but oh, my heart! I'd buy the crap out of it, if it did.

What really boggles my mind is that it might not come to Xbox One. Porting it would be so easy, and there's a lot of people that have them. Wii U might take a little work though, so I understand if they leave it out.

Probably not. No, certainly not. Like 90% sure it won't come, specially because the extra difficulty to downgrade tech aspects such as graphics and develop it with the Gamepad in mind.

Nope!

In my opinion Nintendo dropped the ball with this one. When they were cozying up with Sega they should have made this one of the games to be developed for Wii U. I think the console would be a great fit and the Kickstarter success shows there's obvious interest. Might have been a system seller but Sony slipped in first. If they remaster the first two as well this game might finally convince me to pick up a PS4. Maybe it could have convinced others to pick up a Wii U.

No. It can't. It really can't. Stop setting yourself up for disappointment.

Maybe it will. Armature is working on a version of Unreal Engine 4 for Vita & Wii U.

Backed this the second I heard about it. I really don't care what I play it on, I just have to play it.

Obviously Sony has made this happen, and the publicity its generated has been pretty immense. I think Nintendo should've funded this, had it built for Wii u from the outset.

By the tentacled beard of great Cthulhu, just quit with these "OH IT MAYBE COME TO WII U!!" articles already. It's like you guys have nothing to talk about and are padding your site with empty fluff articles. Shenmue on Wii U would sell worse than Shenmue on Dreamcast. There's no bloody point to doing it or even talking about it.

Wow! Shemnue III, after 14 years the story will finally end.
I was eight years old when Shemnue II released.............

the WiiU or any future Nintendo console has as much chances of getting this game as the WiiU being the worlds number one console!

I doubt it. It will probably be just PC/PS4.

Unreal Engine 4= Nope

Actually it would be nice to have this on Wii U, but how about NX?

Oh, I see... I mis-hyped myself. Thought we had something concrete. Well, I will take a realistic view and assume that it won't be coming. That way if it actually does, I'll be delightfully surprised

no point.

Sony is helping with the funding, in other words no chance.

When I heard all the hype regarding Shenmue 3 I thought: Its coming to Retail on PS4/XboxOne. But now its just a kickstarter?! I am confused!

It could, but it won't. Face it, the Wii-U is dead for all third party games. All it will get until Nintendo finally commits the mercy killing it deserves are first and second party titles and ports of Indie titles from smartphones. That's it.

No Shot! although I would buy it if it did. Seriously there is Noway. Sega will only bring the little kiddie games to Wii-U. Games like this go to PS4 And XboxOne. my money would be on XboxOne getting it since part 2 ended up on the original Xbox. Wii-U is such a flop its so frustrating.

It's more likely we'll see it on the Switch
