Let’s keep the ball rolling on Sega nostalgia-related news, shall we? (The studio’s on a roll this week — first the awesome Platinum Games announcements, now all these random tidbits).
According to a poster on GameFAQs who has a hold on an early copy of Swedish gaming rag GameReactor, Sega is porting both episodes of the Dreamcast classic series Shenmue to Nintendo’s console.
The allegedly existent blurb reads:
“Shenmue is back!
Sega has re-released classics like Nights, Bass Fishing and House of the Dead lately. Now it’s said that Shenmue is next. But don’t think that it’s about a new game, instead, they’re bringing back the two original Shenmue games with extra Wiimote-minigames which will be released for the Wii.”
The Quick Time Events in Shenmue could certainly work with Wii controls, so this doesn’t seem too far-fetched, but for now keep this in the rumor pile next to Dreamcast 2 and Diablo III.
