Looks like fans of Sega's Shenmue will have to pick up an Xbox for more Shenmue games, as Microsoft and Sega have announced a new deal which will see Shenmue sequels appearing exclusively on the Xbox in the U.S market, with new Phantasy Star Online games appearing on the Xbox as well, though not exclusively. Sega and MS will also work together to create a motherboard for arcade machines based on Xbox technology.

If you think MS/Sega is so evil, what do you think of the Sony/Square deal? Or even the Nintendo/Capcom deal? If you wanna play Square games you need to buy a PS2. If you want to play upcoming Resident Evil games you have to buy a Gamecube.

It would be cool to see a Dreamcast emulator on the Xbox...
I handled the controller at an EBX the other day, they look wacky but feel really nice. They're fatter, and fill your hands well, unlike the dreamcast's and the ps(haven't tried the ps2...) The buttons are solid, the only problem I could see was that going from the joystick thing to the gamepad requires you to reposition your hand a little. I don't know, but I liked it.

Way to go sega you still have the ability to piss of your loyal fans when you quit supporting a system.

I really didnt like Shen Mu but I can understand the feelings of betrayal, disappointment.

although ive been wishing shenmue 3 was going to be on xbox, and it looks like it is

the only thing that your save game brings over are your items that you collected in shenmue 1 (Big deal... bunch of toys =P) and your fighting stats, which isnt a big deal since you can really get your fighting stats up if you just practice a move for a while....

I wouldn't mind paying 25 cents to play one game on the XBox. However, with Microsoft's mentality, they'll probably make it $1.75 for one credit.
