The ever lovely Shenmue Dojo have reported that Shenmue II will soon be compatible with the Xbox 360! Well it's about time, I guess the reason for me hanging onto my old Xbox is pretty much gone now..

I wouldn't be so hasty if I were you. Some of the recent changes over the "backwards compatible" games has lead to tons of people being totally screwed over when none of the games played correctly. For example, the list of problems when trying to play KotOR on the Xbox 360 is endless, even if it is "allowed".

Oh? I wasn't aware of that, the few games I've played have worked fine. But like I say there are only a few.. well I will keep that in mind.

What do you mean "will soon be compatible"? are they going to release a 360 compatible version? what would be the point of that??

More importantly, when are they going to release the next one??

Yeah, unfortunately I know of a few people who have been having problems with getting games to work which are backwards compatible for the Xbox 360. Apparently, they will be fixed, but I'm not sure at which time they have set it all to be ready again.

Not sure when the next one is coming out. Sorta stopped being interested in Shenmue a while ago, to be honest.

hopefully all the secrets will work. I know when I tried to watch the stripper movies on bmx xxx on the 360, I couldn't.

The only problems I've noticed thus far is that the changing the colour thingie doesn't work (like anyone used it anyway) and occasionally it has problems with background music when you're walking around the quarters. I'm just starting the Fangmei birthday secret and aim to get all the special events done on this save so I will let you know if anything goes wrong

that's ok too. god, when will shenmue 3 be out?! I'm dying out here.

SEGA won't confirm even if it is or isn't in production. It's pretty much "no comment" from them recently, many people are thinking (hoping) we will hear something once Shenmue Online is released.

We have a forum for Shenmue Online and also the Shenmue Dojo have a good section about it here.

Got this the other day, pretty good, gets a bit boring, all seems to be about making money, and the job is no where near as good as in number 1, just a bloke making an annoying noise.

But alright none the less.

I tend to gamble for income rather than do the crates job, Delin's voice can get a bit annoying

It's a great game and is how compatible with the 360.. saves me buying an xbox
