'Fighting Vipers 2' was released on the SEGA Dreamcast 25 years ago today in Japan.

Lan Di escaping at the end of Shenmue 1 on the boat really means more than just the villain getting away! It focuses on the scar on his face which is in the same location that Ryo's scar is located on his face! It shows how similar they are but not really. #LetsGetShenmue4

Joining us on this week's #SaturdaySnapshot, we've got a guest appearance from Shenhua and... a cow? 🐄🏞️ We hope the bright blues and greens of Bailu village bring a bit of colour to your weekend, Shenmue fans. 💙 #LetsGetShenmue4 #SEGA

Full version (and all credit) to Brandon Wiebe over on YouTube. I found the original upload of this way, way back in the day, and I've hummed it once a month or so ever since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h70k...

Shenmue Dojo Show - Bonus Show - End of Year Review 2025 James and Matt embark on a full review of the key news topics from 2025 in this now traditional round-up. 2025 was a busy year with S3E announced, THAT trailer and more! Will 2026 be the year of Shenmue 4? youtu.be/zNSELXyjcZI

Obviously amazing for more Shenmue; the new engine providing a nice variety to the series while retaining the classic aesthetic--plus a solid foundation toward future iterations! Still will always love the original Dreamcast look and feel, but they successfully designed a modern version!

These screenshots are from the cut content of Miao Village, which was going to be in Shenmue 2 before it was removed due to time and that's a true shame! It would have been interesting to see how it would have panned out. #LetsGetShenmue4

OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR 2026 - DISCUSSION AND THOUGHTS - Shenmue Dojo Matt and James discuss their hopes and expectations for 2026. Will we see Shenmue 4? How about Shenmue 3 Enhanced? What will happen there? All that and MORE! 📺 youtu.be/POLwY2qE4Uc #LetsGetShenmue4

Seeing the Shenmue III title screen after 18 years of waiting... can you remember how surreal that was? I could physically feel every single one of those years that had come and gone since I'd finished Shenmue II. So much had changed, and yet in that moment nothing had changed. #LetsGetShenmue4

Another important lesson in Shenmue aside from the importance of friendship and maturity/growth is listening and never straying from the honest path because staying on that path will result in great things happening to you! Credit: screenshot belongs to @clunkymage.bsky.social! #LetsGetShenmue4

Here's a gorgeous illustration from Shenmue II's development 🏯 This gives us serious Man Mo Temple vibes, with a dose of the Hazuki Dojo in there as well. We're not sure who the figure kneeling could be... our money is on Ryo or Iwao. What do you think? #ThrowbackThursday #SEGA #LetsGetShenmue4

Shenmue did so much for the modern gaming landscape that it's even amazing that it came out as long ago as 1999 and is from two decades ago! The open world genre wouldn't be what it was without Shenmue and it owes it's innovation to what Shenmue did. #LetsGetShenmue4

The forklift races are the best parts of Shenmue because it builds a great rapport with your co-workers at the harbor and it's a good warm up for the work day ahead and gets you in good spirits! There's nothing refreshing like racing in the harbor before starting work. #LetsGetShenmue4

Happy Monday, Shenmue fans 🌄 Take a minute out of your busy day to soak up the vibes of Guilin. No matter how crazy life gets, the Lijiang River keeps flowing, the trees keep swaying, and the mountains don't change. #MondayMotivation #SEGA #LetsGetShenmue4

What a week! Time to stagger back home and put your feet up. 🏠🍵 Ine-san keeps the Hazuki residence nice and warm for Ryo after a long day of forklifting and searching for the Mad Angels. He deserves a break, and so do you! 💙 #FridayFeeling #SEGA #LetsGetShenmue4
