Shenmue 3 is so close, we can feel the punches. The latest trailer from Sega, Ys Net and Deep Silver hit the Net this morning, and they make one thing clear: Ryo’s fists will get a workout. Of course, getting into fist fights is only part of the Shenmue experience. There’s also wandering around, taking on odd jobs, buying useless trinkets from vending machines, and wasting your money at the arcade. We actually got a glimpse at the arcade games that will be available this time. The expected QTE simulator is there, and so is a pachinko machine, but will Sega be slipping in another of their arcade classics? They might just decide those are better off sold separately. Far more people are disappointed by Deep Silver’s decision to accept an Epic Games Store exclusivity deal than in the prospect of not having Hang-On or Space Harrier.

Whether or not a retail version of Shenmue III will actually be available upon launch for consoles is still not clear. According to VG24/7, an email exchange with the developer Ys Net stated that the company was still unsure whether it would make a physical edition of the long-awaited sequel available for PlayStation 4 players to buy. Initially, only digital versions of the game were offered to backers of the Kickstarter campaign. After some criticism from fans and a good deal of feedback from those who wanted to have a physical box of the game to keep Ys Net later added a $60 tier. However, it was unclear whether this backer edition of the title would be exclusive to Kickstarter contributors or would make its way to brick and mortar stores. For what it’s worth, a physical edition has already been confirmed for PC while Shenmue III might not even make it to other platforms such as the Xbox One. Shenmue III was first revealed during Sony’s E3 media briefing
