What's Shenmue Demo Disc Playthrough with Commentary
0In a basement game shop in Akihabara, Tokyo in the year 2004, I tickled my way through rows and rows of CD jewel cases full of Dreamcast GD Roms. The usual fare flipped by - De la Jet Set Radio, Vampire Chronicles, El Dorado’s Gate, and other common DC games found in unbelievably vast quantities back in those early days of Dreamcast obsolescence. Then I flicked past something that caught my eye and made my fingers quickly backtrack. A disc case with light blue artwork and the unmistakable overlay of something I’d seen thousands of times in one of my favorite Dreamcast games - the Phoenix Mirror.
The text on the front said “What’s” in English, and “Shenmue” beneath it in the familiar Japanese text. What’s Shenmue.
“What’s What’s Shenmue?” I thought.
I paid my yen and the man behind the counter bowed and handed back my as yet unknown to me Shenmue collectible. Nearly twenty years later I’m quite familiar with What’s Shenmue, an interesting and unique game. (Can I call it a game? A demo? A preview disc?)
Here’s everything you need to know about What’s Shenmue.
