SEGA Europe’s Dan Sheridan stated in a SEGA central video on Wednesday that SEGA is “investigating” an HD re-release of Shenmue and Shenmue II.
Shenmue III was the highest funded video game Kickstarter campaign, although several game projects have since surpassed its total.
In June last year, The Guinness World Records site reported that Shenmue III was the fastest video game crowdfunding campaign to raise US$1 million in pledges.
SEGA released the first Shenmue on its Dreamcast console in Japan in 1999, and in North America in 2000.
