The producer and director of Shenmue, Yu Suzuki, finally reveals how the Shenmue series would have ended. Shame we'll never see Shenmue end especially after seeing how it was all supposed to play out.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I remember seeing that at the GDC awards. This and the Heavy Rain one were funny as hell. Also, I didn't notice it until now, but was that Cliff Blesinski beating the drum at 1:05, or is that just me?
Hmm... given how he said at GDC that he'll do Shenmue 3 if only someone would fund it I'm not sure what to think of this. At least he's got a sense of humour about how silly it is.
And what if I'd rather not to watch this video? I wouldn't like to ruin the surprise of the ending, and also, like very Shenmue fan, I still have a tiny bit of hope that someday Shenmue 3 will finally come out and I will be able to...
HOLY CRAP THAT ACTUALLY WAS SOME REALLY DOPE SHIT!!1!!!!!!!
I can't believe it took me till he was describing the Fork Lift Grand Prix to realize it was a joke. I totally bought the "riding the sword as a hoverboard" bit. Brilliant.
This depressed me in a way I haven't felt before. I at least wanted to see a real ending... this was comical but damn I want the complete Shenmue story. mmm I miss it.

Anyways... that would have been a totally wicked way to finish the saga :D
Also, please tell me he's actually saying this.
From the concept alone, Shenmue 3 had the potential to become Game of The Millennium!!
*Tip of the Hat to the Guys at Mega64 for this one!!

I really need to play this. C'MON, SEGA!
Mega64 is god.
Sega > Nintendo
I can personally confirm that he is saying all of this and it's being translated correctly. Genius.
I don't care about your precious time, this is for the sake of all that is good in the world!
This is the way Shenmue ends
