Shenmue creator wants to make Shenmue III

Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki has told Famitsu in a recent interview that he wants to make Shenmue 3.
Speaking at an event unveiling a new mobile game in the series, Shenmue City, Suzuki discussed his desire to create a third game.
“I want to make 3 with the same volume as in the past. There have actually been a lot of requests from fans for 3 as well. There were even petitions signed by by tens of thousands of people. I wanted to carry out my obligations for the series.”
The only issue with developing Shenmue 3 would be that they might blow money on development for the game not to sell. Sega’s said in the past that if a first-party were to endorse them, they’d trade for exclusivity.
Thanks, Andriasang.

Yea I watched the stream, he seemed like he wanted to do a Shenmue 3 so bad.
You already know how bad I want this game to happen.
I do feel its inevitable now though, were getting Shenmue 3 sometime this year or 2011
If the game was released and didn’t sell it would be a very sad day indeed. Shenmue is one of the most original and infinately playable series’ I have ever experienced – and this news of his intentions excite me a lot!
The problem is that you can’t expect a Shenmue 3 to sell too well in today’s game industry. It’s not exactly a brand name, and a sequel might not be the best place to start in a story-heavy series.
yes please make it happen :D
also release the first 2 as Playstation 2 HD remakes. that would be sweet :)
