Sega will port both parts of ´Shenmue´ to Wii, Swedish gaming magazine Gamereactor claims, according to GameFAQs forum user Saikobooru. He posted a scan from the magazine.

Here is Saikobooru´s translation:

Shenmue is back!

Sega has rereleased classics like Nights,Bass Fishing and House of the Dead lately. Now it’s said that Shenmue is next. But don’t think that it’s about a new game, instead, they’re bringing back the two original Shenmue games with additional Wiimote-minigames which will be released for the Wii.

The controversial (at least in my book) Surfer Girl had

posted rumours to the same effect. However, it was simply a matter of date before Sega would bring the financial flop that was ´Shenmue´, while undoubtedly being one of the most influential videogames ever, to another console. Wii, as the market leader worldwide, would be the natural choice.

The only question is whether Sega will simply port the first two games by as they did for ´House of the Dead´ or whether they are additionally considering ending the series with a make new ´Shenmue 3´.
