Best VGM 1046 - Shenmue - Christmas on Dobuita Street

[TheSquidPro]

Are you guys for real? All you do in this game is run around telling fuck-san not to be a snitch, and looking for rowdy sailors in a ???(bar).

[BeatBurst]

@TheSquidPro You forgot racing forklifts >:C

Merry Christmas BTW c:

I haven't played any of these games, but I remember hearing a beautiful song from the series on SMBZ called "Daily Agony".

[heyjeySigma]

dunno why this reminds me of the final day from Majora's mask... maybe it got that sense of melancholy in it.. or maybe nostalgia getting the better of me =S

either way i want shenmue 3!! yakuza series doesnt compare.. bawww

[raccoonstarsmember]

1 of the greatest game ever

[azaki44]

I've started this game for the first time two days ago.

I'm so shameful that I haven't played that game before. There's so much to do in it, it's wonderful.

I read on the internets that the end of the Shenmue story will come in the third episode. I hope that a third episode is in preparation.

Just starting to play it again for christmas, after all Ryo´s journey started in December 25 years ago

@terislb

Same,started playing through again this month =D Seem's fitting really.

Always tried to stretch my run of this out as much as I could so I could Dobuita transformed into a festive wonderland xD The amount of detail put in just for that month was fantastic.

hard to believe that this is only the 3rd Shenmue track on the list. There's so much great music from Shenmue. such a Christmassy song ;_;

*Infinitely Repeating*

[ToolOtaku]

Using the "snow" feature with this song, awesome.

[tattswein]

Why did the dreamcast have to die =(

[Kelvari7882]

@tattswein The sad-but-honest truth can actually be tracked back to the launch of the Sega Saturn - several months ahead of schedule, the 3rd-party developers that they had managed to get to sign on were quite upset by having to rush the games that they were working on. Because of this, when Sega went to launch the Dreamcast, there wasn't anyone willing to sign on as a dedicated 3rd-party developer.

[dmdollinar08]

What a cool, tranquil song

[LittleDragon5]

We got blue balled on the Shenmue series.

Not releasing Shenmue 3 = biggest tease ever.

:(

[Arc13]

At least Mega64 talked to the creator and gave us the finale.

[TenshiLurodi]

Woah nostalgia

[Ko0314]

Should do a Diddy Kong Racing Winter Track! I listen to one going to work and I can't remember what the name was. It's the one where you race right by a few house and theres a cave right next to them. That song always made me happy and now hearing it without the ingame noises, It has a very Chirstmas feel to it!

[Pander8874]

@Ko0314 frosty village? :D

[hanz101]

tears welled up in my eyes.

just the nostalgia getting to me.

"How about a game of lucky hit!"

[streatz11]

Have you seen a black car? lol took me hours to get past that part either way glad I didn't quit playing this epic game.

[Katana991]

I hope they re-release these games. I just came across them recently and they look really good!

[hypersonic1337]

It makes me almost sad that this game is 10 years old now. Such a good time.

[crome66]

You should do Quiet Winter from Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life :) i mean, if you want to..

[Aeoncalcos91]

GREAT game! Awesome choice.

[Bleachlover01]

We still need Shenmue 3. Anytime Sega. :/

Also, Panzer Dragoon remake would be nice.

[xOmniCloudx]

Shenmue 3, need now.

[PistolShrimp2]

Have you seen any sailors around here?

[LinkEX]

Never heard of this game.

That track has a nice soothing atmosphere that not just suits Christmas. In fact, i wouldn't have guessed it's supposed to be a Christmas track if it wasn't stated in the title.

Although the chimes at the end make you think of a cold lit-up night in an old town with a church near by. But that's just my culturally biased mind thinking here :P

[totlyepic]

Absolutely beautiful.

[ashzwz]

this is a pritty intense track

[SupraDarky]

A purely atmospheric track. I've already said in one of my previous uploads, but the Shenmue series is one of my favorites of all time, easily in my Top 10. Probably the most engrossing games I've played. I miss this series, I'll have to replay both games to get my Shenmue fix.

[theultimatename1]

@SupraDarky you should do winter tundra from spyro 2, if u want it's your series

[Terry3571]

@SupraDarky That's surely in my future too!

[passtheketchup123]

@SupraDarky I've been meaning to play Shenmue for a while now. How would one get their hands on this game if they don't own a dreamcast?

[jasamdomo]

@passtheketchup123

emulation

[Locojameseo]

@SupraDarky Thanks for the continuing uploads! And definitely agree with you re. Shenmue, best time of year to play it :) Merry Christmas!
