Its sequel dropped onto European and Japanese Dreamcasts in 2001 but didn&#8217;t arrive on American shores until Microsoft helped port it to the Xbox in 2002. A cult hit but a financial disaster, <em>Shenmue<\/em> was left in limbo until series creator Yu Suzuki revealed a Kickstarter for <em>Shenmue III<\/em> in 2015. The game launched four years later, but things have been quiet ever since.<\/p>    <p>But that&#8217;s not to say that fans have stopped asking for a <em>Shenmue IV<\/em> so they can continue the story.
