If you're an expert gamer or a newbie gamer, you MUST have heard of Yu Suzuki! He's THE MAN! Not many people are praised individually in the gaming industry, but Yu Suzuki, Yuji Naka and Shigeru Mayamoto are the ones who made big-time. Yu Suzuki works for AM2, a games devision of Sega(originally Sega Enterprises). Originally, there were a multitude of AM's. Some still exist, but AM2 is famous. Yu Suzuki was the man the made it happen. If you asked me to name the fastest racer in the world, I'd say OutRun(Still one of the fastest racers ever!) which was done by Suzuki-san. The most innovative new game genre, I'd say Shenmue. Low and behold it was made by Yu Suzuki! I havn't got all his games here, but the more information I pick up, the more I'll put in for this genius. Praise him. He deserves it.
ROAREYE!

This was one of the games that made Yu Suzuki what he is today. There were two versions, though they were often re-released in compilations exactly the same.

I'm not sure whether this was done by the same company who made the previous installments (AM2) but whoever did it still managed to sustain most of it's vital elements for an AfterBurner game.

Easy missions:
Set the view option to "Cockpit" and rolling option to "Free". Begin game play and fly with full afterburners. Turn the plane at a 45 degree angle and continuously fire your guns. Quickly tap Up or Down to avoid incoming fire. Turn around to face any opponents that appear from behind.
















Virtua Fighter 2 was the follow up of the first one (duh) but had alot smoother graphics, and was playable not only at the arcades, but on your Saturn. It did have a Mega Drive installment which is VERY crap.

He just won't stop being great will he? NO! As soon as everyone is settled down with the large variety of 3D games to offer, Suzuki is still slaving away for 5 years! What was he doing? Creating shenmue. an all new experience, and this time, it's not for the arcade.

Battle Royal
Beat the entire game, then save the "Clear Data" as instructed. This will unlock the 70 person battle royal. Pop in Disc 3 to access it.

Full pause screen:
Pause game play, then press Y + X.

Hidden artwork:
Place any of the three game discs in a PC compatible CD-ROM drive to find high resolution .BMP files in the "omake" directory.

Hidden audio:
Turn on the Dreamcast with no disc inside. When the system screen appears, go to the CD player. Insert any of the game discs. When the Shenmue disc loads, play the CD to hear the Shenmue voices tell you the dangers of putting a Dreamcast GD-ROM in a CD player. Each disc has a different voice. Disc one has Ryo talking, disc two has Fukusan, disc three has Chai, and the passport disc has Nozomi.

Real weather:
Successfully complete the game and save the Clear Data to unlock "Magic Weather" on the settings menu in the options screen. This option allows the weather in the game to match the actual weather on that date in 1986 and 1987 in Yokosuka.

Hint: Defeating Chai:
To get more energy while you are fighting Chai in the second battle, run away from him until he starts to follow you. Then. press Down + A to do a back kick to get easy hits on him. However, you have to keep fighting instead of running because Ryo will stop and Chai can get free hits on you.
At Bunkado Antiques, purchase the move "Crawl Cyclone". Before dueling with Chai in arcade battle, set the move to R. During the battle, do nothing but press R. Chai will not be able to hit you in this low attack -- it is also a medium powered move that strikes in all directions.

Hint: Arcade: Reverse control configuration in Space Harrier:
If you prefer reverse control configuration (down and up are switched), hold A, X, or Y. "Up input is down" should appear below the number of credits. Press Start to play the game with reverse control.

Hint: Casino: Better slot machine chances:
Go to the Lapis fortune teller and choose gamble for your fortune. She will give you a lucky number. Go to the Slot house and find the slot machine with your lucky number on it. You should win approximately 70% of the time.

Hint: Harbor: Easy money:
After getting your job, on the second day of work move all the boxes to Warehouse 3 as normal. When the shift ends, do not go to the back of Warehouse 17. Instead, play darts or practice your moves to waste time until Ryo says it is time to go home. When you wake up the next morning, you will have the same work day over again. If you made quota the previous day, you will get paid more money for the same job. This can be repeated yet again.
When trying to sneak past the guards in the Old Warehouse district to find Master Chen, intentionally get caught. The game will resume at the same location the following night, with your 500 yen allowance already added. Since this does add one more day to the game calendar, it cannot be done indefinitely, but is a quick way to rebuild your money total.
In the Japanese version of the game, take your 500 yen from the table and leave the house. Return to the house and enter your room. Leave your room and 500 more yen will be on the table.

Hint: Tomato Convenience Store: Better raffle chances:
Use the following trick to get a winning raffle at the Tomato Convenience Store about 80% of the time. Go to the Tomato Convenience Store in Dobuita. Buy a caramel, chocolate or potato chips to get the chance to choose a raffle ticket. To win most of the time, wait until you hear those swishing sounds five times, then press A at the end of the fifth swishing sound. Note: Do not wait until the "A" button appears on the screen before you start counting -- begin the count from the first time you hear the sound before the "A" button prompt appears.

Hint: Guaranteed pool shot: When you play pool in Disc 1, move three spots to the right.

Hint: Practicing moves:
Practicing moves can change many things about the move, such as growing stronger, getting wider ranges, having a quicker execution, and even changing how it looks. Most moves change at moderate level and grow stronger as you master them.

Hint: Rare Gacha Gacha item:
Go to the Harbor Tomato convenience store and go to the vehicles (machine #5). You can get a Dural Gold Hang No 6.

Hint: Winning Cans:
The following trick can be used to get a winning can, but only on the first day. Leave the Hazuki residence and buy a soda. Choose the third soda to the right. It is a winning can. Then,go left, then left, until you get all three cola cans. Then, go to the canned coffees. Choose the first one to the left, then the next. Then, choose the blue soda, then to the left, and so on until it is a plain can.

Glitch: Fly:
Go towards where your friend with the yellow jacket lives and go up the stairs. Wait in the middle of the flight of stairs until someone is coming down and someone is going up the stairs. You will become stuck. Keep moving around, and you should walk out on to the air. Note: This works best at night. You cannot use it to get to hidden areas and is difficult to do.

People complained about the short and predictablity of the last game's storyline, so Suzuki brings back the brilliance that is Shenmue to not only fulfill their wants, but to finish the saga...

Full pause screen:
Pause game play, then press Y + X.

Hidden artwork:

Hint: Free rent:
When staying at the "Come Over Guest House", the rent is $38 per night. To avoid paying, do not pay it in the morning then stay out until 11 o'clock.

Hint: Easy money:
Use the following trick on the first two discs for easy money. Go the worker's pier and move crates. When you shift is done, leave then go back in. You can do this three to four times in one day.
Go behind warehouse #8 on Fortunes' Pier (the one with the red doors). There is a set of Lucky Hit tables there. Choose the second table from the left. The board features a tiger with wings, and the bet is $20 to win $60. You should drop the marble fairly close to the left side of the table and win about 60% of the time. You can easily make $1,000 in a day.
Go to warehouse #8 after work. Win until you have $50, then go to warehouse #13 and win until you have $100 or more. Go to warehouse #10. When you are asked to place a bid, choose the one with 4 times (the bottom one), but do not press A yet. There is a turning triangle in the bottom right. Wait until it turns to a straight line, then press A. You will win most of the time. It is possible to win over $13,000 after one hour of playing.
