Ys Net made the call after an intense reaction from other backers.

The very frontpage links to ask you to preorder/back the game.

The developers also shared some new screenshots, albeit using placeholder graphics.

Ys Net isn't compromising this long awaited sequel by following modern trends.

While this announcement comes in the shadow of another Mighty No 9 delay, that should not necessarily discourage you from participating.

In no time, Shenmue 3 will face the dilemma of many a high profile crowdfunded game.

Yu Suzuki mentioned that he wanted to add a certain gameplay feature, but he could only do it when the campaign reaches $5 million.

This seems like something that the community is totally behind.

All you have to do is ask. A lot.

If other platforms will be added as rewards, Ys Net will announce it on the updates page.

CEO of Shibuya Productions, co-producer of Shenmue 3, confirms that Sony won't be getting any money from the Kickstarter.

Yu Suzuki has made it clear Sony's involvement on the game is limited, by his own volition.

If you missed out on the Original, here’s your chance to get a Yu Suzuki approved replica of it!

Sony's involvement remains nebulous, but this perhaps explains why Xbox One and Wii U ports are still not out of the question.

'We're going to be partners on it the whole way,' Sony says.

More stretch goals still to be unlocked, however.

As of this writing, the game is already close to hitting a quarter of its $ 2 million goal.
