Last night, the announcement of Shenmue 3 coming to Kickstarter set the Internet ablaze. The project managed to hit its $2 million funding goal in well under a day, so there’s no question that it will be made. However, some people are wondering about potential platforms.

Might a Wii U version of Shenmue 3 be possible? At the moment, the possibility isn’t being ruled out.

Here’s an excerpt straight from the Kickstarter’s FAQ:

Will there be an Xbox/Wii U/Linux/Mac version for Shenmue 3?

Currently we are planning development only for PC (Windows) and PS4. Other platforms have not been decided yet.

You can find Shenmue 3 on Kickstarter here.

Update: Same price on Amazon (thanks Jake). Now the question is: did Amazon just price-match GameStop (which they’ve done with pre-orders), or will the final cost indeed be set at $50?

Yoshi’s Woolly World was presumed to be a full priced, $60 game. However, GameStop’s listing indicates that the game will cost a bit less than this. You can currently pre-order it for $50, which may end up being the final price.
