PC only so far, and only in Japan. It actually looks far better graphically
than Shenmue I/II, IMHO.
This game makes no sense, though; how can there even be a Shenmue MMORPG?
Are several thousand people out to get Lan Di now? Or will the players just
gain experience managing Lucky Hit stands?

Given that the game world is an excuse to bring online gamers together
with a fighting engine, I imagine it might have been more appropriate to
call this 'Virtua Fighter Online' instead. That would make more sense,
even if the MMOR part of the game has you learning new moves by fulfilling
NPC requests, just like in Shenmue. They could also be going the Phantasy
Star Online route, that gives you the chance to interact with other people
online but constructs the plot to make you seem like the center of
attention. That's just speculation, not based on anything concrete.
Now if only that Xenon/Radeon/Whatever guy would post more than the words
'I Want' and a laundry list of URL links, this thread would also make some
more sense. 
-KKC, hungering for the days of learned correspondence.
