@Murder0usInt There is "Battle System Expanded" Stretch Goal. It will enhance the battles, better than Shenmue 2 #SaveShenmue #YouaskYu

@Murder0usInt I have not decided it yet. #SaveShenmue #Shenmue3 #YouaskYu

The much awaited PS4 Physical copy was released as a reward today for $60 perhaps helping to boost the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter to generate over $330,000 today with two hours remaining Eastern. Awesome Japan also apologized for the Twitch stream last week and promised to work harder on the campaign which was a welcome apology.
A number of other rewards were also added today including Lucky Hit boards and NPC inclusion.
Shenmue Dojo is streaming live on Twitch in honor of the event.
There have also been several interview video updates on the Kickstarter with the developers of the upcoming game.
SEGA Nerds is hosting an interview with Shenmue voice actors.
The days are winding down…make sure you back Shenmue 3 on Kickstarter!
