XBox 360 Backwards Compatibility Updated – Shenmue II Supported

 Classic-gaming XBox 360 owners can now do another little happy dance in celebration of more titles becoming playable on their polygon-pumping XBox 360s.

Fans of the Dreamcast series, Shenmue will enjoy the fact that the XBox version of Shenmue II is now compatible with the 360. Now they just need to port the original Shenmue in compilation with Shenmue III (I can dream, can’t I?)

I was so happy that Microsoft decided to make Shenmue 2 BC. I think the reason why Microsoft decided to pick that game because of the now infamous Shenmue 3 debate in England. To me that gave good publicity for the series. Now we have to wait for Shenmue 3.
