The first two Shenmue games have generated such a passionate following that any news about a prospective sequel is bound to capture the fans imagination - but while various rumours confirming the existence of Shenmue III have been sweeping the 'Net in recent weeks, Sega is still saying that nothing has been confirmed.

The latest story is that the game has been confirmed, and that while no platform has been decided upon, the game will come complete with Shenmue I and II. It's an unlikely sounding story; a new game bundled with a movie disc that tells the story of the previous episodes, as with the Xbox version of Shenmue II is more believable, but Sega Europe is claiming that the story arises from a misinterpreted fan letter on its Japanese site.

SoE's spokesman explained: "There was a bit of Japanese text on the AM2 site which is actually a letter from a fan, saying what they want to see in the game" - apparently this letter has been taken as official confirmation from AM2 itself in some quarters. Dashed hopes again then - hopefully we'll have some genuine Shenmue news for you one day...
