The more we see of this game the more we get excited. After all, Sega are the masters when it comes to exhilarating arcade racing games, and with the talented chaps at Sumo Digital at the helm, we reckon this could be a title to keep a beady eye on this year.

Well Sega - in savvy mode - has revealed a brand new character who will be joining Sonic, Tails, Alex Kidd, Amigo and cohorts on the starting grid, and it’s none other than Ryo from Shenmue! Want to see? Here’s an awesome video courtesy of NowGamer to whet your appetites; Said awesome video courtesy of NowGamer  

This will of course raise the hopes of millions of Shenmue fans out there who are desperate, nay willing, Sega and Yu Suzuki to finally wrap up their epic arcade-RPG.

While this is certainly great news, we hope Sega doesn’t decide to make this an official chapter in the Shenmue saga – like a dream sequence in which Ryo gets to race Sega heroes from past, present and future (remember the game’s set in the Eighties). Similarly, lets hope Sega doesn’t try to shoehorn the remaining chapters into Ryo’s ending to the game. Like he wins the race, wakes up, his adventure was all just a bad dream, and so off he trots to light fireworks with his dad. Instead, let us put our collective minds together and will this to be a warning shot from Sega that Shenmue 3 could finally be heading to our lives, sooner than never.
