Shenmue II (シェンムー II, Shenmū Tsū) is an Adventure game for the Dreamcast and Xbox game consoles. It is the sequel to Shenmue, and was produced and directed by Yu Suzuki of Sega-AM2. Due to exclusivity rights obtained by Microsoft, the North American Dreamcast version was cancelled. Unlike the first game of the series, no English dub was recorded for the Dreamcast version of Shenmue II, and the European release included subtitles. The later Xbox version included an English dub, and was not released in Japan. Shenmue II incorporates four chapters of the Shenmue saga.
