In the latest of a string of Shenmue I & II promotional videos, SEGA’s roped in Ryo Hazuki’s voice actor Corey Marshall to offer some insight on the story. Yu Suzuki’s innovative adventure game is perhaps so beloved because it was one of the first games to really emphasise story-telling and cinematics – something that’s become much more common in recent years.

The video’s designed more for newcomers than veterans of the franchise, but it’s really exciting to hear Marshall’s voice again – even if his performance in the games hasn’t exactly aged well.
