Almost two decades on, fans have unearthed a secret move in the original Shenmue
It's been nearly 20 years, but it seems the original Shenmue still has a little left to offer. Fans have dug deep into the code to successfully unearth a secret move that was recently hinted at by one of the original developers.
The move - known as 'Shin Shōryūken', and a clear reference to one of Street Fighter's signature moves - was part of the original game but removed at the 11th hour at director Yu Suzuki's request. Maybe he was fearful of intervention from Capcom's lawyers?
It's been re-enabled, however, by an enterprising fan (as picked up by Shenmue Dojo). The dragon punch - look, let's just call it what it is - can't be activated in normal play, and in this instance has been unlocked in one of the cutscenes in the harbor, being utilised against greasy rocker Goro.
