Social media has been abuzz all weekend with the latest screenshots and videos to emerge of Shenmue III, courtesy of Yu Suzuki at the MAGIC Monaco convention. A search of the hashtag ‪#‎Shenmue3‬ on Twitter will provide a taste of the excitement pouring onto the Internet from fans and websites alike, including a promotional tweet from the official PlayStation account, and the game became the number one trend on Facebook. A pictorial Kickstarter update accompanied proceedings, although arguably the highlight of the day's new content is a video depicting the gloriously faithful recreation of Shenhua's house, accurate to the last kitchen utensil, with the Shenmue tree itself waving its branches and dropping its petals in the outside wind in luscious high definition. So far only "fan cam" footage of this teaser exists online but we would expect the full quality original to be made available soon. Before signing autographs Suzuki was interviewed on stage by Winning Can Raffle prize donor David De ville, and also took questions from the audience. A translated recap can be found here. We can also look forward to French fan site Shenmue Master publishing their interview with Suzuki that was filmed in the afternoon. What further details has the Shenmue III designer divulged to these dedicated followers of the game's tumultuous journey from over a decade in limbo to its current state of active development? We'll be sure to share their video here when it's ready!

MAGIC Monaco, the annual convention promoted by Shibuya Productions for fans of anime, video games and manga, takes place next Saturday and the event's schedule has just been published.

Yu Suzuki will be the first to take the stage after the opening ceremony, with his long anticipated Shenmue III conference at 9:25 AM local time. Exclusive teaser content showing off the progress of the game's development is expected, before Suzuki returns in the afternoon to meet fans in attendance for two autograph sessions (3:00 to 3:45 and 6:45 to 7:45).

Amongst the other guests lined up for the event are French house musician Kavinsky, whose album Out Run was named after Suzuki's famous arcade driving game, and Raoul Barbet, director of Dontnod Entertainment's latest title with more than a passing resemblance to Shenmue's core gameplay, Life is Strange.

MAGIC Monaco is free to attend, but places are limited and so must be registered in advance at magic-ip.com.
