* [[Acclaimed Flop]]: Hugely popular and considered a masterpiece by several gaming outlets upon its release, but the sales were too weak to cover development costs (not ''entirely'' surprising as ''Shenmue'' was the most expensive game of all time at the time of its release, with a budget of ''$47 million'', equivalent to '''$67 million''' in 2015).
* [[Creator Killer]]: A mild example, as while he still worked for Sega, Yu Suzuki's career took a serious hit, and he was unable to make another game as good as ''[[Shenmue]]'', and it's heavily implied he was [[Kicked Upstairs]].
* [[Killer App]]: For the Dreamcast, tied with the first ''[[Soul Calibur]]''.
* [[No Export for You]]: The second one was never released on [[Dreamcast]] in North America. The Xbox release was a year later. Many die hard fans imported even though it was expensive and required a special disc that could cancel regional lockout. It was still cheaper than buying an Xbox which had just been released.
