Line 6:
* [[Magnum Opus Dissonance]]: This was slated to be Yu Suzuki's—and in general SEGA-AM2's—best, but unfortunately, it ended up being an [[Acclaimed Flop]] at best. This seems to be changing with the ''Shenmue III'' Kickstarter though, which met its goal in ''less than half a day''.
* [[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.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: ''Shenmue III'' was originally slated to be released in late 2017, but was pushed back to late 2018. Suzuki claims the reason for the delay was because the modern development tools allowed the developers to do more than what they thought was possible, causing the project to grow bigger than originally intended.
* [[Vaporware]]: The [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] ''Shenmue Online'' that was hyped after the release of ''Shenmue II'', where players would be allowed to join three clans, led by Shenhua, Ren and Xiuying. The game suffered from [[Development Hell]] as it switched developers over the years, and was never released. Yu Suzuki attempted to relaunch the series years later with the social RPG ''Shenmue City'', announced in 2010 for cell phones and PCs, but only a cell phone version was released which was discontinued the following year.
