Confirming some rumor that lingered for some time, SEGA revealed today that by the end of the year will arrive on Xbox One Shenmue I & II , remastered Edition (both physical and digital) of the first two episodes of the cult of Yu Suzuki .

Players can then relive it again-but for many it will be the first time-the adventures of Ryo Hazuki from when they arrived on the Dreamcast and the first Xbox. From the trailer and images that accompany the announcement it seems that, apart from an increase in resolution, have not been substantial changes in the title: the textures are those originals, as well as the aspect ratio seems fixed to 4:3 during cut-scenes. Developers explain, however, that, in addition to the original control system, you can select an alternative created specifically for this Edition, updated control standards of today.

If you were also wondering if this new edition will include the Italian localization, subtitling at least, seems sadly that it is not covered and the title will be playable entirely in English.

You can find more details on this issue, together with the announce trailer and a set of screenshots.
