In 2018, Yu Suzuki Tweeted that there will be many more surprises for fans.

In 2016, a SEGA spokesman said they are currently investigating how to make it a reality, but the issue is primarily with the licensing in the original games.
It would also preserve the Shenmue series and make it more accessible. Yu Suzuki stated he strongly wanted the first two games to be remastered to let Shenmue newcomers play the original two games and be prepared for Shenmue III.
Since the re-release of Shenmue II was based on the Xbox version, changes made for that version are still present, including omissions of visual references to the Virgin Mary and the screen fading out to white instead of red when you die by failing the QTE with Yuan's chainsaw. Historically-accurate British flags in Hong Kong, still a British colony in the late 1980s, have been replaced with more generic flags. Ryo's notebook also does not use gender specific pronouns when referring to Yuan no matter which voice option is selected. It labels Yuan as "The executive of the Yellow Heads" instead of "She is the executive of the Yellow Heads" leaving Yuan's gender androgynous. When viewing the information of a snapshot taken of Yuan, the game no longer uses feminine pronouns in Yuan's profile. When viewing the "secret" section of the Snapshots menu in Shenmue II, all characters now have new and high quality thumbnails. This is due to these being actual real numbers in Japan, that many Japanese players called when the game was first released. All phone numbers have their last digit removed. Certain licensed names are now altered such as "Sumitomo Bank" being changed to "Yokosuka Bank" and the "Timex" brand items being changed to the "Sega" brand. Now, these are changed to toys of Sega consoles like "Dreamcast" and "Game Gear". In the Dreamcast version of Shenmue, capsule toys of Sega-console mascot characters such as "Dreamcasko" and "Gear-O" that originated from Japanese magazines were obtainable through the Excite Sega World machine. The "Super Ball" capsule toys are now renamed to just "Ball". This is due to the original pictures being stock photos that Sega no longer has the rights to. The majority of cassette tapes and posters around town in Shenmue that have someone's face on it are now altered to resemble NPC characters seen in Shenmue.
