These new releases of Shenmue I and II aren’t basic backwards compatibly titles. Both video games feature reworked UI, new control options, scalable resolutions, and Japanese language options. Shenmue I and Shenmue II also support Xbox Live cloud saves and each comes with a good number of Xbox Achievements to unlock.
Here’s the official game description and trailer:
A tale of revenge. In 1986, teenage jujitsu artist Ryo Hazuki returns to the dojo of his father, Iwao Hazuki, only to witness his murder by a Chinese man, Lan Di.
