: ININ Games, now holding Shenmue III's publishing rights, conducted a survey asking fans about interest in a Switch port of the game. Currently available on PS4 and Windows, the survey includes platform choices like Switch, Xbox Series, PS5, and Mac. While mixed reviews marked its release, Shenmue III continues Ryo Hazuki's story from the second installment. Many fans express a desire for the entire trilogy on the Switch.

ININ Games, having acquired the publishing rights for Shenmue III, is exploring potential platforms for the game, including the Nintendo Switch. Through a survey shared on social media, they sought feedback from fans about improvements and platform preferences, listing options such as Switch, Xbox Series, PS5, and Mac.

Released only on PS4 and Windows so far, Shenmue III received mixed reviews but remains true to its predecessors in storytelling. It follows protagonist Ryo Hazuki's quest for vengeance beginning directly after Shenmue II, despite a release gap of nearly 20 years, keeping the iconic storyline alive.

Fans expressed a strong interest in seeing the entire trilogy on the Switch, although ININ Games only holds rights to the third game. Echoing sentiments emphasize the desire for original titles, as many believe the trilogy should be complete on Switch or its successor, to ensure players understand the full narrative context.
