Suzuki remained at Sega working on various projects which failed to see release, including Shenmue Online, a PC MMORPG announced in 2004. Despite attracting positive reviews and a cult following, neither game made a profit and Shenmue III entered a period of development hell lasting over a decade. Shenmue II was released for Dreamcast in 2001 in Japan and Europe only an Xbox port followed in 2002 in Japan, Europe and North America. Shenmue was released on Decemin Japan, Novemin North America, and Decemin Europe. Development also covered some of Shenmue II (2001), which was completed for a smaller figure, and possibly groundwork for future Shenmue games. It became the most expensive game ever developed at the time, reported to have cost US$70 million in 2011, Suzuki said the figure was closer to $47 million including marketing. Sega advertised Shenmue as belonging to a new genre it termed "full reactive eyes entertainment" or "FREE". By the time of the Dreamcast's release in Japan in November 1998, the game had been titled Shenmue. In 1997, development moved to Sega's upcoming console, the Dreamcast, and the Virtua Fighter connection was dropped. In 1996, he and Sega AM2 began developing a Saturn RPG based on the Virtua Fighter series. In comparison to arcade games, where the ideal experience was only a few minutes long, Suzuki wanted to make a longer experience. Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki joined Sega in 1983 and went on to create several successful arcade games, including Hang-On (1985), Out Run (1986) and Virtua Fighter (1993).

Shenmue I and II received mostly positive reviews critics praised its graphics, soundtrack, realism and ambition, but criticized their controls, slow pace and voice acting, and their realism and focus on mundane detail divided players.
