There is an alternate ending to Shenmue, commonly called the "bad ending". To get it, simply last through to 15th April 1987. A simple way to get it by yourself is on the sneaking into the Old Warehouse District part on disc 2. When you try and sneak in, there is a one button QTE where you have to catch a flashlight. Simply fail this QTE and a day progresses, so simply put the controller down, stroll away, and by the time you have come back to the Dreamcast, it should have progressed a fair few days. It will ask you to save before you see the bad ending. |
You can get infinite days at work if you want. This is useful to build up money, however the maximum wage you get for delivering a crate only goes up to 600 Yen. What you do is simply miss an important event that occurs after work. For example, simply do not show up in front of the Harbour Lounge when you have to go there to get a cut scene with Shozo Mizuki, or do not show up at the central pier when Gui Zhang is meant to meet you there to teach you a move. |
To get infinite winning cans, simply collect some in the game, then save your game in the bedroom. Then save a resume file. You can then load the resume file on your passport disc and use the winning cans to get "Shenmue Characters". Then load your game again, and save a new resume file. Repeat the trick. |
On the passport disc, go to the Dreamcast's main menu and enter the "Music" icon, track 5 is a proper CD audio track of the J-Pop song "Wish..." played during the Nozomi motorcycle scene at the end of the game. You can listed to it on your normal CD player, although, heed the warning that track 2 gives, the game tracks can damage your speakers. |
