Getting The Bad Ending

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.

Infinite Days At Work

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.

Infinite Winning Cans

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.

The J-Pop Motorcycle Song

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.

Winning At The Slot Machines

The slot machines may offer top quality prizes for getting 777 but they are extremely hard to get. So, here's a tip to make you win more easily. Simply go to the Lapis Fortune Teller, and ask for her to tell you the "gamble". It will cost you 300 Yen, but it gives you the lucky slot machine number for that day. So, simply play on that machine to win easier on that day.
