Shenume II - DC

[Charlie Footstool]

Been playing this on and off since its launch on the DC back whenever. Stuck it on this morning having not played it for months. I loved the first one, and the second seems to be unfolding nicely.

I'm in Kowloon (start of disc 3) looking for the three people, I have a photo of each of them. I've tracked one guy to some fighting venue, but it costs $1000 to get in. Now I remember why when I played Shenmue, and now Shenmue II it takes me ages to finish them...

The gambling/money aquisition part of these games drives me to intense boredom. Why must getting money take so long and be so reliant on luck?? Its insane. The rest of the game is fantastic, only to be peppered with coma inducing 'lucky hit' gambling - which is rock hard; invariably i stick $400 into on of these boards and get nothing back. rubbish.

Anyway, the reason for the post is this: How can I make money quickly and easily in the Kowloon district in Shenmue II so that I may get on and enjoy the rest of the game.

I thank you.

Find a double or nothing gambling booth.

Save your game.

Bet as much as you can.

Save if you win, reset the game if you don't.

1000s of $ in minutes...

Heh, I wonder if anyone collected cash legitimately in the game... no one I know did!

I did.

In the first part of the game (disc 1 & 2) I found a Lucky Hit stall that I was really good at near to the hotel where you say. I made much dollars on it so was sligtly at a loss when I left for disc 3 and the game was gone

You could also just keep fighting the guy with the patch. You get him up to 50yen a match and then keep beating him. It's fun fighting, plus you get some much needed practice in for the three fights coming up.

I also earned my money without cheating.

Charlie, you found the wrong guy first. I won't spoil where the fighters are located but the first one you should fight only costs $500. You basicly can't loose that money because if you loose the fight it just lets you retry again and again. Winning doubles your money so you would then have $1000, which would get you into the second fight and so on...

The game only asks you to save up $500 twice, which I don't think is that boring. They didn't want you to go through the whole game without touching the job systems or street fights

The big money is in Big or Small. Good luck
