Get Ryo's Shenmue Jacket by Pledging $3,000 to Shenmue 3

Among the initial backer rewards for Shenmue III's Kickstarter was Ryo's original jacket, which was worn at a press event 14 years ago. It's a one-of-a-kind item, and you had to be the first backer willing to put up $10,000 to get it. That's now gone, but if you have $3,000 and are okay with not having the original, you, too, can dress up like Ryo Hazuki.

Ys Net has introduced a new reward tier for the game's Kickstarter. For a $3,000 pledge, you can get a replica of Ryo's jacket, as well as previous reward tiers. Lest you look down on it for being a replica, Ys Net says it's "not just any replica of Ryo's trademark leather jacket. This is a Yu Suzuki-approved replica of Ryo's trademark leather jacket. Yeah, you want it."

The jacket, like other physical rewards for the Kickstarter, is being created by Fangamer.

Since launching on Monday night, the Shenmue III Kickstarter has already raised more than $3.25 million. That far exceeds the crowdfunding campaign's goal of $2 million (which was met in less than 12 hours), and with almost a full month still to go, it's likely to go even higher.
