The Japanese online shop Imagine Webshop is offering a large full-color fabric poster with a pre-order of the Regular or Limited edition of Shenmue I & II, as shown in the above image. It will be approximately A1 size (59cm wide by 84cm tall).

The prices listed on the site are the recommended retail prices (6,469 yen incl. tax for the Limited edition, and 4,309 yen incl. tax for the Regular edition) and domestic delivery is 580 yen.

The notes on the website about the poster are as follows:

  • Be aware there will be creases due to the poster being folded and delivered in a bag.
  • Depending on inventory, the poster pack may continue to be sold after the game's release.
