Is Shenmue HD Coming Soon ?

According to SEGA Nerds (via TSSZ) SEGA Europe registered the domain for "Shenmuehd.com" in September 2016. Much more than likely mean an HD remaster of Shenmue is on the horizon. SEGABits as also discovered that SEGA Europe registered 2 other Shenmue-related domain names in September of last year, those being "ShenmueRemastered.com" and "Shemnuegame.com." TSSZ notes that the domain for "Shenmuegame.com," was already taken by someone back in 2015. With Shenmue III currently in development PS4 and PC this seems more then likely to happen. Sega could use this as a way to reintroduce the series to a new audience and give old fans something to enjoy while they wait. Thoughts ?
