Space Channel 5

[rgraves]

Apologies is this has been posted already, but woo!

- Sega announced Space Channel 5.0 for Wii, a remake of the classic dancing game, the game will have licensed songs from Michael Jackson.

PLEASE be true

[SeanR]

that'll be FUCKING AMAZING

at last, I can copy Ulalas moves without embaressing myself...

Just remember to close the curtains this time Sean. That dress was really a bit short for you as well.

[Lorfarius]

I dont understand the excitement. They as good as killed off Nights with that crappy new version. It's Sega, all they do these days is churn out crap. This wont be any better.

[c-cat114]

Way to go Lorf. Some of us want to live the dream under the blue, blue skies of old school Sega.

But yeah, it probably won't me any good will it. Sniff.

And while we're at it of past glories waiting to be hurt and rereleased with no understanding of the things that made them work well, and, at the risk of derailing the thread: WHERE THE HELL IS CHU CHU DS WHILE WE"RE AT IT SEGA?

But yeah Woo! Space Channel Wii! I'm loving it right up to the first review crushes my heart once again.

If this is true, I will finally gave and get a Wii.

[Jolly]

I've been asking for this since the Wii first landed. Only a totally knackering Wii Ouendan to go and I'll be in the happiest chappy in the whole of the kingdom.

I'm not sure "licensed Michael Jackson songs" is a very promising sign. The original soundtrack (especially for part 2) was pretty much perfect. I don't want any part of that replaced with licensed tat from washed-up pop stars.

Still, cautiously optimistic about this, if only because I love the originals so much.

[toythatkills]

Licensed Michael Jackson songs makes it sound a bit bollocks. It's 2008, right?

I can't work out what the-magicboxs source seems to have been either

Agree completely, apart from the "cautiously optimistic" bit. I can't be cautious about this sort of thing. I'm all

Anyway, I really hope this is a compilation of the original two games (a bit like Lego Star Wars) but with Part 2's enhancements also applied to Part 1 (also a bit like Lego Star Wars).

[Fletch]

Kind of on topic, I was under the impression that Space Channel 5 would be coming to Xbox live arcade, well I say under the impression more like wishing.

[Raff]

I've never liked any copy-the-buttons games. Whoever won Stilly's big give-away has my copy.

[mechamonkey]

Dont enhance, dont change them at all just let us play part 2 in pal land you cunts.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

There was a PAL version of the second game, it just required a tiny bit more effort to get hold of than popping down to the likes of GAME or somewhere.

If this is true, I will finally cave and get a Wii.

Ditto.

IIRC you could get it for about £25 from that Aussie DVD retailer, and I decided to wait until it came down further in price. It now goes for a small fortune on ebay.

you can find the pal ps2 version on internet quite easy. my neglected copy only set me back twenty quid.

[Garwoofoo]

It's worth getting the Japanese version of Part 2 if you've got a Dreamcast in working order. It's even more bonkers if you can't understand what on earth's going on. Truly one of the most entertaining game experiences ever.

JAGUAR!!!

A quick note to those who think Sega has been churning out crap lately - I guess you haven't played Virtua Fighter 5, Sega Rally and Phantasy Star Universe.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Please

[CurryKitten]

I love the SC5 games, and I still play through both of them regularly on the DC. I'm happy about a new game, but I don't know about replacing button presses with waving the remote about, I just worry about how they'll carry off that control scheme well.

What Sega need to do is bring Samba De Amiga Wii, I always used to have problems with how high the controller though the maraccas were - that's easily fixable via the Wii remote isn't it. They can even use the remote speaker to make a maracca noise when you shake it.

[moosegrinder]

One of the worst games I've ever played.

Aquired taste. Corleth just has a thing for fitting his characters out in cowboy chaps.

[CurryKitten]

In development isn't it?

If so, then happy get +10, I'm going to celebrate with vending machine hula hoops amd mars bar

[mechamonkey]

I cant find it for anything reasonable. Give me yours if you arent using it pls

[Jolly]

Rather OT, but I've managed to persuade the missus that our next cat should be called Ulala.

(Our existing cat is called Cosmos, or to give her her full title, The Cat of All.)

Excellent.

That made me smile.

Right, this thread has reignited the love. I'm off to play Part 2.

[Ketchup]

Lets hope they fix the timining issue. It killed the last section of the game with robot ulala where it was more luck than skill.

NO!

FUCK this shit. I hope Sega go fucking bankrupt, and their decaying spirit farmed out to someone who gives a shit anymore. Seriously, when they were inventing and creating these one-off IPs several years ago, people weren't waiting for them to re-release fucking Afterburner 1 or Space fucking Harrier, they were playing and enjoying the new quality titles they were releasing. Nights wasn't originally a sequel. Burning Rangers wasn't a fucking sequel. Space Fucking Channel Fucking 5 only had the gaul not to be a fucking sequel initially.

Now all we get is fucking re-release this and re-imagining that. Once upon a time it used to be creating the new IPs, now it's trading in on past glories. If it weren't for Sega Europe, I'd be wishing for much worse.

Edited for you. Call yourself a SEGA fanboy, fail.

I guess as long as they don't have motion controls it'll be all right.

And Space Channel 5 is nothing more than simon-says with a girl in a short skirt!
