Recent death of MJ reminded me about this game series. He isn’t dead… he just evolved into Space Michael, and is saving the universe with Dance Energy.
Rumors of the original with it’s expansion getting a Wii port, originate from a faked article off 2chan. SEGA has Ulala make a lot of cameo appearances in various games, so the company still remembers her. I think the real reason no Space Channel Part 3 has popped up, is because Tetsuya Mizuguchi (original creator) no longer works for SEGA. In fact, I don’t think he makes video games anymore… I read somewhere he went into the music video industry after 2007.
Ah, yes! Space Channel 5. How well I remember. That used to be my favorite game for awhile, even tho I have absolutely no sense of rhythm. I still have my Ulala action figure, too. Several years ago, I met a girl at a comiccon in Novi, Mich. who called herself Apollo Smile and claimed to be the English seiyu for Ulala. Is that true? Anyone know?
Yup. It’s true. She’s voice acted Ulala in EVERY appearance she’s ever made, including small cameo roles in other SEGA games. Seems that people don’t like her due to the whole Live Action Anime Girl thing she did. Nonetheless she does a good Ulala.
I always thought the English version of SC5, was better than the Japanese original.
