Help Ulala Dance her way to freedom




New Space Channel 5 Details

It's like Austin Powers on the DC. Check out our direct-feed movie, new images, and Ulala details.

September 20, 1999


Sega used the Tokyo Game Show to premiere Tetsuya Mizuguchi's latest brainchild, Space Channel 5. The basis for the Sega Rally creator's new game? Why, none other than interstellar space dancing. As you may have read in Colin's initial TGS impressions of the game, you play the role of Ulala, a space reporter who's investing a sudden alien invasion. When you arrive on the scene, you're accosted by a bunch of aliens, and must dance your way to freedom.


It's wacky, but it's also refreshing and unique - the kind of title that the Dreamcast and arcade need. Starring in this game is, as mentioned, the space reporter Ulala. This spandex clad babe was born on May 30th of the year 2477 (AD), and her sign is Space Gemini (hmm . . . I'm a Gemini, so I suppose in the future, I'd be a space Gemini as well!). She works at Space Channel 5 (hence the title), and originates from Earth. Other extraneous bits of information include her B blood type, her Space Pink hair, and her e-mail address: ualala@spacechannel5.com (I've already e-mailed her, and hope to receive a response shortly).


Be sure and read Colin's impressions from the show floor, which feature more details on the gameplay and the unique graphics system (the mix of MPEG footage and realtime footage is bound to please the tech-heads out there). We've also grabbed some irresistable game footage directly from the Sega TGS promotional video; this baby had our editors dancing through the office earlier today - it should force the same reaction upon you. It's clear that Tetsuya Mizuguchi is a big time fan of the shaggerific shag-fest of a movie, Austin Powers.
