However, that's not the exciting part. According to one of the members on the development team, the main reason for the t-shirts is that a sequel to Space Channel 5 is more or less definite for later this year. Unfortunately though, the original has not been well received in Japan thus far, with average sales. This could affect the team's decision on whether or not they wish to produce a sequel.

The game will be hitting America and Europe later this year, but details on the Western conversions are thin on the ground. We've had some great fun with our import copy of Space Channel 5, so we certainly hope that Sega will go ahead with the planned stateside release.
