Astroboy vom Sonic Team

Sega Goes Astro
Yuji Naka to work on exclusive PS2 Astro Boy title.

January 26, 2004 - Sega of America today announced that well-respected game designer Yuji Naka (Sonic the Hedgehog, Nights, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg) is embarking on Astro Boy, a new game franchise exclusive to the PS2.

Based on the current cartoon featured on Japanese TV and created by original artist Osamu Tezuka, Astro Boy the classic 1980s manga franchise is well-loved in Japan, though relatively less known in the US. But Sega is banking on the game's generaly universal appeal and Naka's talent for platform action games to bring Astro Boy to life.

The single-player game created specifically for the PS2 is a third-person perspective action title enabling players to take on the role and powers of Astro Boy, replete with his gun-like hand. In development with Naka and the Sonic Team, Astro Boy is due to ship to North America in summer 2004 (it will ship first in Japan). Sega is also in development with a Game Boy Advance version, co-created by Treasure.

We'll have more on Astro Boy in the near future.

das wäre doch was. Naka als alter PS2 Hasser soll da mal schön die Finger weg lassen...
