From: Luke Shu-Hao Hu To: Subject: new release of Yamato video games Date: Wednesday, September 27, 2000 1:04 AM First, a new PlayStation game titled "Space Battleship Yamato: The Course of Heroes" is going to release in Japan tomorrow (9/28/2000). I believe this title is more like a Yamato reference CD than a game, similar to "Star Wars: Behind the Magic". "The Course of Heroes" contains at least the following: 1. Short games: there are at least three small games here. a. A story about a beautiful alien woman. From the look of her ears, it is easy to tell that she is not an Earthling. b. A game about starfighter battle. It features the starfighters used in Yamato story. c. A game about battleship battle, it focus on the main cannons battle. 2. "Quest for Iscander" video album: contains more than 100 min video from the "New Space Battleship Yamato", plus 3D models. 3. All the video clips from the previous two PS games. So you can enjoy all the cut-scenes without playing the games. 4. Behind the Scenes Secret: about the making of New Yamato. Second, the soundtrack CD for the "New Space Battleship Yamato" is going to release in Japan on 9/30/2000. Finally, a Yamato video game for the WanderSwanColor is going to release on Feb 2001. Its title is simply called "Space Battleship Yamato", and is about the Quest for Iscander storyline. It's featured 32Mb + 256k S-Ram. By the way, does anyone heard or played this WanderSwanColor Video Game System? I sure didn't. I got the above information from http://www.shonan.ne.jp/~kenji/yamato/index.html Because I am a Chinese, I can't read Japanese for the most part. So correct me if I am wrong about the above information.
