One detail leads us to believe that the remade version is going to include some new content: the article mentions that Sega has licensed Michael Jackson's music for the new game. While Space Michael appeared in both Space Channel 5 games, his music did not. Could Space Michael have a more prominent role in the new game? ... Is that a good idea?
Troublingly, unless he was being cryptic, recent comments from Space Channel 5 creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi make it sound like he isn't involved with any Space Channel 5 projects. We hope Sega does the smart thing and hires the currently independent producer to oversee this new game. If it exists.

My wife and I still like SC5 but TM and the rest of the Q team would probably better serve the gaming public if they continued to work on new games.
I would like to see them make some new console games. The portables are really good but my favorite of his is rez.
Yea, I uesd to be a dreamcast fanboy.

Why do they have to pack Ulala (hot) with 'Space Michael' (underage alien-toucher)? Sorry, I just can't buy anything with a character called 'Space Michael'.

Technically it will be a remake of the PS2 game which was a remake of the Dreamcast game

I believe Michael Jackson did have a song in Space Channel 5 Part 2. Sorta near the end there was a song or two with his high-pitched yelping.

I didn't really get the original SC5, i definitely didn't like it (hides from flames). I'd rather a new Jet Set Radio pls Sega.

Playing Space Channel 5 by acting out the moves and firing at the screen is exactly the way it works in Heaven, here's hoping that's implemented for this Wii game that's maybe not even being made. (Also, traditional controls, just in case it turns out that playing it with motion controls is terrible.)
