Video Gaming News - September 2003
San Francisco, CA (September 23, 2003) - SEGA of America, Inc. today
announced the release of Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, a new platform game
exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube.
From Sega:
Developed by the creator of SEGA's world-famous Sonic The Hedgehog
series, "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg" challenges players to solve puzzles,
complete missions and defeat powerful bosses throughout massive, fantastical
environments with the help of magical eggs.
The first all-new platform character from Yuji Naka and Sonicteam since
the SEGA Saturn era, "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg" is the story of a
young boy on a mission to save the world from the clutches of the evil Crow King
who threatens to rule with an everlasting night. Gamers must learn to harness
the powers of a legendary rooster suit and control magical eggs to restore light
to the land.
"Yuji Naka and Sonicteam has once again created a groundbreaking gaming
experience filled with colorful worlds and one-of-a-kind characters," said
Shinobu Toyoda, Executive Vice President, SEGA of America, Inc. "Billy Hatcher's
offbeat and engaging gameplay offers something for gamers of all ages this fall
and into the holiday season."
A vibrant, new spin on the traditional platformer, "Billy Hatcher and the
Giant Egg" challenges gamers to solve puzzles, fight enemies, and ultimately
hatch magical creatures that enhance their abilities. Players will find the fast
action and unique elements that they expect from Sonicteam titles as they
explore themed, mystical environments on their quest to save the kingdom of
Morningland. The adventure also includes hidden characters, and a four-player
split-screen feature with cooperative and competitive gameplay modes.
