We’ve been hearing rumors every so often that Space Channel 5 would see a revival. Why not? Every other big franchise established on SEGA platforms seems to be making a comeback on Nintendo’s waggle console. Why not bring Space Channel 5 back? Because Mizuguchi doesn’t want to.
I don’t feel like there’s a really special reason to remake Space Channel 5 now. It’s not like Rez. Rez is an experience game – the physical experience is very important, the visuals, the sounds and the vibration. I wanted to prove that if you had much more resolution, including the vibration, that it could be much more fun. Space Channel 5 is essentially a rhythm timing game. It’s funny, like a comical TV show. I don’t feel the need for much more resolution in that! That’s the major difference.
Tetsuya Mizuguchi does mention, however, that most of his upcoming projects are music-related, and that his teams are looking into various platforms. You can bet the Wii and DS are being considered.
