'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (スペースチャンネル5) is a video game for the [[Sega Dreamcast]] released in Japan on 16 December 1999, North America on 6 June 2000 and in Europe on 8 October 2000. It was the first game to be developed by the newly opened [[United Game Artists]] studio within Sega, spearheadded by [[Tetsuya Mizuguchi]], although the UGA name had not yet been adopted by the original Japanese release.
  
−
''Space Channel'' is the first game to feature [[Ulala]], a character whom would go on to cameo in several other Sega titles. It also features a cameo by [[Michael Jackson]], whom is known as ''Space Michael'' in this game. The game is similar to ''PaRappa the Rapper'' and earlier memorization games like ''Simon'' where the computer shows a sequence of moves—dance steps in this case—and the player must copy them successfully to advance.
+
The game stars Space Channel 5 reporter Ulala, tasked with upping the ratings of the channel, and stopping the "evil" Morolians, who are forcing the galaxy to dance.
  
−
This game, along with ''[[Space Channel 5: Part 2]]'', were released in North America for the [[Playstation 2]] on November 18, 2003 as part of a package containing both games called ''Space Channel 5: Special Edition''.
+
==Gameplay==
 +
''Space Channel 5'' is a rhythm game built similarly in nature to electronic memorisation games such ''Simon'', and video games such as ''PaRappa the Rapper''. Throughout the game the computer shows a sequence of moves—dance steps in this case—and the player must copy them successfully to advance. Repeated failure will force the show to be cancelled, effectively triggering a game over.
  
−
==Commands and gameplay==
+
''Space Channel 5'' utilises six different commands - {{up}} "Up", {{down}} "Down", {{left}} "Left", {{right}} "Right", {{A}} "Shoot" and {{B}} "Shoot". The {{up}} button corresponds to the aliens raising both paws or Ulala raising both hands. Pressing {{down}} causes Ulala to lower only her right hand as her left hand contains a microphone. When either the {{left}} or {{right}} button are pressed she moves her hand in that direction. The Morolians will mimic Ulala's moves so pressing the directional pad will affect them also.

−
The {{A}} button is used for shooting at the Morolians or simply to perform another dance move. The {{B}} button is used for rescuing hostages (In report 2, however, in the first phase of the boss, the {{B}} button is not used for shooting directly at the hostages). There also appears to be mispronunciation of "shoot" when the player presses either the {{A}} or {{B}} button. In the manual, it says "shoot", but the Morolians say words that are quite similar to "kiss", "chin". Ulala, Pudding, Jaguar and Evila say "chu', while Fuse says "shoot" or "chu".

In between these scenes, Ulala appears to be taunting the opponent (if the player gets all the moves correct) or have messed up the dance (if the player gets incorrect moves or misses a move). Ulala is given a certain number of hearts in case she misses a move or get an incorrect move. Performing a incorrect move will cause her to lose a heart. If she loses every one of her hearts she will then hunch over and become upset, with Fuse shouting at her.

''Space Channel 5'' was followed by a direct sequel, ''[[Space Channel 5: Part 2]]'', and then ported to the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2002. In the US, the PlayStation 2 port was bundled with ''Part 2'' in ''[[Space Channel 5: Special Edition]]'', published by [[Agetec]].

However, apart from a [[Game Boy Advance]] adaption, ''[[Space Channel 5: Ulala's Cosmic Attack]]'', released in 2003, the game has yet to be re-released for newer systems. ''Part 2'' was released as part of ''[[Dreamcast Collection]]'' in 2011 (before separate releases on [[Xbox Live Arcade]], [[PlayStation Network]] and [[Steam]]), but the original game has not received the same treatment, presumably due to its heavy reliance on pre-rendered video. Ulala has cameoed in a number of Sega games, however, and is playable in the likes of ''[[Sega Superstar Tennis]]'' and ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]''.

Sega teamed up with CG company Super Mega in the hopes of pitching a ''Space Channel 5'' television show to the US channel, MTV{{magref|odmus|5|15}}. Starring a computer-generated Ulala as a presenter, the show was meant to begin airing in January 2001, though it is not known of the deal ultimately went through.

    Space Channel 5 (スペースチャンネル5) is a video game for the Sega Dreamcast released in Japan on 16 December 1999, North America on 6 June 2000 and in Europe on 8 October 2000. It was the first game to be developed by the newly opened United Game Artists studio within Sega, spearheadded by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, although the UGA name had not yet been adopted by the original Japanese release.

    The game stars Space Channel 5 reporter Ulala, tasked with upping the ratings of the channel, and stopping the "evil" Morolians, who are forcing the galaxy to dance.

    Gameplay

    Space Channel 5 is a rhythm game built similarly in nature to electronic memorisation games such Simon, and video games such as PaRappa the Rapper. Throughout the game the computer shows a sequence of moves—dance steps in this case—and the player must copy them successfully to advance. Repeated failure will force the show to be cancelled, effectively triggering a game over.

    Space Channel 5 utilises six different commands - Up "Up", Down "Down", Left "Left", Right "Right", A "Shoot" and B "Shoot". The Up button corresponds to the aliens raising both paws or Ulala raising both hands. Pressing Down causes Ulala to lower only her right hand as her left hand contains a microphone. When either the Left or Right button are pressed she moves her hand in that direction. The Morolians will mimic Ulala's moves so pressing the directional pad will affect them also.

    The A "shoot" button is used for shooting at the Morolians or simply to perform another dance move. The B "shoot" button is usually used for rescuing hostages. There also appears to be mispronunciation of "shoot" when the player presses either the A or B button. In the manual, it says "shoot", but the Morolians say words that are quite similar to "kiss", "chin". Ulala, Pudding, Jaguar and Evila say "chu", while Fuse says "shoot" or "chu".

    In between these scenes, Ulala appears to be taunting the opponent (if the player gets all the moves correct) or have messed up the dance (if the player gets incorrect moves or misses a move). Ulala is given a certain number of hearts in case she misses a move or get an incorrect move. Performing a incorrect move will cause her to lose a heart. If she loses every one of her hearts she will then hunch over and become upset, with Fuse shouting at her.

    History

    Morolians interrupt Shoichiro Irimajiri's speech in Shibuya as part of a November 1999 marketing stunt.

    Prerelease

    To promote the game, Sega put on a display outside the Q-Front tower in Shibuya, demonstrating the game in action on three large screens. Sega executives had their photos taken alongside Tetsuya Mizuguchi and a human representation of Ulala[20].

    Ulala also made an appearance at the MTV Music Video Awards on September 7 to hand out the Best Dance Video award[21].

    Development

    Legacy

    Space Channel 5 was followed by a direct sequel, Space Channel 5: Part 2, and then ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2002. In the US, the PlayStation 2 port was bundled with Part 2 in Space Channel 5: Special Edition, published by Agetec.

    However, apart from a Game Boy Advance adaption, Space Channel 5: Ulala's Cosmic Attack, released in 2003, the game has yet to be re-released for newer systems. Part 2 was released as part of Dreamcast Collection in 2011 (before separate releases on Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Steam), but the original game has not received the same treatment, presumably due to its heavy reliance on pre-rendered video. Ulala has cameoed in a number of Sega games, however, and is playable in the likes of Sega Superstar Tennis and Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.

    Sega teamed up with CG company Super Mega in the hopes of pitching a Space Channel 5 television show to the US channel, MTV[22]. Starring a computer-generated Ulala as a presenter, the show was meant to begin airing in January 2001, though it is not known of the deal ultimately went through.
