SEGA of America today announced Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, a
new platform game exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. Billy
Hatcher and the Giant Egg is currently in development under the
direction of SEGA's renowned Yuji Naka, the creator of the Sonic The
Hedgehog series. The first all-new platform game and character from
Yuji Naka and Sonic Team since the SEGA Saturn era, Billy Hatcher
and the Giant Egg is the story of a young boy who must save a once
magical kingdom from the clutches an evil King who threatens to rule
with an everlasting night. Gamers must learn to use the powers of a
legendary suit and control magical eggs to restore light to the
kingdom.
A vibrant, lightning-fast 3-D platformer, Billy Hatcher and the
Giant Egg challenges gamers to hatch dozens of magical creatures
from special eggs as they explore themed, carnival-esque
environments on their quest to save the kingdom. Playing as Billy
Hatcher, players will roll the eggs though the world, using them to
solve puzzles, fight enemies, and even ultimately hatch magical
creatures that enhance their abilities, adding a unique strategic
twist to the fast action. "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is
pure Sonic Team magic," said Mike Fischer, VP of Marketing,
SEGA of America. "A dizzying blend of fast action, hypnotic
gameplay and one-of-a-kind characters, Billy Hatcher and the Giant
Egg is, without a doubt, the next big thing from the legendary Sonic
Team."
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is slated for release in Fall 2003.
