Why isn't the company starting with Ulala's first face-off with the Morolians? Well, unlike the ones that were featured in its fully polygonal sequel, the backgrounds in the original Space Channel 5 were made up of (poorly compressed) pre-rendered videos--which would have to be re-rendered if the game is to be properly displayed in 720p.
That said, Space Channel 5 Part 2 (watch the game's first "battle" here) is considered by many fans to be the better of the two Tetsuya Mizuguchi-developed games, so maybe it's best that the folks at Sega are concentrating on the sequel at the moment.

I've never actually seen footage of this game before, to be completely honest. I think maybe I missed a real gem. It looks quirky and cool and right up my alley.
Oh, it's definitely a gem, Justin. The music -- esp. in the first one -- is *great*, plus they're just fun :) BTW, the game I linked to at the bottom of this post -- Space Channel 5 Special Edition -- is for the PS2 and can be purchased for very little $$ at this point.
SWEET!
Yes! :)
