Oooh-la-la, Ulala is finally coming to the PlayStation 4 in Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash. The virtual reality spin-off of SEGA’s classic Dreamcast rhythm action series has been playable in Japanese arcades for a little while, but will now strut its stuff to PlayStation VR. There’s no date just yet, but we reckon it’ll probably drop this year.
For those of you who don’t know, Space Channel 5 originally launched in 1999 for the Dreamcast, but it did end up getting ported to the PlayStation 2 alongside its sequel. The glitzy series essentially sees you button matching to the beat as the pink-haired protagonist dances through a space station, rescuing hostages in order to increase ratings. It’s amazing.

Man I hope this is like the UK late night Channel 5 of the late nineties. Some of my favourite shows...
i wonder if they will remove the michael jackson cameo but this is still a surprise.
@huyi It's a new game I think.
Groovy!
Likely to be the most secretly recorded of all the PSVR games. 😂
Can we play this without vr? Also it will be super great if sega release samba the amigo with ps move support, it's a bit of hassle to mess around with the maracas cable
@get2sammyb ah so it's not a remaster then, cool still but it would be nice is they paid homage to MJ too.
@wiiware i recently just got a VR headset too so more games the better.
@huyi Congrats, have you try until dawn rush of blood and batman, thats my fav vr game when I still have ps vr
I remember playing a demo of the original on the Dreamcast. Absolutely terrifying to realise that was nearly 20 years ago. Where has all the time gone? Looks over at game collection shelf Oh right... 😒
@wiiware yeah i have until dawn rush of blood from ps+ and i brought skyrim VR today, gonna setup the VR today so can't wait.
@Matroska still have my copy of space channel 5 with my DC.
Cool! I will probably look into getting this. Sega are absolutely killing it on PS4 of late!
