スペースチャンネル5 VR あらかた★ダンシングショー

Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash is a 2020 rhythm video game developed and published by Grounding Inc for virtual reality (VR) platforms on PlayStation 4, Oculus Quest, Viveport and Windows. Following a new reporter assigned to assist Space Channel 5 protagonist Ulala during an alien threat covered by the titular news network, players engage in motion-based combat by mimicking the actions of opponents in time to musical tracks. Space Channel 5 VR is the first main game in the Space Channel 5 franchise since 2003, with the previous installment being Space Channel 5: Ulala's Cosmic Attack for the Game Boy Advance. Production of Space Channel 5 VR began in 2018 following positive feedback of a VR demo created by Grounding in collaboration with KDDI using the series characters and gameplay. Several original staff returned including Yumiko Miyabe as a lead artist, original writer Takumi Yoshinaga, Minoko Okamura as producer and the voice of Ulala, and Naofumi Hataya as sound director. Unlike the previous installments in the franchise, Space Channel 5 VR received mostly mixed reviews from video game journalists, with praise for its translation of the series gameplay and art design into VR, but it was also widely faulted for its lack of content, short gameplay, and exclusion and sidelining of fan-favorite characters.
