SAN FRANCISCO - (September 23, 2003) - SEGA(R) of America, Inc. today

announced the release of "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg(TM)," a new

platform game exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube(TM). Developed by the

creator of SEGA's world-famous Sonic The Hedgehog(TM) series, "Billy Hatcher

and the Giant Egg" challenges players to solve puzzles, complete missions

and defeat powerful bosses throughout massive, fantastical environments with

the help of magical eggs.

The first all-new platform character from Yuji Naka and Sonicteam(TM) since

the SEGA Saturn(TM) era, "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg" is the story of a

young boy on a mission to save the world from the clutches of the evil Crow

King who threatens to rule with an everlasting night. Gamers must learn to

harness the powers of a legendary rooster suit and control magical eggs to

restore light to the land.

"Yuji Naka and Sonicteam has once again created a groundbreaking gaming

experience filled with colorful worlds and one-of-a-kind characters," said

Shinobu Toyoda, Executive Vice President, SEGA of America, Inc. "Billy

Hatcher's offbeat and engaging gameplay offers something for gamers of all

ages this fall and into the holiday season."

A vibrant, new spin on the traditional platformer, "Billy Hatcher and the

Giant Egg" challenges gamers to solve puzzles, fight enemies, and ultimately

hatch magical creatures that enhance their abilities. Players will find the

fast action and unique elements that they expect from Sonicteam titles as

they explore themed, mystical environments on their quest to save the

kingdom of Morningland. The adventure also includes hidden characters, and a

four-player split-screen feature with cooperative and competitive gameplay

modes.

"Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg" is rated "E" for Everyone and is available
