In addition to the animated series, the brand is ed in the U.S. by home video, as well as licensees in trading cards, action figures, apparel, and more.
"We are thrilled to be the first publisher to bring the Yū Yū Hakusho(TM) franchise to gamers in the United States," said Nancy MacIntyre, vice president of marketing for Atari. "The popularity of the Yū Yū Hakusho(TM) series and FUNimation's dedication to delivering quality licenses made it a logical follow-up to our Dragon Ball Z® catalog of games."
Developed by Sensory Sweep Studios and Screaming Games, Yū Yū Hakusho: Spirit Detective(TM) tells the saga of Yusuke Urameshi and his struggle for redemption as he battles evil in both the universe of the living and the spirit world. In Spirit Detective, players guide Yusuke through exciting adventures taken directly from the popular series, chronicling approximately the first third of the hero's 112-episode animated journey.
Players can assume the role of six major characters from the show including Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Botan and Kayko. Additionally, the game includes the major enemies from the television series' Spirit Detective Saga and offers more than 20 levels of gameplay. Beautiful artwork, real-time battles, several special attacks and a creative storyline will deliver the experience that Yū Yū Hakusho(TM) fans crave.
