Yattaman has been part of cartoon culture since the 70's and the characters are still recognized by a sizable portion of the Japanese population. Earlier this year, Takara Tomy released Yattaman DS which was a side scrolling platform game featuring the heroes of Yattaman doing their thing. The wrinkle was in the gadgets and weapons from the popular animated series which were usable to overcome hairy situations. When October rolls around, Takara will ship Yattaman DS2 to market which looks a lot like the first game. Seven new stages are featured including a sprint across the African Savannah, the desert, ancient ruins, and even an underwater trek for a total of 54 areas to explore. Similar to the first Yattaman game, a bonus side game features mech-fighting action where a Yatta animal robot is piloted against one of six robotic adversaries. The entire cast of characters appear including Gan Takada, Ai Kaminari, Omocchama, Doronjo, Boyakki, and Tonzura. The original voice actors from the animated series were also tapped to reprise their roles in the game.
Preorders are welcome to ship on October 16, 2008 at JPY4800 ($48.90).
