Macross: Do You Remember Love? Hybrid Pack Promo Streamed

Namco Bandai Games began streaming a promotional video for the The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? Hybrid Pack release on Thursday. The five-minute video describes the high-definition remastering process and includes clips from the anime film and the included PlayStation 3 game My Boyfriend's a Pilot 2012.

The video highlights the various bonuses that will ship with the 30th Anniversary Box bundle, including a new code to download the The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? game from the PlayStation Store. The side-scrolling shooter game originally shipped for the PlayStation console in 1999. The 30th Anniversary Box will also have an all-color booklet, a miniaturized version of the theatrical pamphlet, a miniature poster collection, a mini pencil sketch collection, a box illustrated by Hidetaka Tenjin, an archive of anime magazines, and a strip of actual film.

The 30th Anniversary Box's discs will include over 90 minutes of bonus footage, such as the first Blu-ray Disc release of the original video anime epilogue The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012. Other extras will include a discussion about the origins of the Macross series with creator/mechanical designer Shōji Kawamori and his design mentor Kazutaka Miyatake, a "Do You Remember Love? Flash Back 1984" documentary, the anime movies that were made for the Sega Saturn Do You Remember Love? game, the "Do You Remember the Taste?" ads and commericals of the past, the image board gallery, trailers, and special footage.

Namco Bandai Games will release the regular edition of the Hybrid Pack for 7,140 yen (about US$88), and the limited-edition 30th Anniversary Box will cost 13,800 yen (US$171). Both versions will ship in Japan on July 26.
