Nah, they took it off a whle ago. 2:00 AM is now used for re-showing the first run of shows on it, and Lupin's time slot was all over the place.

The game has new, slightly less-good boxart, with a green background and 3D renderings replacing the hand-drawn versions. I'll attach a file once I can actually get it to upload without stopping halfway through. Also, I updated the Yahoo Group with info on which episodes were airing when it returns.

Oh, and Xeno, Cliff Hanger did have some Lupin stuff in it to my understanding. Also, for those who would like to see tons of character and location screens, check out the official site for the JPN game at www.Lupin-Game.com
The Bandai site for it is, again, http://www.bandaigames.com/game.cfm?id=2
Also, I'll probably take some screen grabs of the in-game stuff from the Volume 4 DVD, there isn't much, but it's better than nothing.

I've only read the Lupin mangas and they have an ridiculous amount of sex and nudity. It's almost like 2 steps away from hentai. I wonder will the video game have any of that?

I seriously doubt it. Also, which mangas have you read? I just picked up Volume 8 (to go along with 1 and 2) and it's pretty tame when compared to those two, fun read nonetheless. Also, according to the Lupin Encyclopedia, there will be a sixth DVD release for the second TV series. The title is - Lupin the 3rd: Lupin the Target, can't wait to buy it. Oh, and the second series returns on Adult Swim tonight (technically tomorrow) at 1:30 A.M.

Just found out that my name will be appearing in the guide for the game. WHOOHOO!!

That's awesome. I guess my question didn;t make it.

Well, time will tell. IGN has a review of the game up - http://ps2.ign.com/articles/489/489970p1.html
I'll be snatching this game up quickly, as I have a "get an extra $10 in trade-in credit" EB coupon if I find three games to get rid off, which should (hopefully) allow me to get both the game and guide for next to nothing.
