Yu Yu Hakusho news update

The folks from FUNimation send along the following information:

Yu Yu Hakusho news update.

The biggest news has to be the Yu Yu Hakusho Chance to Win $100,000 Sweepstakes that started October 7. Yu Yu Hakusho fans have been anxiously waiting for this promotion. One lucky fan will have a chance to win $100,000. They have had a great response this week alone and the sweepstakes continues until midnight on December 7, 2003, so they are expecting a grand (or should I say $100,000) turnout for this promotion. For contest rules and entry guidelines, visit www.yuyuhakusho.com.

They have been having a lot of great developments with our Yu Yu Hakusho licensees. As a result, they have added new sections to the Yu Yu Hakusho Web site for SCORE and Atari.

- The SCORE Yu Yu Hakusho Trading Card Game hit the streets on September 15. Fans can stop by www.yuyuhakusho.com and learn how to play, watch the demo trailer, download a free starter deck and find out more information about their favorite teams. SCORE has been having great success with the TCG and Yu Yu Hakusho TCG tournaments are already underway.

- On December 9, Atari will launch their Yu Yu Hakusho: Spirit Detective video game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. Fans can stop by the video game section at www.yuyuhakusho.com to find out more information about the game, view screenshots and watch the game trailer.

*** Fans looking for Yu Yu Hakusho apparel will be able to find it at select locations including Kids R Us, JC Penney and Mervyn's. Availability is on a limited basis, so fans are encouraged to stop out and check their local retailers.

They have a lot of Yu Yu Hakusho licensing deals in the works, so I will have more updates coming in the next few weeks.
