Quote

Get ready to save the day! No, really. A wicked plot by a sinister raven and his massive flock of monstrous crows has cast Morning Land into darkness. Only Billy Hatcher and his friends from the human world can bring the dawn again to the lands of the Chicken Elders. Get ready to discover a wild and unpredictable world, from the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, where you'll use the surprising power of the Giant Eggs, and the creatures they contain, to make your way through countless puzzling realms and challenging missions. Bounce 'em, dunk 'em, shoot 'em, dash 'em! You'll be surprised by what you can do with these eggs but it will take quick moves and a Rooster Suit to foil the fowl forces of Dark Raven.

• A vast realm to explore with lands of water, fire, ice, wind and more.
• 4 great playable characters, each with their own skill and style.
• More eggs than a henhouse and every one hatches something surprising and helpful. Some even breathe fire.
• 4-Player Battle Mode with 3 unique types of gameplay.

The game is set for a release on September 26, 2003 in the US.

Also, according to Gamesarefun.com, the GBA bonus mini-games that you can unlock in Billy Hatcher appear to be the same versions available in Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, with one major difference. Unlike in PSO, you do not need to be connected to the internet in order to download these GBA games.
