July 15, 2000: Just Got this info from Amazon a few days ago. They had new pictures of the Animorphs Game Boy game coming out. Here they are:
May 14, 2000: Got this info from Morphz a few days ago. They had a new press release and a couple of new screenshots. The price for the Game right is estimated around $29.99 U.S, it might go up or down, we'll just have to see. Also the only weird thing is that the Game Boy game looks like the format of Pokémon, anyway here's the article by the people at IGN:
The books and TV show were only the beginning. Earlier this year, UbiSoft entered into an agreement with Scholastic to produce a Game Boy Color game based on the popular Animorphs series. And E3 is where we get the first details on the game in development.
In this portable action adventure, the alien enemies – the Yeerks – have captured four microprocessors of a device that could help them take over the world. Assuming the roles of four Animorphs, you'll have to retrieve the microprocessors in five missions spanning 12 location. Problem is, if you spend more than two hours as an animal, you'll never be able to turn back into a human.
Each mission features an explore mode where you'll have to search out the area for vital information that'll give you morphs to more than 45 different animals. Then you enter Battle mode, where you fight against your opposition in a card-battle style game, much like Pokémon Trading Card Game. Finally, there's the side-scrolling mode where you put your morphing and animal skills to use.
What's more, the game will put the Ubi Key to use. This feature is utilized in most every UbiSoft Game Boy Color game – with this feature, you can use other UbiSoft games to unlock hidden features and games in Animorphs, as well as use Animorphs to unlock hidden levels and games in other UbiSoft titles. How? With two Game Boy Colors and the infrared port on each.
We'll have more details on Animorphs when it's shown to us at E3.

The game will be an action platformer game, following the adventures of five teenagers with the ability to transform into animals. You'll utilize these kids' powers to defeat the secret alien invasion of Earth, all the while eluding Human-Controllers and other aliens.
The Game Boy Color game should be ready to go this Fall.
