Spectrobes
is an anime-inspired action/role playing game created by Japanese developer Jupiter
and published by Buena Vista Games.
"We've
experienced tremendous success developing new intellectual properties such as
Kingdome Hearts in Japan, and the innovation and style of Spectrobes are
a perfect fit for the expertise of renowned developer Jupiter Corporation,"
said Buena Vista Games senior VP and GM Graham Hopper.
"Spectrobes
is a new and unique property with endless potential for a dynamic entertainment
company such as The Walt Disney Company. There is tremendous interest in this
franchise from other divisions such as media networks, online and consumer products."
"Based
on BVG's original concept and utilizing the creative style of Japanese anime,
manga and traditional Japanese art, Spectrobes is an innovative game developed
by the outstanding team at Jupiter," said BVG Japan producer Kentaro Hisai.
"The game's intense real-time battle and unique excavation features should
enthrall gamers throughout the world."
Spectrobes
introduces two junior Interplanetary Patrol officers named Rallen and Jeena who
learn of strange, prehistoric creatures called Spectrobes that possess special
powers. These fossilized Spectrobes hold the key to defeating a vicious and merciless
force, known only as the Krawl that threatens to destroy the galaxy. The two heroes
embark on a mission to save their galaxy - to do so they must excavate, awaken,
train and collect all the Spectrobes they can and battle to defeat the Krawl,
informs an official release.
Spectrobes
is infused with the edgy, highly stylized look and feel of Japanese anime and
manga, and uniquely combines original characters, a compelling story and breakthrough
gameplay. Spectrobes allows players to excavate, train and battle with nearly
500 unique creatures, utilizing every interactive feature of the Nintendo DS.
Once the creature is excavated using the touch screen portion of the Nintendo
DS, the Spectrobe is then awakened and can be utilized in real-time battles with
enemies. Players must collect, train and help their Spectrobes evolve in order
to progress and succeed in the game. With highly customizable elements and powers,
each Spectrobe is unique to individual game players.
The
release date for Spectrobes will be announced later.
