Last year's Spectrobes on DS sold around a million copies, but I have heard tell that critics found it lacking in substance a bit. From what I saw at Disney Interactive's E3 booth, though, they've fleshed things out. More »

Not all four letter words are kosher in Spectrobes. It's possible to name things in-game. But, it's a family title by Disney, so words like "shit," "fuck" or "Sega" are not acceptable. According to game site Siliconera, names like "Xbox" or "Capcom" are a-okay, it's just "Sega" that gets nixed out. Huh. Somebody else must be pissed about what's happened to Sonic!

This Saturday, March 10, Nintendo and Disney will be throwing a party at the Nintendo World Store in New York City to show off the upcoming Nintendo DS game Spectrobes. Unfortunately, we don't think this party will be on par with the ones held at GDC this week, as it will most likely be booze free, but Kentaro Hisai from developer Jupiter will be on hand. Maybe he'll buy you some shots. More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=242808&view=rss&microfeed=true Ever since Ashcraft's feature on the game, I've been pretty excited about Spectrobes, actively trying to dig up all I can on the game, like this Japanese commercial, for instance. I think this could very well be a Pokemon-killer for me. I've long been shamed by my secret love for Nintendo's pocket monsters. It'll be nice to be shamed by something else for a change.

OH! I totally forgot to post this neat Spectrobes pen I was given at my Jupiter visit last week. It's even got Disney stamped on its arse. Brian Ashcraft More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=233850&view=rss&microfeed=true After Ashcraft filled us all with breathless anticipation for Disney and Jupiter's upcoming Spectrobes, I decided to take a look around and see what else I could find on the Pokemon-esque game for the DS. While I couldn't find out much more info that wasn't included in Ashcraft's feature on the game, I did manage to turn up this new trailer on Gametrailers.com. While it's not quite my style of game, it certainly looks very well put together. Now if I can just get the sound of that shaggy ragamuffin saying "Wake up!" over and over out of my head...
