Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals offers up DLC
Disney Interactive Studios just sent us a press release all of you Spectrobes fans will get a kick out of. The latest game, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals has six items of DLC available, should you load up the game and log on to Wi-Fi Connect. Six different creatures are up for grabs: Windalo Windino Shasharp Grispit Samuspire Sestar On top of that, there is a special Nanairo sword for Rallen. Of course, none of this is free. Well, it's free in the sense that it doesn't cost real money, but you must spend in-game points on each item (one, to be exact). You can accrue up to 10 points each week as you enjoy the Wi-Fi capabilities of the game. %Gallery-21682% [Via press release]
New Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals trailer shows us villain, portals
With the new demos and videos available on the Nintendo Channel, we figured we'd nab this one for you all to see (without having to turn your Wii on, if you have one). When we heard about Disney's sequel to the first Spectrobes title, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, we were interested in what innovations the game would bring. Of course, that "innovation" turned into only more of what the first game presented, as the game adopted the model of providing fans of the first game with more and more of what that title offered. Likely, it'll work, because in these kind of games, folks are usually looking for just that. Anywho, check out the new trailer above. It not only shows off the new bad guy you're supposed to hate, but also a good deal of CG. So, what do you all think? %Gallery-21682%
Inspect these Spectrobes screens
Even if our internet petition to get Bokura wa Kaseki Horidaa localized doesn't end up working (current number of signatories: four), our urge to excavate stuff and then send our discoveries into bloody battle can still be fulfilled, thanks to Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals. The sequel to the million-selling Spectrobes is out later this year, and Disney fired new screens our way earlier today (none of which feature the DGamer service, sadly) -- head to our new Beyond the Portals gallery to check them out. It all looks eerily similar to the first game, though if Brain Training taught us anything, it's that you don't mess around with million-selling formulas. %Gallery-21682% [Via press release]
Disney officially names Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals
Fans of the first Spectrobes title may rejoice, for the game that supported those odd little punch cards is getting the sequel treatment. The new game will be called Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals. It follows the story of Rallen and Jeena, along with portals, which will lead to more collecting. You should pretty much know how this works by now. Other new features include: a new 3D perspective a map to assist in exploration different excavation and battle features and last, but not least, Dgamer and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection support for battling online Considering that last tidbit of information and having never gotten into the first game ourselves, we're thinking about checking out a sale or two and seeing what the game is all about. For more information, you can check out the official website for the game or head past the break for the press release.
Gotta watch 'em all: Spectrobes II trailer
Remember when we all found out about Disney's DGamer service? Well, one of the first titles to feature integration is the sequel Spectrobes II, the Pokemon-like game where players collect and level-up monsters. Having never played it (this is the closest we ever came), we don't know how to feel about the sequel, but as the tail-end of the trailer reveals, we'll have plenty of time to think it over. This title isn't coming until 2008. Hit up the break for the trailer.
