ANAHEIM, Calif.-- Disney Interactive Studios today unveiled its eagerly-awaited video game for the Nintendo DS, Spectrobes, during the world premiere at Disneyland's Tomorrowland. Special guest, Jason Dolley from Disney Channel's new hit show, "Cory in the House," and Disney Interactive Studios' producer from Japan, Kentaro Hisai, were joined by 60 local-area fourth graders from Gauer Elementary School during the event, which allowed the students and other park guests to see and play the completed version of Spectrobes for the first time.
Spectrobes takes players on a captivating action-filled intergalactic journey and introduces innovative new gameplay features designed specifically for the Nintendo DS(TM) platform. The game features two junior Planetary Patrol officers named Rallen and Jeena who must save the galaxy by awakening, training and collecting prehistoric creatures known as Spectrobes. These creatures hold the key to defeating merciless enemies known as the Krawl.
The students were given an opportunity to be among the first to play Spectrobes at multiple game kiosks in Tomorrowland at Disneyland while videos depicting the Spectrobes story origin played in the background. The 60 Gauer Elementary School students were able to meet TV star Jason Dolley and talk to him about the game. Producer Kentaro Hisai was also there to answer all of their gameplay questions. At the end of the unveiling, the 60 Gauer students were surprised with a giveaway in which each received a first copy of the Spectrobes video game from Disney Interactive Studios along with a brand new Nintendo DS.
Spectrobes fully utilizes aspects of the Nintendo DS, such as its revolutionary touch screen and microphone, through creative gameplay that includes excavating and awakening dormant creatures with the stylus and voice commands. The game will include a unique code input card system, local wireless gameplay, Nintendo Wi-Fi downloadable content and a compatible online community. Included with each game is a pack of four trading cards that have a code which is available by placing the card over the Nintendo DS touch screen and tapping numeric holes to unlock special items.
Developed by Kyoto, Japan-based Jupiter Corporation, Spectrobes will be available worldwide on March 13, 2007.
Spectrobes is rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) and will have a suggested retail price of $29.99.
