I have been looking forward to this for a long time. Perhaps I'm a little too old for Spectrobes but I find it rediculously addictive. I think I spent 14 hours on the first three levels of the 2nd DS game. It's a stress reliever, digging up fossils, playing with cute little monsters ^-^.

Yay, more Anime graphics.

Here's hoping that a developer like High Voltage makes a game that has RPG elements, minus the Anime look. This might be a good single player game, but I am soooo sick of the look.

I forgot about this game, should be good though hope a lot more variety than the ds ones since those got repetitive early in the game.

The youtube vid has sold me. Definitely getting these. I don't know why but I never played the DS game - anyone can suggest a reason I was put off by it? Also what does this scrub down to?

EDIT: Wow just read the NFO, these release groups get more and more arrogant with their slogans every day

I spent an hour in the game, and it feels like it's DS counterparts. If you've played the DS games, you pretty much got the rundown of how this Wii one will be.

Is it just me, or this game (at least by the trailer) looks a lot like Phantasy Star Online?

Well no it's not just you after all I played phanasty star online episodes 1&2 pack for gamecube and thought it rocked! And yes they look sort of alike after all the lush green, the volcanoes, the needlessly glowing caves.......SIMILARITIES ANYONE???

OBJECTION!!! (I'm using that one a lot lately

It's true you get the run-down but with enhanced graphics, riding spectrobes, enhanced rallen combat (from what I've seen), and JEENA AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER!?!?!?!?!?
There's so much more extra that the run-down you speak of is not even close to the full potential of the game.

It's original. And fun(the series). And no, it's NOT a damn Pokemon knockoff, otherwise we can say Fossil Fighters is a knockoff of Spectrobes AND Pokemon.

The game looks good, i may be getting it.

You could play Jeena a few moments in Spectrobes 2, but only to solve those riddles to open locks.

I always thought Spectrobes was boring, so no interest in this one. I don't see why Nintendo keeps trying to remake Pokemon's major success instead of just dumping tons of cash into Pokemon. While Pokemania has died down a lot, the handheld games are still immensely popular and there's probably still some kiddies/weaboos who watch the anime.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
