Spectrobes: Origins Preview and Videos

One of the most popular handheld games on the Nintendo DS is getting an all-new Wii version this week. Disney Interactive will launch a follow-up to its two DS titles (Spectrobes and Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals), which have collectively sold more than 1.6 million copies. This new Wii game is called Spectrobes: Origins, and it is a prequel that explores events leading up to the handheld adventures. The game is available in stores starting August 18, 2009.

Spectrobes: Origins features an original story that reveals secrets from the past through flashbacks of significant events. Spectrobes: Origins has detailed three-dimensional graphics on the big screen as well as some updated gameplay features. Players will use the unique Wii controls to explore vast worlds, excavate three-dimensional fossils, battle in real time and unravel an engaging story while discovering the key to preventing a galactic threat. As you can see from the gameplay video below, Spectrobes: Origins features plenty of hack-and-slash action, with some RPG elements thrown in for good measure.
