Once awakened and trained, Spectrobes are powerful creatures that can be used by Rallen to battle against the Krawl or other players and their creatures locally via wireless gameplay. Players can enter a one-on-one battle with a friend or participate in an organized tournament for up to 16 players.
Players can also earn the ability to download content such as videos,
creatures, custom parts and minerals through a Wi-Fi connection. Also, once connected to the Internet, the Nintendo DS will generate a personal planetary patrol badge number that can be synchronized to each player’s profile page on the Spectrobes website. Once connected to their game results, players’ profiles will include information about their Spectrobes creatures, armor and weapons. In addition, a leader board on the website will track the top scores from several special sequence battles in the game, allowing players to show their success to a global audience.
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 USD.
