Today Disney Interactive Studios announced Spectrobes was the best-selling third-party Nintendo DS title in March 2007. The game, developed by Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories creator Jupiter, was an original IP -- a bit of a departure for Disney Interactive, which is known for licensed games based on Disney properties. A successful game usually means sequels, and that seems to be just what Disney has in mind.
"Spectrobes has quickly become a global phenomenon and has consistently been among the top-selling Nintendo DS titles since launch," said Craig Relyea, VP of Marketing for Disney Interactive Studios. "We look forward to growing Spectrobes as a Disney franchise and providing more content for the increasing number of Spectrobes fans worldwide."
Spectrobes allows players to excavate, train, and battle with nearly 500 creatures. While some have written the game off as a lesser Pokemon, consumers are voting with their dollars and making the title a success.
