GamesRadar: Spectrobes: Origins Review

GamesRadar writes: "The mere act of appearing on the Wii in a fully fledged RPG has done a lot to shake off Spectrobes' debt to Pokemon – and the enhanced excavation elements haven't hurt either – but being less of a rip-off doesn't make this any more fun. Although it's a solid attempt to break into the overcrowded creature-collection market, it's still one giant leap behind the undisputed, Pikachu-shaped king. Long live Pokemon".

we dont have to say "farewell" to any of these games. We can say, "welcome aboard" and play them on the wii-u.

Nintendo should use that as a marketing angle. "Don't say farewell to those wii games. Say hello to them all over again on the Nintendo Wii-U."

Or something to that effect.

Yep i Didn't have a Wii, but i preordered the Wii U. So i will get to play all those great games i missed and i know there's more than that list!!!

beerkeg4231d ago

There's tons of games for the Wii. Some thought themselves too much of a gamer to appreciate them though.

I know its only an opinion piece but... No Sin and Punishment, no Dead Space, no Zack and Wiki? There's numerous other gems out there but those three seem like no-brainers.

Those were actually on the docket to be added to the video, but it would have caused me to miss my deadline for the piece. I had to stop where I was. :-(

GamerPops: Spectrobes: Origins Review

GP:

"Spectrobes: Origins is a colourful action-RPG geared towards a preteen audience, and everything from the visuals to the characters to the dialogue are geared to that end. It's not a title that will likely appeal to a typical gaming audience, though the general shortage of quality RPGs on the Wii could make it something to check out when you feel the urge. It doesn't do enough to make it a must-play experience, but if you give it a chance, you'll be pleasantly surprised."
