So here’s something interesting. The OFLC has rated Left for Dead on the DS. As far as gamers know, the only Left for Dead game is available only on the Xbox 360. The OFLC has given the game a MA 15+ rating and was filed by EA on September 17th. If this is true, I’d assume that the game would be a port. Wait, is this really true?!


– Port creatures from first Spectrobes game
– DGamer support
– Spectrobes website being launched – updated by data that users load from their DS
– Individual player achievements, community achievements (ex: be part of first 10,000 to upload data during the game’s release)
– Global + local Wi-Fi matches
– Sell Spectrobe creatures online, users set their own values

Jimmy Soga, PR agent of XSEED Games, has stated that Marvelous Entertainment USA will be co-publishing three unannounced titles for the North American market. One of these games is for the Wii and will be revealed before the end of September. Also, there are two DS announcements which should be known by the time TGS rolls by. There are plenty of realistic options that the announcements could be related to, but we’ll know for sure very soon.

Glendale, CA – September 16, 2008 – Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames, in conjunction with AQ Interactive invite gamers around the world to “Awaken the Power Within” when Blue Dragon Plus for Nintendo DS™ breathes fire across North America and Europe in March 2009.

Directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, Blue Dragon Plus features character designs by Akira Toriyama, and a soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu.

Currently a top-rated show on Cartoon Network in the U.S., the story of Blue Dragon centers on a young boy named Shu and several of his friends who possess the ability to control phantom shadows that mirror the actions of their masters. In Blue Dragon Plus, one year has passed since Shu and his companions defeated the tyrannical remnant of the Ancients, Nene. In the midst of the battle, the world split in two and now consists of a myriad of “cubes” that exploded from its depths. King Jibral notices a mysterious cube in the distance suddenly start to move violently, and from it he sees the Shadow of a Balaur, a three-headed dragon, emerge. The enormous and sinister Shadow is just the beginning of the new turmoil and devastation to come.
