Yes it is a Pokémon style clone and yes first impressions scream kids game! While it is a game kids will enjoy, if you're a fan of collecting, battling and levelling up monsters then you'll enjoy this too. There's a lot of backtracking if you want to collect all the goodies as well as a lot of time you can spend training your Spectrobes. Despite its inconsistencies the Tokyo based developer Genki has put a lot of effort into the game and it shows. It's definitely worth a play so 'ikuze'! (Let's go!)

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.
yea or "people, who didnt own a Wii, now can enjoy Wii & Wii U games on one console" yeay! :)
btw, here's a good list of games Wii and others, made by me ^^ :)

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!!!
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. :-(
"June will unleash some big RPGs upon Japanese gamers." -RPG Land
Street dates on the biggest RPGs to hit Japan in My and June within.
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."
