Spectrobes input card - Image 1You just gotta love those sleeping Spectrobe beauties. Disney has recently released Webisode 4 and revealed the new features for this intergalactic DS title.

Spectrobes' gameplay will demand full use of the DS' features. Players will use the stylus (of course) and the mic to dig up and train the narcoleptic Spectrobes, use the WiFi connection to download additional content, and play online via the internet.

Included in each Spectrobes pack is four translucent lenticular code input cards. They unlock additional content like creatures and minerals once a player unlocks a special ability in the game. These collectible trading cards have numbered holes. The cards fit on top of the touch screen, and players use the stylus to punch in numerical codes during the game. Additional trading cards will be available after the game's release.

Players can also have a break from battling the evil Krawl and connect to the Internet where they'll be issued with a personal planetary patrol badge number. Leader boards will show players' stats and track top scores for special sequence battles. Talk about worldwide bragging rights. Or players can battle locally with other players via WiFi: one-on-one or an organized tournament that can support up to 16 players.

Spectrobes by Jupiter Corporation will hit the shelves on March 13 at a retail price of USD $ 29.99. In the meantime, you can watch Webisode 4 below.

Sarcastic or not, you're a dumb@$$ for writing that lol. This game looks somewhat promising. If only they had gameplay footage in that youtube video.
