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."
