Oddly enough, screens for a game called Dinosaur King popped up on Sega's press site, but there's been no official word or press release as to what the game is or when to expect it.Still, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what this title involves. The screens are pretty telling; it looks like some sort of paleontology sim, in which you dig up dinosaur bones and restore the extinct creature's skeletons as completely as possible.
In fact, it sounds very familiar to what we know of We Are Fossil Diggers, a second-party game that was only released in Japan (and happens to be selling quite well over there). Some of the screens for Dinosaur King also hint that the title has an added drama element, though, so we'll wait until we hear more information.

Obviously no one cares, but the game is based on the Japanese card game/anime/manga "Dinosaur King".

Fox Box (wait...4kids TV now, apparently) always had the WORST taste in children's programming. I assume they're even worse now than they were when I was a kid, but even then there was no way in hell anyone was getting me to sit through one minute of Fighting Foodons or The Cramp Twins.
Anyway, if We Are Fossil Diggers hadn't have just had a highly-successful release in Japan, I'd be interested in this. The potential for localization of a more polished product not attached to a cartoon license is going to keep me away for a while. Alternately, Spectrobes 2 may be a vast improvement over the original, but I doubt that.

Eh I liked Fighting Foodons. Yes it was retarded at points but it was funny at sometimes. In Dinosaur king Everything is Bad. Voices, characters, plot, artwork. Its just plain BAD.
