E3 08: Sega Blowout: Dinosaur King

E3 08: Sega Blowout: Dinosaur King screenshot

Now we have a trailer (after the jump) and screens from Climax Entertainment’s Dinosaur King, a game our own Tiff Chow described as “Rock, Paper, Scissors with dinosaurs shooting lightning and using wrestling moves.”

At a glance, this game looks like another Pokemon knockoff -- albeit with dinosaurs -- and after reading the fact sheet I’m not so sure that would be an inaccurate observation. Instead of capturing the 100 available dinosaurs inside tiny red and white balls, however, you’ll need travel to archeological sites across five continents and dig up fossils with your stylus. After you revive the unearthed dinosaurs you will, of course, make them fight other dinosaurs with the 240 plus moves available.

Dinosaur King will be releasing sometime this September. Does it look like something you might be interested in?

Didn't like, 3 other DS games have the exact same fossil digging, gotta dig em all thing going on? And electric dino wrestling sounds way cooler than it probably is.
