More facts and some new screenshots on SEGA's upcoming Dinosaur King for the Nintendo DS.


Dinosaur King on the Nintendo DS brings exciting new twists to the traditional role playing game genre, with 3D battling systems and multiplayer fighting action via Wi-Fi. Playing as Max or Rex, otherwise known as the D-Team, players will collect over 100 dinosaurs, each with its own special moves totaling over 240 in all. Traveling to five different territories around the globe, players will dig for fossils that are indigenous to that region. Once the player has collected their dinosaurs, exciting battles can take place to stop the nefarious Dr. Z and the Alpha Gang bent on hunting down the dinosaurs and taking over the world.

The franchise has established itself as a major anime series in Japan, and is now creating a stir in North America. The animated Dinosaur King series is currently in its first season and airing on 4KidsTV Network and will be moving to CW4Kids this fall for the second season.
