Whither Spectrobes?

I've got an appointment to go hang out with the Buena Vista Games folks at E3. And who wouldn't, after last week's announcement of a slate of titles from Q. While I'm there, I guess I'll be asking about Spectrobes:

Spectrobes is infused with the edgy, highly stylized look and feel of Japanese anime and manga, and uniquely combines original characters, a compelling story and breakthrough gameplay. Spectrobes allows players to excavate, train and battle with nearly 500 unique creatures -- utilizing every interactive feature of the Nintendo DS. Once the creature is excavated using the touch screen portion of the Nintendo DS, the Spectrobe is then awakened and can be utilized in real-time battles with enemies. Players must collect, train and help their Spectrobes evolve in order to progress and succeed in the game. With highly customizable elements and powers, each Spectrobe is unique to individual game players.

It's not an everyday thing to see Disney create a new franchise just for the video game space -- developed in Kyoto, no less! But then again, Jupiter's last effort (the technically impressive but poorly designed Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories for GBA) wasn't that hot. So who knows!
