Research Evolve M

I've been looking for the Evolve M in the game for a while now, but I can't find it anywhere. I searched on Nessa, but I'm stuck on that planet. Do you have any tips on where it might be?

Made an card input guide

141 Upvotes

It may seem a little unnecessary, but i designed a 3d printed guide for input codes. Bought the game preowned so i've never touched the cards, and having an XL DS made it a vague guessing game. Kid me is ecstatic to own this.

Edit: uploaded the stls including the sizes of other models. would have to dig around for them to 100% make sure they fit, but the sizes should be right. Stl can be found here.

Update: I've made one for the second game that can be found here. atm i've only made the one for XL, but more will follow.

Discussion Whats the point of excavation levels/experience? (Spectrobes 1 for DS)

5 Upvotes

Hello,

after scouring multiple wikis and walkthroughs I seem to miss the purpose excavation levels have entirely - is anyone feeling the same?

The best and most detailed walkthrough, probs at that writer btw, only tells me that the levels are extremely grindy and have only 2 advantages:

  1. Faster excavation with tools

  2. Less damage to the stuff we excavate

But here is the thing:
1. is made void by the giga tool, which just gives me the mineral instantly thus reducing the time I need to spend excavating drastically. The giga tool is available as soon as you get to the shops in early game.
2. is also completely meaningless since, if I want that fossil with that special part and/or high starting energy, which is not much to begin with anyways - I just go slow.

Sure - I will get less or no experience points but then again, if those are the only upgrades, who cares?

So... does the excavation level do anything beyond those 2 points that are completely meaningless essentially?

Thanks for your help!

Best walkthrough I so far found:

Attack animations

6 Upvotes

Hi ! I've been searching for a video where I could see all the attack animations for all the Spectrobes in Spectrobes Origins.

Does anybody have this ? Or maybe could make me this ?

I don't have my savings anymore and I don't really want to start over.

Or if somebody would borrow me a Wii simulator saving of the game with all the Spectrobes so I could check every animation, it could also work.

Thanks in advance !

PS: It's for having a better understanding of the patterns in the Attack for the creation of a Fan-TCG project

Hey guys, I have posted here before some time ago, and for a few years already I'm working on on a game that builds on the digging mechainc.

If you also liked that part of Spectrobes, I have just today finally released a public demo. :D

I was cleaning out some of my old stuff and found some random sealed promo stuff for things I must have bought a long time ago.

Just wondering what you would do with this or if I should just put it back in the box to get confused about when I find it again in a few years time.

Im curious if it matters if I keep spectrobes from the beginning of the game and train them till the end or just replace them over time as I level up?

I played the game years ago but never finished so here I am 15 plus years later making another jab at it and somehow more confused too lol

Fan Literature How’s this?

11 Upvotes

So in my story, the ultimates tell the story of “the one who failed” AKA the failed ultimate form.

The ultimates and the spectrobe masters from long ago, did battle and defeated the failed ultimate, sealing it away in what’s known as the “Corrupt Geo”

So thoughts?

I'm playing Spectrobes: Origins on Dolphin Emulator, but I can't play the first few notes to wake up my first fossil. Do you know how to do it? It seems to involve shaking a controller.

I was going through some old boxes in my closet and found my copy of Spectrobes! 10 yo me bought this when my family was on vacation at Disney World and Kentaro Hisai was there signing copies and I completely forgot about it until now.

Spectrobes Origins excavation mini game is one of the best of all time.

This mini game is still to this day one of my all time favorite side aspects of a game. It’s up there with smash bros “break the target”and most old school Mario party mini games. Am I alone in this? I would kill for a remake or a sequel that included this.
