Nintendo’s RPG dinosaur series Fossil Fighters looks to be making a return next year with a new game in the series slated for 3DS.
According to Nintendo Everything, the 3DS version is said to feature improved visuals, a lowered camera perspective, and movement in third-person. Players will also be able to select from a male or female protagonist at the beginning of the game; details regarding the storyline are still unknown.
The original Fossil Fighters was released in Japan, North America and Australia. The sequel Fossil Fighters: Champions followed with a Japanese and North American release; European releases have been strangely absent over the years.
Will the eShop possibly save the day and allow the new Fossil Fighters to be released simultaneously in as many regions as possible? Let us know if you’re optimistic about a more global release with this new entry in the series.

This series always looked interesting to me. I might fianlly get into it if they decide to localize it to north america.
LOL I'm gonna buy this.
Yaaaay...
I'm the only one that liked these games aren't I.
Uh-oh...I'm worried that there won't be a chance for Aussies and Kiwis to train Vivosaurs again...and that Europeans will not have a chance at all.
@VoidNo, you arent. I screamed of happiness when i saw this
I think this game was the last demo I DL from the Wii DS service.
This was Disney wasn't it? Maybe I'm wrong
Ok...im shocked
@justlink So did I!
@MJKOP No Nintendo has always owned this IP
Hahaha nice. I loved cleaning the fossils XD
Wow, um, I'm pleasantly surprised ! I really enjoyed the first one, didnt pick up the second one, but if this one is good I'll pick it up. Honestly I thought Nintendo would leave this series behind once it transitioned to the 3ds. (I'm really happy about this XD.)
I can't wait! I've played all the fossil fighters so far and this one is going to be the best one yet.
@MJKOP You're thinking of Spectrobes.
The graphical style of the first one turned me off even though I did play it, the rainbow people with no knees made me uncomfortable.
I played the demo of the latest one and loved it for fossil parts. Collecting, digging and cleaning the fossils. Didn't care for the RPG or fighting, but hey, I just tried it because of my fascination with paleontology.
Yes!!! I am game for more Fossil Fighters!
Man seriously the 3ds just can't stop producing good games, I can't remember a time where a handheld dominated this much since the early gba era.
I've liked the games and really really enjoy the concept, but I hope they could rehaul the battle system into something more generic JRPG-ish. I'm not fond of the point-based attack requirements. The inactive allies stat bonuses/decrements could be retained, but just doing away with the points would make it a lot more enjoyable, maybe even making it feel like Rotation Battles in Pokemon.
I never played the originals, but I hope it makes it to everyone. I may give this a shot unless NL tells me its really bad
@Void i liked em too
I though this looked interesting when it first came out on the DS. Seemed like Nintendo's answer to Dinosaur King, a horribly underrated show.
Never heard of these series So I'll get this one for sure if I can. Also does this game have any story where you need to play the other games to understand it?
Well this is a nice suprise. Always wanted to try the series.
@C-Olimar Spectrobes yes, thank you!
Is this a remake of the original DS game or a sequel?
I love this seriesw, often describe it as Pokemon with Dinosaurs
@MJKOP Spectrobes. That series is owned by Disney.
I always loved Dinosaurs and I never really new this series existed up until a while ago. I didn't even know it was Nintendo published either.
