According to Nintendo DS Blog, Foundation 9 announced today that two new games, Monster Lab and Gauntlet(TM), will premiere at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle, Washington. Backbone Entertainment is the studio that is developing the two mentioned video games. Check this out from MarketWatch:

"Backbone Entertainment’s forthcoming original title, Monster Lab, is a story-based RPG/action hybrid set in the eerie, supernatural world of Uncanny Valley, where the evil Baron Mharti rules the region with a cruel hand. Players take on the role of an apprentice scientist who must perform a vast array of intricate experiments to create their very own monster from over 150 available monster parts. Bringing these creations to life, gamers can explore the land as they search for ingredients to make more monster parts, hunt down other monsters to defeat in combat and uncover fun quests and challenges as they attempt to vanquish the evil baron and liberate the villagers of Uncanny Valley.

Also developed by Backbone Entertainment, Gauntlet(TM) for the Nintendo DS is a feature rich game that stays true to the retro gameplay of the original arcade coin-op while boasting an updated look, additional attacks and powers, and a new experience-based combat system. The game also supports local and Wi-Fi support for four-player cooperative play, as well as three competitive multiplayer modes.

Both Monster Lab and Gauntlet are co-published by Eidos, Inc. and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in North America. For more information on Monster Lab, please visit http://www.monsterlabthegame.com."
