Don’t you just love it when companies announce titles for the first time a second time?  A recent press release from Eidos does just that, reminding us of Monster Lab for the Nintendo Wii and DS coming in 2008.

For those of you that don’t recall, the basic premise is to build your own monster(s) out of 100 million+ available parts.  However, new detail is now available on other aspects of the game.  The player will be able to use the monster they built to explore an overworld, search out other monsters to fight, find new monster making pieces and ingredients, and even stumble upon side quests.  The combat is going to be gesture based, and will have an online mode available for both system versions.  There will also be a trading mode to share uniquely built monsters or monster parts.

All in all, it seems like a unique take on the whole “monster train, trade and fight” style of game.
