Natsume president on Medabots, working with Kemco
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Natsume used to help bring over the Medabots games, but we haven’t seen any titles localized since the Game Boy Advance games. In an interview with Siliconera, Natsume president Hiro Maekawa said that the company doesn’t have “a concrete plan for future Medabots titles”, though he did say that there will be some sort of news about the series this year.
He said:
“At this point, we do not have a concrete plan for future Medabots titles, but we are carefully listening to fans voices and we know the team over there and would love the opportunity to bring a new Medabots game to the U.S. one day. Once again we have spent time, money, and love on that franchise, and we want to see it move forward just as much as our fans do. I know this isn’t the answer Medabots fans wanted, but stay tuned, because there will be some Medabots news in 2015. Keep an eye out!”
Maekawa also commented on Natsume’s relationship with Kemco. The two sides worked together on Alphadia Genesis, which landed on Wii U last year.
“We maintain a very close relationship with Kemco. We work very well with them and they make RPGs that fit so well into our “niche and unique” model. I have always been fond of RPGs and we continue to look for ones that fit with Natsume. Are we working together on a co-developed RPG? We have definitely talked about it! You will be one of the first to know if we have some news to announce.”

Nintendo shows how the Toad amiibo functions in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Videos, Wii U | 4 Comments
The upcoming Super Mario line of amiibo, which launches March 20th, brings Toad alongside Mario, Peach, Bowser, Luigi and Yoshi. We’ve known for a while that Captain Toad would have amiibo functionality, and that Toad would be connected, but we never knew HOW it would work. Well, Nintendo just released this quick video to show off what it’s like once you scan in the lovable character.
Those that haven’t had the chance to play Captain Toad yet and are excited for the upcoming Super Mario amiibo line now have more incentive than ever to pick it up. Also noted in the video, Japan has the Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker amiibo bundle now dated for a March 26th release. No word yet on the bundle launching west. You can check out the boxart here
