Medabots 7 came out in Japan close to a year ago – September, specifically. Now that we’re in June of 2013, time is running out for the game’s possible localization.

You can probably write off a western release of Medabots 7 at this point. When the 3DS game was mentioned on Natsume’s Facebook page, the company said that it “doesn’t look like Medabots 7 is in the cards.” Although, Natsume gave a small glimmer of hope for the localization of a future Medabots title by saying: “Hopefully maybe the next one.”

More snippets from EDGE’s Eiji Aonuma have emerged. The latest talk specifically covers Nintendo’s 3DS follow-up to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Speaking with EDGE, Aonuma teased “a big surprise that will shock players” right at the beginning, and confirmed the return of characters from the original game:

“This new title will feature lots of things that are new to the series; right at the start of the game, there’s a big surprise that will shock players. We started out with the new play mechanics, such as Link being able to become a painting and walk along the walls, and then figured out from there how to build a story around them. Rather than forcing elements of the original story into this one, we’ve instead focused on bringing back the characters, so you can see what happened to them after the events of the first game.”

Aonuma also spoke briefly about the inclusion of the Dark World:

“Part of what made A Link To The Past interesting was the way you could move between the Light World and the Dark World and solve puzzles, and we’re planning to bring that back in A Link To The Past 2 for sure. Link’s ability to become a painting will be related to that.”

Eiji Aonuma has been working on Zelda for a very, very long time. He has almost exclusively been involved with the franchise since joining Nintendo. With retirement coming sooner rather than later, Aonuma is thinking about trying “all sorts of new things before it’s too late”.

Aonuma told EDGE this month:

“I’m 50 now, so I only have about ten more years to make games at Nintendo. I want to try all sorts of new things before it’s too late — I don’t want to get to the end of my career and only have worked on Zelda. But every time I come up with some good new ideas, they end up being used in a Zelda game! I need a six-month break to get away from the Zelda cycle and focus on something new [laughs]. But I’d probably end up making a game that is similar to Zelda; after all, A Link to the Past was my biggest influence.”

Project X Zone has two demos. The first was released in Europe on May 23 and in North America this past Tuesday.

A couple of weeks ago, news popped up indicating that the second Project X Zone demo will be heading to the European 3DS eShop on June 27. We reached out to Namco Bandai in hopes of getting a North American date, but didn’t have much luck. Although Namco Bandai was able to confirm that the second demo will be made available in the states, the company didn’t have a date to share at this time.
