Welcome to Famicompendium – a new regular (or at least semi-regular) column where I’ll be taking a look back at the best and worst the world of import gaming has to offer. From the Famicom to the Wii, I’ll be exploring some of the most fascinating titles to never be officially released in English.

I thought I’d start the column off with an adorable, charming and brutally difficult platformer from the 90s.

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.”
