Medabots 7 is very close to launching in Japan. The two versions of the game will be available on September 13.

Since it’ll be out in two weeks, the Medabots 7 website has received an extensive update. You can find new details and screenshots pulled from the site below.

– New combo-based mechanic for the battle system
– Involves using 2 parts at the same time when reaching the attacking line, in exchange for it taking longer to charge/cooldown.
– Medaforce and Medachange are returning
– Medachange: ability to transform
– Footage on the website shows parts from a variety of Medarot games, including Medarot 5, and Medarot G
– Over 700 parts in the game
– 5,700 possible combinations
– Medal raising has changed
– Players will be restricted to the same 3 skills like Medabots DS, but there are now added effects to where a user aims an attack
– Ex: “Speed” still makes the Medabot aim at leg parts first, but also gives it a 1.2x bonus with its charge time
– Ex: “Power” gives a bonus to damage
– Branching medal evolution paths will return from Medarot 5

Nintendo Power has released a public preview of this month’s magazine. Titles featured include Pokemon Black/White 2, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward.

The issue arrives on newsstands on September 4 and has already started to reach subscribers.



After weeks of waiting, the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy finally hit the North American eShop. The download went live on the store just a few hours ago.

All of that waiting may have payed off. It looks like we have our first eShop demo that doesn’t contain a play limit – you can try out the demo as many times as you’d like.

I don’t think this is the same situation with the Japanese/European demo version, but I could be wrong. In any case, let’s hope future demos also forgo play limitations.
