Some additional information about Medabots Classics has been revealed in this week’s edition of Famitsu.

Firstly, development is stated to have been exactly 78% complete.

There are postgame bonuses for completing the main stories, such as being able to replay the game with every part unlocked and even gaining access to phantom parts that were never available before. There is something called a “Meda-Album” which functions something like a Pokedex, compiling all the parts you obtained in the main stories. You can save and load at any time, and you can skip pesky low-level battles (or high-level ones) using a “Force Robobattle Skip” feature. Wireless local multiplayer has been included for battles and trading.

Medabot Classics versions Kabuto and Kuwagata will release in Japan for 3DS on December 21st, 2017.

The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed a new entry in the Sumikko Gurashi series. Titled Sumikko Gurashi: Sumikko Park e Youkoso, this party game will be released on the Switch on December 7th. As with past entries in the series, a localization seems extremely unlikely, but with the Switch being region-free, you’ll at least be able to easily grab the Japanese version.

The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed a new 3DS game: Medabots Classics, a collection of the first five Medabots games, which were initially released on the Game Boy (Medabots 1) and the Game Boy Color (Medabots 2 – 5). The games will receive some upgrades and new features, though we don’t know the extent of those yet.

Like some recent games in the series, Medabots Classics will be released as two separate versions, Kabuto and Kuwagata. There is also going to be a special limited edition with a CD and an illustration book.

We don’t know for sure yet, but a Western release of this collection seems fairly unlikely. Still, we’ll keep you updated should any news come out.
