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.”

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Spin the Bottle doesn’t have a set price yet, but it will be “cheap-ish”. KnapNok’s creative director Lau Korsgaard recently said that the game’s cost will rise as more content is added.

Two updates are coming in 2013. With the release of each, Spin the Bottle’s price will rise “a bit.”

We are planning to use something different than other eShop games. We will release cheap-ish but increase the price of the game as we develop more content. If you buy early you will get all future updates for free. Our plan is to release two more updates in 2013 – each time raising the price a bit.
We want reward the early adopters of the Wii U while still being able to earn money on the long run.

When will Spin the Bottle be available, you ask? Early July is currently targeted.
