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.

Imagineer is announcing that the studio is developing its first title for Switch. The studio is known for making the Medabots series and Kanji Test games, and they are also currently planning to release two other titles for portable systems this year.

For the one game Imagineer is developing for Switch, they’re taking after the concept of “can be enjoyed by anyone, anytime, and anywhere”. Various play styles will also be supported.

Imagineer’s mystery title is planned to be released in the next fiscal year (starting April 2018) or beyond.

Imagineer announced today that it will fully absorb Rocket Company on July 1. The Medabots copyright was initially shared between the two sides, but will now be completely held by Imagineer.

The merging decision was made because Imagineer plans to partially reduce its package software business while reconsidering the company’s strategy. They’ve seen growth within the smartphone games market, so they want to make their organization management more efficient and speed up the development of mobile titles.

Of course, Rocket Company published the Medabots games in Japan. We’ll have to see what this means for the series going forward, but hopefully there will still be a presence on Nintendo systems.

Rocket Company, the team behind the Medabots games, has a new 3DS title in the works for Imagineer known as “Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort”. The entire experience is based on a jailbreak attraction featured in the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park, which has players using their wits and cooperate to make it out.

There’s not much information about the actual 3DS game. However, here’s what we know about the real-life attraction:

– In the attraction, players are put in a giant prison
– Different challenges along the way
– Areas are filled with all kinds of doors and rooms
– Over 100 missions
– Stages have hidden clues and gimmicks that must be solved in order to advance
– The main themes behind the Ultimate Fort attraction are maze, problem-solving, cooperation, and stamina
– Since some of the stages can take a while
The puzzles may be a little tough at times, which is why there’s an option for people to retire and leave the attraction
– The 3DS title might not be as lenient for players

Escape Adventure: Ultimate Fort launches in Japan this summer.
