Medabots 8 is coming to the 3DS, this week’s Famitsu confirms. Two versions of the game will be available in Japan on August 28 for 5,800 yen.

According to Famitsu, Medabots 8 will offer renewed visuals for the characters and world in full 3D. Players will be able to trade parts and battle friends online. Famitsu also notes that Medabots 8 has been designed to ease newcomers into the series.

When the game launches, those who purchase an early copy can receive a soundtrack CD as a bonus.

Tecmo Koei and Nintendo are not currently planning a Wii U bundle for Hyrule Warriors in Japan, according to the game’s official Twitter account.

A bundle was ruled out for the time being when one fan asked about the possibility. Instead, the Twitter account advised fans to pick up an alternative bundle with the high-profile title Mario Kart 8 launching in just a matter of days. “Mario Kart 8 comes out next week, so please know it’s important to purchase a bundle early,” the Twitter account wrote.

Hyrule Warriors hits Japan on August 14.

Last month, Nintendo picked up a trademark for something called “Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace”. This was a US filing. Now the same name has been registered in Japan. I wonder if we’ll hear something about this trademark at E3 in a couple of weeks

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
