Medabots Classics official website is now officially open and with it some new information. Here is some info as listed by Gematsu:

Due out on December 21 in Japan in Kabuto and Kuwagata versions, the collection includes the respective versions of the following five titles:

– Medabots (Game Boy, 1997)
– Medabots 2 (Game Boy Color, 1999)
– Medabots 3 (Game Boy Color, 2000)
– Medabots 4 (Game Boy Color, 2001)
– Medabots 5: Susutake Mura no Tenkousei (Game Boy Color, 2001)

Each version will cost 4,800 yen.

A 12,000 yen “20th Anniversary Edition” will also be released.

In total, it will include:

– Medabots Classics: Kabuto Version

– Medabots Classics: Kuwagata Version

– 20th Anniversary Box (Special Packaging)

– Soundtrack – A 20-track, best-of album containing title and Robattle music from all five titles.

– Ultimate Character Book – A 160-page book containing a considerable number of previously unseen artworks from all five games, including illustrations of all 520 Medabots.

In addition to the five classic Medabots games, Medabots Classics will offer the following new features:

– Save and Load Anytime – Save right before a Robattle to try it again. No longer should you worry about being defeated and losing your parts.

– Wireless Multiplayer – Local wireless battles have been implemented for each game. Parts trading is also supported.

– Robattle Skip and Speed Feature – Skip Robattles against small fry enemies or against enemies you cannot defeat. However, while you can earn experience points, your Medal proficiency will not raise, so you cannot use this feature too often. You can also increase the speed of the game.

– Medabot Album – A Medabot Album featuring the parts you obtained in the main story of each game has been added. The full graphic for a Medabot will be unlocked after you obtain all four of its parts.

– Play a New Game with All of the Parts You Obtained – After clearing the main story of a game, you can start a new game with all of the parts you obtained. It may even be possible to use the phantom parts that cannot be obtained in the main story.

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 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.
