Natsume used to help bring over the Medabots games, but we haven’t seen any titles localized since the Game Boy Advance games. In an interview with Siliconera, Natsume president Hiro Maekawa said that the company doesn’t have “a concrete plan for future Medabots titles”, though he did say that there will be some sort of news about the series this year.

He said:

“At this point, we do not have a concrete plan for future Medabots titles, but we are carefully listening to fans voices and we know the team over there and would love the opportunity to bring a new Medabots game to the U.S. one day. Once again we have spent time, money, and love on that franchise, and we want to see it move forward just as much as our fans do. I know this isn’t the answer Medabots fans wanted, but stay tuned, because there will be some Medabots news in 2015. Keep an eye out!”

Maekawa also commented on Natsume’s relationship with Kemco. The two sides worked together on Alphadia Genesis, which landed on Wii U last year.

“We maintain a very close relationship with Kemco. We work very well with them and they make RPGs that fit so well into our “niche and unique” model. I have always been fond of RPGs and we continue to look for ones that fit with Natsume. Are we working together on a co-developed RPG? We have definitely talked about it! You will be one of the first to know if we have some news to announce.”

Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley’s first wave of downloadable content is out now, and it’s free. The DLC can be obtained right from the game without any hassle.

Natsume has added new outfits and hairstyles with today’s DLC. There are three outfits for the female and male protagonists, including a new Dairy Farmer getup for each. Content can be accessed from a player’s dresser.

In the future, Natsume is planning on adding new items to customize the Lost Valley itself, along with new crops, recipes, and more. The company also teased in its announcement today: “There’s even some whispers that new love is in the air, but whether these rumors are true remain to be seen!”
