Medabots DS is still happening, here's some concept art photo

We haven't heard about Medabots DS since last September, but a small update has recently surfaced in the form of some funky new concept art. The doodles show off the character Kabuto, and feature a range of quirky designs for the yellow robot. Kabuto will be the eponymous character in one of two versions of Medabots.

The two versions are Kabuto and Kuwaga. We're not sure what the difference between the two games will be, but we're sure it'll work exactly like Pokemon. Either way, Medabots DS will feature three-on-three battles and full 3D graphics. Hopefully developer Rocket Company can give we nostalgic folk a nice little game. 

The announcement of this game brought a surprising about of Dtoid readers out of the woodwork and I was legitimately surprised that people were as excited as me for the game. At least I won't be short of opponents when this game finally releases.

They should totally steal Custom Robo Arena DS's gameplay for this. CRA is hands-down the most fun DS game for my money.

Generally the difference between two versions in Medabots games is a different starter Medabot and different parts obtainable in each game.

I love this, I really can't wait. :3

DO WANT!

Also, I know this has nothing to do with this article, but thinking of Medabots reminds me of my favorite saturday morning cartoon from back in the day...

The GBA game had your starter medabot be different and bosses having different medabots themselves. One of them ended up being a lot harder than the other though.

Oh lordy, I'm importing this as soon as I can. I always loved Medabots, it was kind of like Pokémon, only with little robots that blew shit up with guns and missiles.

"Custom Robo". It's as close as I've gotten to this. I expect this to be better.

@ wanderingpixel : Tamers was a pretty good season of digimon... would have been the best if they would have killed Jeri off early in the series. TO much emo bullshit.

One of these games better be Kingdom Hearts 3, they have been wasting too much time on Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts spin offs, last time a true Kingdom Hearts game was released was in like 2005.
