Do you remember Medabots? I know it's difficult, but try to think back as far as 1997, a time when small creatures fighting for your approval was all the rage. Medabots was basically Pokémon, but revolving around robots instead of monsters. I still remember the cartoon show, although I've got no good reason to.
Anyway, the point of all this is that Medabots is making its glorious return, coming to the Nintendo DS with three-on-three battles and 3D graphics. In true to the spirit of ripping off Pokémon, there will be two versions of the game released -- Kabuto Version and Kuwaga Version. Original developer Natsume won't be working on this new title, with Rocket Company instead taking the helm.
I'm like, the only one who remembers Medabots, aren't I?

Yes. Genki-Jam's Aniwednesdays blog wouldn't let us forget. Unless it was on a different blog.... O_o
i'll definitely keep an eye out for this.
The Medabots on DS better have major differences from Custom Robo (right now a personal favorite) because they're kinda alike (miniature robots fighting it out).
IT'S TIME TO ROOOOOOO-BATTLE!
Best. Line. Ever.
