GBA's Medabots Metabee And Rokusho Now Available On Wii U Virtual Console
Natsume's venture into the world of children's sci-fi (the developer is typically known for game's like Harvest Moon) is now available on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
Originally released in 2002, the game follows Ikki Tenryou as he trains and does battle with his Medabot. The franchise received the typical treatment in Japan with an accompanying manga and anime, but never gained quite the same traction in North America. Much like comparable games, Metabee And Rokusho are similar, but feature small differences in content.
Our Take
I never played this one, but I do remember it being somewhat popular among young players during my video game retail days. It was no Pokémon, but it hit many of the same notes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
