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.
