The Medarot (Medabots) franchise has a long, painful history for Western fans. While North American audiences fell in love with the classic anime and the Game Boy Advance RPGs in the early 2000s, the series effectively went dark in the West after that era. Meanwhile, Japan continued to receive stellar 3DS entries, including the highly acclaimed Medarot 8 .
Released in 2014 for the Nintendo 3DS, Medarot 8 (split into Kabuto and Kuwagata versions) was a return to form for the series. It features turn-based robotic battles, deep customization, and a story that serves as a soft reboot, making it a great entry point for new fans.
Partial story translation exists, though some reports suggest it is incomplete or bugged.
