Developers aimed for faster-paced matches suitable for modern play while retaining core Medarot elements like parts, medals, and Medachange.
Imaginer released Medarot Card Robottle RB Kabuto / Kuwagata Ver. for Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2026. The game is a full rebuild of the Medarot Robottle system as a digital card game, not a direct follow-up to the 2000 Game Boy title of the same name. Development director Masashi Kato said the team wanted to speed up battles, which he felt were too long for today's players. The developers from Jupiter, Hiroshi Oishi and Takuya Harimoto, focused on keeping the core Robottle mechanics of part swapping and team combat while discarding elements that slowed the pace. Only arm parts became cards, and support robots are represented by single cards. The result is a game that aims to feel like Medarot without the old pacing.
