Imaginer releases Medarot Card Robot RB for Switch on June 25, 2026, a digital card game that adapts the Medarot robot battle system. The game is the second DCG in the series, following the 2000 Game Boy Color title. It features two versions, Kabuto and Kuwagata, with different starting decks and cards.
The game's cross attack mechanic allows multiple Medarots to combine their power for a single strike, a key strategic element. Players manage energy costs to activate Medarots, with a maximum of 16 energy per turn. The leader Medarot has a barrier that must be destroyed before it can be defeated. The review notes that the game captures the series' world, including the referee's signature line before battles. The game is available in two versions, each with exclusive cards, encouraging trading via local communication.
