Medarot: Kabuto Version is an role playing game for the Game Boy.

23 years later, here are the first Medabots titles for the Nintendo Gameboy in English.

The translation uses terms closer to the original Japanese, for a more ‘Americanized’ version (using terms from the anime and things like ‘robattle’ and ‘Medabots’), look for the ‘EN-US’ entry.

The IPS files without ‘-portrait’ appended are the original GB game with translations. This can be difficult to follow (it’s just as hard to follow in Japanese), and so the ‘portrait’ versions exist as a special hack the authors have created to include character portraits from the WonderSwan version of the game. We recommend playing the ‘portrait’ edition.

Please feel free to send the authors any bug reports, translation issues, or suggestions via our GitHub repository: https://github.com/Medabots/medarot1/.

NOTE: The version is 0.6.x because the versioning scheme is extremely conservative. The title is fully playable from start to finish but leaves some headroom in case updates are necessary. The versioning is in semver format, ‘x.y.x+txt.n’ where x.y.z is the game (hack) version, and n refers to the text revision for minor edits.

The latest patch files can be found here: https://github.com/Medabots/medarot1/releases/latest but the authors will try to make sure to have any large updates posted on RHDN.
