Play Medarot Cardrobottle - Kabuto Version (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Medarot Cardrobottle - Kabuto Version is one of those weird little Game Boy Color games that somehow sticks with you. At first glance, it's just another card battler, but the Medabots twist makes it feel different—instead of summoning monsters, you're assembling beetle-themed robots piece by piece. The pixel art has that chunky, colorful charm only late-'90s handhelds could pull off.

I’ll admit, the beetle focus threw me at first (where are the cool swordsman Medabots?), but there’s something satisfying about building a deck around these armored bugs. Battles move fast, and the strategy sneaks up on you—do you go for defense-heavy setups or gamble on quick strikes? It’s got that "just one more match" energy, especially when you’re hunting for rare cards to upgrade your squad.

If you’ve got nostalgia for Medabots or miss the era when card games weren’t all about microtransactions, this one’s a solid time capsule. Just don’t blame me when you start muttering "Robottle!" under your breath.
