Medabots, the beloved franchise known for its mechanical duels and strategic robot customization, is making a grand return to the Nintendo Switch.
Developer Imagineer has officially announced Medabots Card Robattle RB, a new entry in the Medabots universe slated for release in Japan on June 25, 2026.
This title marks a fresh evolution for the series, blending classic elements with modern card game mechanics tailored for the Nintendo Switch ecosystem. Medabots Card Robattle RB will launch in two distinct versions: Kabuto Version and Kuwagata Version.
Fans who select the Kabuto Version will receive a shooting-type deck, while the Kuwagata Version delivers a fighting-type deck focus.
Each variant includes a selection of exclusive cards, although dedicated players can collect them all through the game’s Versus Battle mode. The game promises to harness the unique appeal of Medabots by translating its hallmark tactics—such as combining robot parts, equipping medals, and strategically unleashing the iconic 'Medaforce' move—into a comprehensive card battle experience.
Imagineer has recreated the series’ in-depth customization and strategic depth, providing fans new avenues to explore Robattles with over 400 collectible cards.
This includes not only a roster of popular Medabots, but also numerous Medarotters from the franchise, enriching the card pool and ensuring a robust deck-building experience for both seasoned veterans and newcomers. Players will have access to a variety of play modes.
The single-player 'Robattle Challenge' mode offers battles against diverse 'Medal Card Fighters' across changing terrains like forests and rocky areas, requiring players to adapt both their strategy and their deck.
The 'Robattle Tower' mode presents a gauntlet of consecutive battles with randomized opponents and environments; four towers with increasing difficulty levels, including a challenging Endless mode, will test players’ skills and deck versatility. For multiplayer enthusiasts, Medabots Card Robattle RB features both online and local network battles, enabling duelists to face friends across Japan or nearby via Nintendo Switch’s connectivity features.
To accommodate newer players and younger audiences, Imagineer has included a comprehensive tutorial, ensuring that anyone can jump in and enjoy the fast-paced Robattles regardless of their experience with card games. As of today’s announcement, Medabots Card Robattle RB is confirmed for a Japanese release on June 25, 2026, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
Imagineer has not yet detailed plans for a Western localization.
For now, the upcoming launch represents a significant addition to the Nintendo Switch's expanding library, further cementing Medabots’ ongoing legacy in the competitive card game and strategy genres. Stay tuned for further updates and potential Western release news.
Fans can look forward to more coverage and future Nintendo Switch announcements in the months ahead.
