The last Medabots video game to be released outside of Japan was 2003’s Medabots: Infinity for the Nintendo GameCube. Since then, we saw the release of Shingata Medarot for the Gameboy Advance, and Medarot DS for the Nintendo DS only in Japan. This brings us back to the days prior to the debut of Medabots in 2001, where none of the video games (at that time 5 main games) were released outside of Japan. Medabots AX, Medabots: An RPG Adventure, and Medabots Infinity were published abroad by Natsume . Now, Natsume admitted they were looking over Medabots DS , but ultimately that game stayed in Japan. The latest entry, Medarot 7 for 3DS had the publisher’s attention but seems to have suffered a similar fate

So we’re asking Medafighters from around the world to tell publishers that Medabots still has fans who love the series deeply, and want to see these new games in English. The only way we can tell those in charge that we care is by showing support for the franchise, and telling them directly by posting in these threads/articles:

Siliconera’s post on Medarot 7

Medarot 7 on Natsume’s Forums

Natsume’s Twitter Account

Natsume’s Facebook page

XSEED’s Forums



We’re also encouraging Medabots fans to petition Ghostlight for a release. The publisher has a working relationship with Rocket Company, and if they were to localize the game a North American release would surely happen. So send them an email. If you don’t know what to say we have a stock letter you can use:

Hey guys, I’m a huge Medabots fan and was wondering if it was possible for Ghostlight to pick up Medarot 7 on 3DS. You have experience working with Rocket Company, the publisher behind the game, as your release of Crash City Mayhem demonstrates. Medabots fans the world over have been campaigning for the game’s English release for a long time, and we hope you guys can help us! A localization for the UK would almost certainly solidify a release for other English speaking markets. Thanks for reading!

But digital responses will only get you so far. A physical letter sent via the regular old mail shows a much deeper sign of passion. So if you’d like to write your own (politely worded!) letter to Natsume check out their address here:

Natsume Inc.

1818 Gilbreth Road, Suite 229

Burlingame,CA 94010

If you don’t know what to say we suggest printing out one of our sample letters. You even have the space for your own personal message. Just make sure to print it with the “Fit on Page” printer setting.

We urge all Medafighters to post on the Siliconera article, Natsume’s Forums, Twitter account, and Facebook page. As well, don’t forget to send in those letters. This is the best way to show people care, when they’re willing to put their time behind something. But first, we need to recruit Medafighters from around the world, so please spread the word.
