/vr/ - Retro Games

Anyone on /vr/ into Medarot (aka Medabots)?

It's Pokemon meets Armored Core in that you customize your own mechs and then fight for different parts (instead of kidnapping mammals). Contains one of the best turn-based combat systems featured in any RPG (in my opinion).

Unfortunately most of the games are JP-only (most as in ALL of them, except for a remake of Medarot 2 for the GBA, and two unrelated really mediocre action games that are nothing like the main RPG series, one on GBA and the other one on the Gamecube, respectively). I'm disappointed that there isn't much interest in them outside of Japan to warrant localization for the new games or heck, even translation projects for the older games (the translation for the first GB game is 70% complete by this moment though, luckily). Most people know Medabots for the anime series and aren't even aware that there are games out there.

Anyway Medarot general. Tell if you're a Kabuto or Kuwagata kind of guy. People with moonspeak knowledge and people who've played Medabots on the GBA share your favs and mains (the GBA game is a remake of the second game for the Gameboy and should technically be retro, unless the rules have changed since the last time I've been here).
