Medarot 9 – Kuwagata Version

Medarot 9 – Kuwagata Version is a RPG game developed and published by Rocket Company for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on December 24, 2015. The game features a new cast of characters and nearly 300 Medarots to collect. Like previous games, it was released in Kabuto and Kuwagata versions, however, this time the player begins with new starter Medarots, Jhuk and Monjiro, rather than Metabee and Rokusho, who are villains in this installment.

The story follows a new protagonist named Tenma Wakakoma, who transfers into an elite school known as MEDA Academy, and his adventures with Kunigiku and the Exploration Club. Upon entering the school, he gets his starter Medarot, who will actively disobey the player’s commands until the first boss, Beast Duster. The battle system has undergone several major changes in Medarot 9: There is now a new feature called Trans-Parts, which lets the player transfer a part mid-battle.

However, it is only limited to the Leader Medarot and can only be done once per battle. There is a new attribute known as Heavy Parts, which have great power but sharply lower the user’s speed. The game now has Party Members, the player can have up to five, each with one Tinpet. Allies in battle can now be controlled by the player. The player can now choose which part to take from the opponent after winning a Robottle.
