Blame Pokemon. And the fact they brought over the anime first, so the games felt completely supplemental. Why do you think they started with the GBA games and not with the Game Boy Color before them despite Pokemon keeping that platform alive well after the fact? Digimon already suffered the same fate, and that was infinitely more popular here than Medabots ever was. Xros Wars has done crap-all to localize anymore Digimon games. Then again, that’s Bamco, and they hate localizing anything that isn’t a fighter.

same here. Used to want a robot as a pay when I was a wee boy. If only this cartoon was out then to at least realize said dream.

…THEY WHAT?!
 
Oh god I haven’t thought about medabots in forever

@apegacine  
Back in the 90s more than half the games are Japanese.
 
How times change…

Unfortunately not localizing the games might be a valid decision.  
since games that were made in japan(unless they are tied to a big enough franchise like pokemon, yu-gi-oh or Final fantasy) are considered kind of a niche demographic thing here in the US.

It’s like they want us to pirate their games.
