Battle system changes

  • The players now choose which Medarot to target when attacking or using a support action.
  • When attacked, the player can choose which part to defend/evade with, giving them control over which parts are destroyed first.
  • The team's leader Medarot is not revealed until their head part has been damaged.
  • The mechanics for existing attacks/actions have been changed.

Fan-made Medarot contest

A contest for fans to create their own original Medarot (or "Ori-Meda") for Medarot 8 was held prior to the game's release on Niconico Seiga. The contest was open for 2 months and received over 2000 entries. The three grand prize winners, to be added to the game as DLC at a later date, were Haikara-Mate (a schoolgirl type), Kimengar (an oni gargoyle type), and Time Faller (a clock type). There were also 10 runners up who received prizes but did not make it into the game.

As a reward for entering, everyone who submitted a Medarot design also received an in-game password for a downloadable battle music track (Medarot 2's "Strike Enemy") and a Star Medal (otherwise unobtainable).

The password for the star medal and a theme from M2, Strike Enemy - Q5TUDXF0C4D1 and the password for a theme from M3, Beat Up - 4BGQ7WWDDNB3.

Pre-order bonus

Players who pre-ordered the game received a soundtrack CD featuring the new music tracks used in Medarot 8. The two versions received different soundtrack CDs, featuring completely different music tracks and artwork.
