Monster Rancher

Koei Tecmo is releasing a new update for Monster Rancher in Japan, which will bring a bunch of new content for free.

Most notably, there will be more monsters and an added Tournament mode where your monsters can battle without any instruction from breeders. There is also more music data to be added to the game (some of it exclusively for the Switch version) and a battle mode where you can select monsters uploaded from different players. 

The full details have been translated from Koei Tecmo’s press release and are included below, courtesy of Gematsu:

Famitsu hosted a live stream for the re-release of Monster Rancher today and showed off a bunch of footage on Switch. We’ve included the full recording below.

Koei Tecmo has issued a trailer to promote the upcoming release of Monster Rancher on Switch. Get a look at the video below.

Monster rancher has been confirmed for a Switch release date of 12/19/19 in Japan. The game is mostly the same as it was previously. However, instead of obtaining monsters through actual CDs, they’re generated by searching for CD names and artists from a custom database via the network.

You can take a look at the original Tweet after the break.

Monster Rancher may have its Japanese release date – or at least a tentative one. Koei Tecmo opened pages for the mobile version today, and the official App Store listing includes a new November 28 release date. We’ll have to see if that sticks.
