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:

A modern port of Monster Rancher (known as Monster Farm in Japan), which was originally released on the PlayStation in 1997, was recently announced. However, at the time, it wasn’t revealed which platforms would be receiving the port. The newest issue of Nintendo Dream magazine has now revealed that Monster Rancher will be released on the Nintendo Switch eShop sometime this year. The port will be published by Koei Tecmo. Note that so far this release has only been confirmed for Japan. We will keep you updated should a Western release be announced.
