With the belated return of the Monster Rancher franchise with Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX, we now see a collaborative effort between KOEI Tecmo and Bandai Namco. Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher – as the name suggests – is a Monster Raising sim where you bring up cute little destructive monsters such as Godzilla, Gamura and more.

The game is out now worldwide, and can be picked up digitally on the Nintendo eShop. For physical hunters out there, you can order the Asian version of the game through Play-Asia which offers English localisation options.

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher is a brand-new collaboration between Ultraman, a famous Japanese Tokusatsu work, and Monster Rancher, a popular role-playing simulation series. This new game introduces iconic Ultra Kaiju such as Alien Baltan, Zetton, and Gomora to the popular gameplay mechanics of raising and battling monsters from the Monster Rancher game.
