Return to the Homestead with Over 200 Kaiju to Discover, Raise, and Train for Epic Battles of Monstrous Proportions.
Leading video game publisher and developer Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. today announced ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2022. The game is an intersection of two renowned franchises – Ultraman, the multimedia icon and pop culture sensation, and Monster Rancher, a beloved game series celebrating its 25th anniversary that lets players rear unique monsters for competition.
In ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER, players take on the role of an up-and-coming rancher to breed, befriend and train Ultra Kaiju for competition. The game features more than 200 kinds of Kaiju from the Ultraman series to collect via the Song Search function to play songs. Kaiju can also be generated using NFC-enabled devices or items such as transport ID cards. Players can also combine or synthesize monsters to create all-new-looking Kaiju. In addition to enjoying unique movements from Ultra Kaiju not typically seen in past works, ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER sets the stage for epic clashes of monstrous proportions reminiscent of classic Ultraman bouts.
