Leading video game publisher and developer Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. today announced ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER is now available for Nintendo Switch as a digital download. 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 collect unique monsters and train them for competition.

In ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER, players take on the role of an up-and-coming rancher to raise, befriend and train Ultra Kaiju for competition. The game features more than 200 kinds of Kaiju including combination variations to collect. Kaiju can be generated using Keywords or NFC-enabled devices*. 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.
*One of the Kaiju regeneration functions has been changed – the “Search for music” function won’t be implemented in the North and South America versions.
“We can’t wait for fans of both beloved franchises to discover, raise, and befriend their very own Kaiju in ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER,” said Kentaro Matano, Producer at Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. “By combining Monster Rancher’s iconic gameplay cultivated over the past 25 years, and Ultraman’s host of epic Ultra Kaiju, the development team has created the ultimate crossover title for avid monster-fanatics of all ages!”
