Crashing its way into the Tokyo Game Show 2022, Bandai Namco presented more info about Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher, a rather peculiar spin-off for the monster-raising series. The live stream program disclosed some never-before-seen info on the game before its release for Nintendo Switch on October 22.
Starring as a leading role in the Ultraman Z series, Hikari Kuroki as well as Kanegon, the coin-munching kaiju would join the show playing the game hands-on as well!

▍About Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher
Though sporting an unusual visual spin, the core gameplay in Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher stays very much faithful to its original Monster Rancher form. Manage and tend to their needs while training them so that they would become the champion of the monster battle tournament. Create, raise and battle your very own kaiju to become the very best like no one ever was!
See a completely different side to the typically antagonistic forces of the Ultraman series as they emote and express their feelings just like any critter from the original Monster Rancher series! Aren’t they just adorable?
▍Fuse Kaiju’s Together to Create the Ultimate Lifeform
Though the function was shown previously in a trailer, newly revealed in this live program were some of the many permutations of kaijus you can expect to create when fusing two creatures together. Combine the might of two different monsters to pass down the strengths of both monsters to make crazy combos like a horned Dada, robotic Gan-Qs, and Bemstars covered in eyeballs. Take them to the extreme since there are 200+ combinations possible with a roster of 25 kaijus.
▍Engage in Kaiju Combat with Friends!
The special program at TGS 2022 has revealed that the game will feature local PvP game modes that allow two players to use the two joy-cons on the Switch to duke it out, kaiju-on-kaiju style! Unfortunately for fans anticipating the possibility, no particular information was mentioned about online play.
▍Pre-order Bonuses for Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher
Opting early into the Kaiju breeding enterprise comes with its own perks, as Bandai Namco noted that early purchases of the physical edition or pre-ordering the digital edition nets you these extra items in your inventory upon starting the game. Including Mocchi from Monster Rancher 2, all geared up in the Science Special Search Party uniform straight from Ultraman.
■ Trainable Ultra Kaiju “Science Special Search Party (SSSP) Mocchi”
■ Trainable Ultra Kaiju “Sevenger Giant of Light Skin”
■ Training Item Set (contains 6 different items)
As an added bonus to anyone purchasing the physical copy early, the game will also ship with two original “Ultra Dimension Cards” that can be scanned in through the Switch’s NFC function to summon Gomora-Red King and Eleking Gomora into the game! These “Ultra Dimension Cards” can also be used on the corresponding DX Ultra D Flasher toys and the Ultraman Fusion Fight! Ultra Dimension arcade machines to play as the kaijus.
▍Extra Contents Available Through Related Merch
Finally, the program would also show off its array of merchandise set to launch on its Premium Bandai Store. Their highlight goods are the original T-Shirts that come in two designs. What makes this interesting is that anyone purchasing gets a download code to redeem a special Ultraman colored Windom in-game.
Separately they would also announce that a specially packaged edition of the game would also be released in Japan that will contain extra goodies alongside the physical copy. Listed are A4-sized sticker sets, acrylic diorama sets, and square magnets, all available if they were bought online off Asobi Store, Premium Bandai, or GAMECITY.
