Monster Rancher DS returns for another season
We never heard much about Monster Farm DS (or Monster Rancher DS, as it would have been known in the west, had it ever come out over here). We knew about the wacky new yelling-based, touchscreen-based, and GBA-cartridge-based monster creation systems that were added ... and that's about it. For wh...
Monster Rancher makes with the battling
Besides wacky Japanese promotion, the upcoming Monster Rancher DS has a lot going for it. It's got Wi-Fi, so multiplayer enthusiasts have that. Those sadistic psychos who crave the feeling that comes from creating life and forcing it into a life-and-death battle can enjoy that. And you would, you ev...
Monster Rancher DS and some guy in a puffy suit
We may love Monster Rancher like ice cream, but we totally draw the line at donning a huge, unwieldy Mocchi suit. In other words, we don't envy this guy's (gal's?) job one bit, but we still love the idea of a Monster Rancher event. Especially since attendees learned an interesting tidbit of infor...
Monster Rancher DS Japanese box art
It's no secret around here that we love Monster Rancher, but the latest version headed to the DS has us a little wary, and the box art isn't making anything better. Is it just us, or does it seem like this image is striving for more of a Pokémon style? With the shift to RPG, we can't say we'r...
Virtually Overlooked Week: Alisha's picks
Virtually Overlooked has taken over Wii Fanboy! All this week, members of the staff will be outlining their personal picks for future Virtual Console releases. My path through gaming history is very haphazard and filled with missed turns. Somehow, I managed to skip several really amazing titles t...
Preorder Monster Rancher, get a unique monster
Monster Rancher is looking more and more like a fantastic example of the way the unique features of the DS should be used. The latest word is that gamers who preorder a copy of the anniversary game Monster Rancher Jamboree will receive a punch card with a special monster encoded within, much like...
Monster Rancher DS gets the scan treatment
As promised, if the tiniest scraps of Monster Rancher Jamboree information fall from the heavens, we're going to scoop them up and cradle them like tiny baby monsters. You were warned. In keeping with that, here's the latest from Famitsu, showing off plans for the upcoming title, which will celebrat...
Friday Video: Ranching, now with monsters
There's something you guys will figure out in the coming months, so you might as well just accept it now: a certain girl-type blogger around these parts loves Monster Rancher. So get ready for random odes to the art of ranching, like today's featured video. Some people call it an ad. We call it art....
Monster Rancher DS has a surprising developer
We've been keeping a close eye on Monster Rancher DS (or, to use the more exciting! Japanese name, Kaite, Shabette, Hajimeyou! Monster Farm DS). Now we have more reason to be excited, we think. Who has Tecmo "farmed" (heh, heh) the development of this title out to? Cing, for some reason! Cing, who ...
DS Daily: Cartridge rancher
Yesterday we mentioned that Monster Rancher was going to be ranchin' up some monsters on the DS. One of the most notable features of the new version is that it uses GBA games to generate monsters, in the same way that previous Monster Ranchers used CDs, or the Barcode Battler used dog food labels, ...
