Tamagotchi, Digimon, Pokemon, and other such games are always popular, perhaps because of human instinct.
JRPGs, for example, are also based on the idea that leveling up is a form of training, so perhaps the Japanese love of training games is something that is etched into their DNA.
There are many titles in the nurturing game genre, but the "Monster Rancher" series released by Tecmo (now Koei Tecmo Games) stands out from the rest.
It was a very unique system in which monsters were created by loading music CDs and other discs, and CDs were frequently lent and borrowed at school at the time for the "Monster Rancher" game.
Monster Rancher" was released in 2019, and "Monster Rancher 2" was released in 2020 as a port for iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch, but many fans still wanted to play the "new" version. However, there were many fans who wanted to play the "new" version.
In response to these voices, it was announced that a completely new game will be released in 2022, the 25th anniversary of the release of the first game !
The stage for cultivation is set for smartphones! "LINE: Monster Rancher" announced!

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first "Monster Rancher" game, which was released in 1997. We would like to thank everyone who has loved the "Monster Rancher" series and made this announcement possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The days of raising monsters, laughing at their unique behavior, or being on the edge of your seat when competing against other breeders, will now be available on LINE GAME. Not only the well-known Suezo and Mocchi, but also new monsters original to this game will make their appearance. We hope you will be as excited and thrilled as we were at the moment of the monster's birth, and we look forward to hearing more about it in the future.
