Ultra Kaiju Monster Farm Announced for Switch During Japan Nintendo Direct Mini

During the Japanese Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase today, it was announced that Ultra Kaiju Monster Farm is coming to the Nintendo Switch and releasing later this year in Japan. No word on whether this will release in other regions.

Check out the trailer:

Ultra Kaiju Monster Farm is a crossover of the Ultraman series and Koei Tecmo’s Monster Farm franchise, otherwise known as Monster Rancher. In the game, players can raise, fuse, and battle monsters. They will make their own massive farm and build it with the help of various Kaiju monsters from the Ultraman series. Kaiju can be trained to improve their stats, and there are other elements like having them race rivals, building Ultra-size snow sculptures, and sparring.

It’s also possible to recruit new Kaiju by putting random media into the game, though it’s done digitally since Switch doesn’t have a disc drive to take music CDs. The game allows you to search pieces of music by title or artist to generate new Kaiju. IC “smart” cards used in transit systems (like Suica or Icoca) are also supported, along with the NFC chips in smartphones.
