Monster Rancher has made a return!, in a sense.
“MR1&2DX” a “Remaster” is on Steam, Switch, and iOS. This came out in 2021. (It’s mostly the same game, just with a searchable CD Database/Song List instead of physical media, upscaling, both JP and English monsters in the same game, Enemy monsters raisable, extra freezer slots, fast forward, instant loads etc. a bunch of QoL stuff).
Also there’s Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher (This one is on Switch only) that came out in 2022… a Crossover franchise of raising Ultraman Kaiju that plays like a mix of both MR1 and MR2
And LINE: Monster Farm, came out in 2023. A JP only gacha game, though there’s some hopium that it will be released in the west eventually.
There’s a huge Monster Rancher community and Discord that even holds public tournaments with varying formats and stat-cap limits. It’s a lot of fun!
