Teaming up with Cing, TECMO is releasing Monster Rancher DS, their newest addition to the beloved monster breeding series! Filled with nostalgia from past games, fans of the series will recognize popular characters and monsters such as Mocchi and Suezo, the big one‐eyed monster, but there are plenty of new monsters to discover in this game! Generate monsters by drawing pictures in “Magic Field,” or by speaking into the microphone in “Incantation” mode. Use your best strategy to raise, train, and battle
your monsters. Can you become a legendary master breeder?

Features:

• • Use Your Imagination: Recite your favorite word and see what monster is created! Or, if it's too loud to speak, draw a silly picture and see what monster appears. Unlock a secret method of creating monsters as you play through the game! You can even combine your favorite monsters to create a new, more powerful monster!
• • Train to Become a Master Breeder: Find the best strategy to raise your monster on a weekly basis—too much rest or too much of the same training can be ineffective!
• • Bring Out the Rivalry: Not only was the training and management portion of monster breeding brushed up, but there are also many instances to fight rival breeders in the game as well!
• • Play with Friends: Battle your friends locally or online! Friends can also combine their monsters to create exciting new types through a local connection!
• • Battle Rounds: Choose attack techniques to be placed in the “short,” “medium,” and “long” ranges and execute them when there are enough points in the guts meter. If no technique is selected for a range, it becomes a defense panel and evasion skills are improved at that range.
• • Nostalgia: Favorites such as Monolith, Gali, Mocchi, and Suezo rejoin the cast of monsters in what can be called a Monster Rancher series compilation.
