伝説の育成ゲーム『Monster Rancher』Nintendo Switch/iOS/Androidで配信!

Monster Rancher" is a PlayStation simulation game released by Tecmo (now Koei Tecmo Games) in 1997.
The game's unique system, which required players to load a music CD in order to create a monster, attracted a lot of attention, and even at my school, I was asked to lend a CD to a classmate who did not seem to be interested in music.
The objective of the game is to create more powerful monsters and conquer the four major tournaments by training, fighting, and merging monsters to create new monsters.
Since the first game, new titles have been released on various hardware such as PS2, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS, but this is the first game to be ported.

How did you get the monsters?

There may be CDs in the database that you couldn't get back then.
