“Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, Nintendos Pokemon series faced competition from Bandais Digimon and Tecmos Monster Rancher games. Digimon has stuck around all these years, but Monster Rancher hasnt seen a new console release since Monster Rancher DS. Perhaps its time for a comeback, seeing as how Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX has just arrived on Nintendo Switch and Steam,” says Co-Optimus.
