I Played Every MONSTER RANCHER Game to Find the Best One

I played every Monster Rancher game to find the best one, from the original PlayStation game that turned your CDs into monsters to Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher on Nintendo Switch. Along the way, I explored card battles, puzzle platformers, handheld experiments, and a traveling circus. Which game gets the monster-raising formula right, and which experiments deserved another chance? This video covers 14 games, including the Japan-only first Monster Farm DS, with a look at the arcade, online, and mobile branches, plus Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX. What’s your favorite Monster Rancher game? And which CD gave you your most memorable monster?
