We may love Monster Rancher like ice cream, but we totally draw the line at donning a huge, unwieldy Mocchi suit. In other words, we don't envy this guy's (gal's?) job one bit, but we still love the idea of a Monster Rancher event. Especially since attendees learned an interesting tidbit of information -- when the shop that hosted the event's name was spoken into the DS, the sounds produced a special monster. Considering preorder copies also come with a unique monster, Tecmo is starting gamers out right with the franchise's latest version. We'll have to give the phrase GAMES Maya a go when we pick up the localized version ... just in case.
The event also featured quality time with the Mocchi-suited mascot and a quiz about the Monster Rancher series, as well as a chance to try out the new monster creation features. Sounds like a good time was had by all! For those of you lucky enough to be around a Japanese download station, you can snag a Monster Rancher demo right now, as well.

I heard about the Monster Rancher series from a tips book my dad got me for the SNES. I had Sega Genesis... Anyway I read through it several times for different games I wished I could play like Super Mario World, man I wish it wasn't discarded long ago, Final Fantasy II(IV), SimCity, Popolous, Ultraman, Castlevania IV, and Monster Rancher. First one I could get... But FFIII, Custom Robo Arena, Pokemon, and Phantom Hourglass can delay me.

I'm pretty sure the series didn't even start until the PS1, hvnlysoldr. Maybe you're thinking of the very lame "Monster In My Pocket?" (Not to be confused with the Pokemon kind of Pocket Monsters.)

I got it now. I had an NES book I never read, an SNES book I miss, and a book for PSX. Still this would be the first I'm interested in.
