Monster Rancher

Jodie loved playing this on the ps1 many moons ago but i've since been unable to find an update for her for the platform we owned at the time. Does anyone know if there is a version for the DS / PC / Wii / 360? If not a new version then a game which is very similar.

I've just found that site too but on Tecmo's website there is no mention of the Jamboree one which is a bit odd and i can't find any info about where to get hold of it from either.

Same, I did some Googling for it but found no shops with any mention of it. Perhaps it's a future game with no release date yet.

CliffyG · 27-04-2007, 23:06

Any suggestions for an alternative?

It sounds fairly unique unfortunately

I'm surprised no one has made anything similar.
Nearest I can think of, or at least something I would say would be worth a try, is maybe one of the Harvest Moon games, they're available for the Gamecube, GBA and DS. But it's only very roughly similar.

Aye we've tried that. Nothing really comes close though unfortunately. Recently tried Fossil League - Dino Tournament Championship but although combat is fairly similar the rest of the game is rpg based and pretty crap.
