Koei Tecmo Games have announced that the remake of Monster Rancher will launch for Nintendo Switch on December 19.

It will be priced at ¥1,960. A reminder that it will have two player battles on one system via the joycons.

The game will be coming to iOS and Android a bit earlier however, as there it will be coming on November 28.

For those wondering how the CD mechanic is handled in this remake, Monsters are now generated by searching for CD names through a custom database on the network.

Hopefully a western release follows soon.
