Nippon Columbia has announced Ishu Saikyou Ou Zukan: Battle Colosseum for Switch in Japan.
Based on a popular picture book series, Ishu Saikyou Ou Zukan: Battle Colosseum is a game where players can raise and battle various animals, prehistoric creatures, and mythical monsters, and others to determine which is the strongest of them all. The overall concept appears to be similar to Monster Rancher, although perhaps a bit more limited in scope. The game is set to launch on December 15th 2022 for Switch in Japan.

■ About the Saikyou Ou Zukan Series
Saikyou Ou Zukan is a simulation picture book series created with the concept of “who would be the strongest if all of the creatures in the animal kingdom, world of dinosaurs, and so on battled it out in a tournament?” So far, battles have unfolded in the realms of “animals,” “extinct creatures,” “dinosaurs,” “yokai,” “bugs,” “monsters,” and even “underwater” to determine the number one creature. The battles have extended to even “myths” and “dragons,” and the latest book Eiyuu Saikyou Ou Zukan has been a massive hit since its release! The momentum never ends!
