Posted on July 2, 2022 at 4:15 pm by Kiryu under Ultraman

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Monster Rancher franchise, Koei Techmo will be collaborating with Bandai Namco games in order to produce Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher for Nintendo Switch consoles.

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher will be a monster-raising simulator, in which you can take your Kaiju into weekly activities such as training, feeding, studying, and adventuring. There will be a tournament, and battle mode similar to other Monster Rancher titles, and the game will combine the base features of the first Monster Rancher and Monster Rancher 2, in addition, there’ll be a Monster Fusion system where players can take two Kaiju and combine them into something new and unique.

A psychical version of the game will be available in South-East Asia regions and translated into English, though, for those not keen on importing, the game will also be available digitally in the Nintendo eShop in North America. The game was slated for a release window of 2022, though no exact date was given at the time of this writing.

UltraArts 100 Revealed – S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraman!

Posted on January 21, 2022 at 9:28 am by ZeoRangerV under Ultraman

The official Bandai Tamashii Nations website has been counting down to the milestone of 100 releases since the Ultra Series joined the S.H. Figuarts line, and thanks to the latest batch of magazine leaks we can see that the 100th figure will be none other than an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ultraman!

Much like the premium treatment Ultraman Tiga received last year, the original 1966 Ultra hero will arrive as part of Bandai’s “true bone carving” line. While the release date, price and materials used on the figure are still unconfirmed, we can see from the images that this Ultraman will come packaged with multiple hands as well as his Specium Beam and Ultra Slash attack effect parts!

We’ll bring you more information on this release as it comes!

TokuSHOUTSu Announces First Ultraman Streaming Programs

Posted on October 27, 2020 at 7:08 pm by Paladin under Ultraman

The Shout! Factory digital platform TokuShoutSu has announced the first entries from the Ultraman franchise joining their streaming service!

Details from the press release are as follows-

Los Angeles – October 27, 2020 – Following an exclusive North American streaming acquisition from Mill Creek Entertainment and Indigo Entertainment earlier this year, Shout! Factory TV will release its first collection of films and series from Tsuburaya Productions’ iconic Ultraman library November 1 on both Shout! Factory TV platforms and Shout’s Tokusatsu channel TokuSHOUTsu™, available on Pluto TV.

The first offering from the beloved and renowned library will include five complete television series and two films spanning over 50 years of historic fandom, from the first of the Ultraman series, 1966’s Ultra Q, to the 2018 Ultraman Geed film. The full offering launching November 1 includes series Ultra Q, Ultraman, Ultraseven, Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Geed alongside films Ultraman Orb The Movie: Let Me Borrow the Power of Bonds! and Ultraman Geed The Movie: Connect the Wishes!

Classic Ultraman series Ultra Q, Ultraman and Ultraseven will also premiere on Shout! Factory TV and TokuSHOUTsu in high definition, newly available for Shout! Factory’s expanding streaming audience.

All Ultraman content will be available for streaming on demand across Shout! Factory TV platforms, on ShoutFactoryTV.com; Shout! Factory TV’s Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and Android apps; and on various Shout! Factory TV branded channels including Tubi, Amazon Prime Channels, and the Roku Channel.

Ultraman content can also be seen on TokuSHOUTsu, a linear channel (#848), in the Gaming + Anime section of Pluto TV. Pluto TV can be found on all leading digital streaming devices and services, including Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, Google Chromecast and more, as well as major smart TVs and game consoles.

The classic Ultraman live-action television series of the 1960s and 70s, produced by Tsuburaya Productions, established new heights of quality adventure and special effects-driven entertainment and built a worldwide audience for the property. The popularity of Ultraman—and the aliens and monsters—has enabled the series to persist to this day, generating over $50 million per year in toys and merchandise in Japan.
Shout! Factory TV plans a continued aggressive rollout of Ultraman properties on its channels in forthcoming months.

One day the trio is on the tail of an unidentified mysterious animal suspected of causing strange meteorological activity.

Jugglus aids her for reasons of his own, while the evil Troops of Aliens of the Planetary Invasion Syndicate lurk sinisterly… Can Ultraman Orb rescue the New Generation Ultra Heroes and defeat Murnau who is aiming to turn the Earth into her own jewels? The battle to determine the future of the Earth now begins!
