Monster Hunter x Digimon Virtual Pets: The Ultimate Crossover
This year marks a significant milestone for the Monster Hunter franchise – its 20th anniversary. To celebrate this special occasion, Capcom has announced a unique crossover with none other than Digimon. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of official Monster Hunter merchandise that’s sure to delight fans of both franchises: Monster Hunter-themed Digimon Virtual Pets.
A Match Made in Heaven
The Monster Hunter franchise has always been known for its epic battles against colossal monsters, while Digimon has been entertaining fans with its virtual pets and their digital adventures. This crossover makes perfect sense, given the shared love for fantasy and adventure in both universes.
Meet the Monster Hunter x Digimon Virtual Pets
There are two Virtual Pets available, each featuring iconic Monster Hunter creatures. The red model is based on Rathalos, while the blue model features Zinogre. What’s even more exciting is that each monster has unique variants that combine with classic Digimon, such as RathalosGreymon and ZinoGarurumon. These special forms can be obtained through the pet-raising mini-games and battles included on the device.
Collect and Level Up Over 30 Monsters
These Virtual Pets allow you to collect and level up over 30 other monsters, including familiar faces like Mizutsune, Rajaang, Nargacuga, Tigrex, Gore Magala, and Khezu. The devices feature full-color mini LCD screens, buttons, and speakers, measuring approximately 1.75 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide.
