Monster Rancher online?

If you can wade through all the moonspeak, http://www.mf-online.jp/ shows what seems to be an online Monster Rancher game. Although a NA release is not yet announced (and it's still called "Monster Farm"), given the game's popularity we can all expect a local release. Finally, truly multiplayer Monster Rancher! You can now literally challenge the world and test the mettle of your beloved monster with other players from all across the globe. Here's to hoping we get it soon.

By the way, when your monster grows fat, it really gets fat this time. Check the pics.
