Monster Finder Uses DSi Camera To Make Monsters

Alphaunit just unveiled Monster Finder, the first DSi exclusive game for Japan. Their title has a Pokemon vibe and a camera gimmick.

Players use the DSi’s camera to take a picture of anything and Monster Finder magically makes a monster from the image. Naturally, these monsters are used to fight. What else do monsters do? Monster Finder has three on three battles where monsters line up in a row. Range is a strategic factor to consider in battle.

There are over 150 monsters to umm… find. Let’s take a look at them!

Curiously, the angel is named Pit, just like the famous star of Kid Icarus. Not sure if Alphaunit or another publisher will change that if Monster Finder goes international. So far, Monster Finder is only for Japan where it’s scheduled to come out in winter 2009.
