Item Condition
Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact item. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.
Item Description
Here is the twist that catches Neo Geo fans off guard: the Genesis King of the Monsters 2 is not the arcade game shrunk down. SNK's 1992 original was a side-scrolling rampage through seven stages, but Takara's 1994 Genesis version, developed by Betop, rebuilt the whole thing as a one-on-one monster fighting game, and in doing so it turned the arcade's bosses into a playable roster.
That means you are not limited to the three heroes. Super Geon, the first game's Geon mutated into something far more dragon-like, the cyborg ape Cyber Woo and the costumed giant Atomic Guy are joined by the arcade's boss creatures, including Huge Frogger, Clawhead, Beetle Master, Aqua Slug and Lavicus, with only the final boss Famardy held back. Every monster has special attacks performed with standard fighting-game motions, so the kaiju wrestling of the arcade becomes something closer to the head-to-head fighters that were packing arcades in the wake of Street Fighter II, with grapples, fire breath and energy blasts in the mix.
In single-player you work through the other monsters one by one before facing a clone of your own creature, and the battlegrounds include three Japanese cities added for this version, Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka, which is exactly where giant monsters belong. A second player can jump in for versus matches, which is where a game about city-sized brawlers throwing each other through buildings makes the most sense.
Reviews were mixed at the time, with Electronic Gaming Monthly the most generous at 39 out of 50, and the cartridge was released only in North America. Those quirks are what make it interesting now. It is a Genesis-specific reinvention of an SNK arcade property, a monster-movie fighting game whose cast you cannot play in quite this form anywhere else, and a natural pick for anyone who wants their kaiju battles head-to-head on the couch.
