King of the Monsters

Developer: SNK

King of the Monsters pits giant kaiju against each other in frantic, arena-style brawls across destructible cityscapes. Players select monstrous fighters with unique moves and special attacks, trading wrestling-style grabs and platforming leaps in timed matches that blend beat 'em up muscle with arcade scoring. The Genesis port preserves fast-paced, chaotic action with local two-player versus, towering boss encounters, and stages that crumble underfoot — a nostalgic, spectacle-driven romp. Rough around the edges but full of personality, it’s a rumbly retro brawler that rewards timing, stage control, and a taste for big-screen destruction.
