[@jeffzebert4982]

The monsters' theme songs have NAMES! And here they are: Woo (the kong) -- Prayer of Madness Poison Ghost -- Wet Dance Rocky -- Pyramid Power Beetle Mania -- Like a Beetle Geon -- Entirely Breaker Astro Guy -- Ugly Hero

[@Stovetopcookie]

I didnt know this version existed. I had the snes version. Only four cities. Day and night theme. This is like a whole different game.

[@sadlobster1]

It was an old game show on Nick, during the 90's. It involved kids getting points from high scores in games like this one. There was also a virtual portion of the game, where the kids would enter a room and actually be a character in a video game simulation

[@jasonharris3502]

You mean Nick Arcade?

[@modeux]

I used to play this game all the time at Round Table Pizza circa 1992. So many memories! I especially liked the music/sounds.

[@jtblcksheep3376]

The sprite animators must’ve had a field day with this game. That Kobe level at 7:16 is insanely detailed, especially the amusement park.

[@DrErikNefarious]

The survivor is "monster name here". There is no way to stop this monster, what should we do? "Monster name here" is devastating all of Tokyo,it's a matter of time before they'll attacks this radio station....

[@kenlab77]

They really need to do a next gen remake of this game

[@DotsHouseofShenanigans]

I think War of the Monsters was as close as we'll get to this ever coming out again. :( But one can dream!

[@marioghernandez4960]

Dot's House of Shenanigans War of the Monsters was amazing

[@Ashkihyena]

kenlab77 Perferably not as annoying cause holy fucking shit this game cheats.

[@ghttrb702]

You got King of monsters 2

[@drxeno5678]

aye its on ps4 and xbox which means it can be on ps5 and xbox series x digitally

[@qupperhead]

I FOUND IT!!!! I FOUND IT!!!! HOURS AND HOURS HAVE I BEEN PLAYING THIS IN THE ARCADE HALL

[@Vikashar]

I need to fart!

[@bluespaceman7937]

Very cool game.

[@limeninelemonfour6957]

Godzilla with wrestling

[@kendrickcooper1794]

Exactly with mediocre moves

[@Garymay77]

Woo-king Kong Geon-Godzilla Poison ghost-hedorah Beetle mania- megalon Rocky- living rock statue Astro man-jet jaguar

[@anthonyp8810]

This video game was very popular on Nick Arcade.

[@TheJesterGuy_]

Ah, King of The Monsters. One charming game which makes my xenophilic senses tingle.

[@taylorsnyderutube]

Professional Wrestling at its finest.

[@Hexed4Life]

I remember this game always being on Nick Arcade and always being pissed at the kids on the show because they would 9 out of 10 time NEVER pick it to play.

[@blind_t2]

Hexed4Life same way I found out about this classic. Aside from this game, I really thought they should have added more of the NG lineup. Games like metal slug, baseball stars II, 3 count bout, wind jammers among others.

[@user-pi2pw2nt7k]

6体の怪獣を選択して、各ステ―ジの怪獣を倒してクリアする。これが初代キング・オブ・ザ・モンスターズの特徴ですね。ちなみに気になるのは、西日本地区の各ステ―ジが多い。特に大阪、京都、神戸の近畿三大主要都市が闘争の場に選ばれた事。バトルフィールド内では、相手に攻撃されて電流ゾ―ンに触れて倒れたり、体当たりでダブルノックアウトしたりなど、醍醐味のある戦いでした。モ―デン軍の戦闘機や戦車、メタルスラッグ等の武装では怪獣を相手に太刀打ち出来るかわかりませんが、もしもモ―デンがギ―スやクラウザーやゼウス同様、裏で怪獣の力を利用して世界の権力を握る可能性があるんじゃないかな？

[@spiritchild9101]

SNK added this and many other classics to the Apple App Store.

[@jtblcksheep3376]

I wish SNK would add this game’s OST to their music channel.

[@Rexodiak]

this game opens up with godzilla v king kong and now 25 years later we're all discussing about it lol

[@88nguyenquangbach91]

war of monsters also open up w godzilla vs kong as well

[@tuxedotservo]

The last time I played this game - in college, way back when - I beat the game on one quarter. Took about an hour, IIRC. One of the matches against double opponents the clock was at 1 second left when I got the 3 count. My score was... ~800K +? Something like that. The key was beating the hell out of the monsters as quick as possible, then running around destroying everything for radiation bonuses and stuff. Once you've destroyed what you can, then pin them. There was a bit of a cheat... if you knocked an enemy down, you could predict which way they'd roll before getting up. If they were above the midpoint of the screen, they'd roll down; if below the midpoint, they'd roll up. It allowed you to be waiting for the monster just when it is getting up - and unable to counter a lunge attack. Arcades were such a fun getaway.

[@isaacwalker9362]

That ending was dark!

[@akai1518]

you havnt seen astro guy

[@BackwardsMan]

@Valis77 I miss Nick Arcade. It was the best show ever back then.

[@Kaiser565]

Use to play this at the arcade alot when I was little. Never beat it on one quarter though. Good memories.

[@andresr.viguera9791]

"Destraction", "DESTRACTION!"

[@ladyfire44]

It's supposed to be destruction.

[@andresr.viguera9791]

@@ladyfire44 No sh*t, Sherlock!

[@Onijsan]

I could never get further than the 3rd level on 1 quarter.. it was to much for me as a kid lol.

[@Orbot]

Ah yes, the good ole days of gaming! I'd play this religiously at a local pizzeria not too far from where I used to live! I wouldn't mind a this gen makeover of this....I know we have those Godzilla fighting games out, but I want a new version of THIS!

[@ReverendSyn]

In Tokyo, the lights in one of the towers will spell out "Neo-Geo"

[@lautarogomez9711]

Godzilla: I AM THE TRUE KING OF THE MONSTERS!!. WHO ARE THESE IMPOSTORS!?

[@ralphcifaretto1]

I finally found this game from my childhood, at last

[@ChrisCa1601]

This game is now part of the Arcade Archives series.

[@journeyburney]

I’ve never heard of this, what is it?

[@ChrisCa1601]

@@journeyburney It's a fighting game. You can choose between several kaiju, then beat each other up while destroying the town you're in. The goal is to pin your opponent to move on to the next round.

[@journeyburney]

@@ChrisCa1601 Oh, thanks for the recap of the game. I have played it a lot myself, so I was asking about the Arcade Archive series you mentioned 😅

[@ChrisCa1601]

@@journeyburney Arcade Archives is just a brand. A lot of arcade games, mostly SNK games, are part of it.

[@KokoandFooFoo]

I just noticed that the wrestling animations are identical to WWF Superstars/Wrestlefest games. Did SNK just copy their coding or vice versa?

[@lskyrocker1]

yep hahah

[@Philip_Lim]

Played this with my brother long ago! Such good times

[@NaeroK87]

This was my go to while my parents were grocery shopping at giant eagle

[@henriquedearruda8902]

This game has a very disturbing ending, it is actually very scary I would call this a horror game

[@themaicky3209]

Some bizarre version of king of fighters with metal slug-like animation

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

one of the video challenges on Nick arcade.

[@h0m3st4r]

Okay. I think I've got this. Godzilla, Kong, Sandman, Daimajin, Megalon, Ultraman

[@BackwardsMan]

@Wheeloffortunefan999 It was a great game show on Nickelodeon back in the 90s(?). Contestants come on to the show to answer questions and play video games. For prizes, of course.

[@rock_ok]

i can so feel the pacific rim vibes on this game

[@ilikepieguy11]

poison ghost was always my favorite, his slide kick move helps out alot

[@jesusislord7632]

+Nick Scribner hi

[@ilikepieguy11]

hey Jesus, hows heaven?

[@christopherjordan6235]

He is similar to Hedorah!!!

[@luisanunes4365]

My favorite character too

[@suniface71]

Japan makes the coolest stuff.

[@dabrutalstalker9546]

The real King of The monsters is godzilla

[@perio12345]

I guess.

[@ReverendSyn]

Everything explodes. Even the foliage.

[@aaronp2542]

This used to scare the crap out of me as a kid lol..

[@pokemon200016]

I love how the first stage music sounds a lot like some of the soundtrack in Godzilla vs King Kong.

[@lionheartodd]

those were the good ol days

[@K0ntakt5]

this looked better than it played (never really was a fan of the SNK arcade games). but at least in their other games, i knew how to play them and i knew why i lost lives or whatever. in the king of the monsters I and II, it seems as though the player has very little control over the outcome of the moves- when you grapple, it doesn't seem to matter how hard or fast or furious to mash the buttons, the outcomes are pre-determined. i never could figure out what the deciding factor was in each grapple/move/throw etc.

[@Foodadventurewithsalma]

Wow my childhood was amazing 👏 😍

[@luisanunes4365]

Wich character did you most played at this game?

[@user-bs8nj2di9u]

264K Views?! That's awesome! This game deserves more attention! 🎉

[@Stovetopcookie]

I don’t get those red barriers. If the humans could wall the monsters in why didn’t they just build a 1000 square foot box around them?

[@sultaa86]

the version i had you could only play as this godzilla looking one with the horn, the stone guy like the one from the fantastic four, the giant human in a costume^^ and the ant monster with the elepant nose

[@initra25]

1992…. I played it at Peter Piper Pizza.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Nick Arcade 1992

[@Kerannnng]

Woo = King Kong Geon = Godzilla Astro Man = Jet Jaguar Poison Ghost = Hedorah Beetle Mania = Megalon Rocky = ????

[@Kerannnng]

Rocky resembles Daimajin the most. Done my kaiju research

[@animeerickmii2398]

Woo = King Kong Geon = Godzilla Astroman = Ultraman Poison Ghost = Hedorah Beetle Mania = Megalon Rocky = Golems Aaaand Thats All. :/

[@animeerickmii2398]

Now On The Sequel, Geon Will Be Super Geon, Woo Will Be Cyber Woo, And Astroman Will Be Atomic Guy!

[@animeerickmii2398]

poison ghost,beetle mania and rocky will not gonna be in the sequel sorry ;(

[@marioghernandez4960]

AnimeErickMii Why aren't they in the sequel anyway? Did they die?

[@Gaddesreinhart]

lol I like the Japanese news caster with the English accent.

[@Kaiser565]

Same here... And thats what got me into playing it. I was like 7... haha

[@kellenloop929]

I wish there could be a copy of this long play of King of the monsters. This time player one should be the rock monster (Rocky).

[@marceloho1984]

Marvelous BGM.

[@victor_silva6142]

Aye the soundtrack is amazing!

[@Stovetopcookie]

12:00 he blew up a building on the outside. Couldn’t do that in snes version

[@ChickMagnetGod3]

@Dragonology04 Word. That guy is awesome. I find using his special attacks easier than the other monsters.

[@JDaMac815]

Where can i find the required things for this?

[@JanusHoW]

I remember this from an old show called Nick Arcade.

[@user-bs8nj2di9u]

Geon's Theme Song: He is approaching Tokyo Go! Geon! (x2) His fire can melt the mightiest of mountains Geon! His appetite is unmatched, so run away Go, go, Geon! He is capable of crushing entire armies Geon! He is not afraid of battle, so stay away Go, go, Geon! Geon, Geon, you are very strong Geon, Geon, hear our song, Geon, Geon, you will win Fight every enemy until the end Geon will win! (x4) Geon has won, the battle was long Listen again to the Geon song! (x2)

[@titantrongod]

My childhood game 😂

[@12ock]

i was like 6yearsold and i still remember this but i really dont know the title

[@ZetsubouGintama]

New Godzilla vs Kong looking good...

[@-Siculus-Hort-]

Beetle Mania was muh character.

[@Shendu1010]

That game look hard to do.

[@jonatanyosoy]

Great Game! Classic

[@Guywithair2]

@TheGhostlord Yeah haha my friends and I back in the day were like hmm... destruction?

[@duedecimal6622]

i wonder who's counting 1 2 3

[@tr8adic2]

17:47 Golden godzilla O Ghidorah?

[@ChickMagnetGod3]

@TheGhostlord Yeah they probably meant destruction. It's orginally in Japanese but I guess when they translated it, they messed up.

[@darrenclements6028]

King of the Monsters is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and STUNNINGLY AMAZING, shatter all expectations

[@gojilawrence489]

to stop the monsters

[@edmega332]

Yes! I used to be good at this game. It was an annoying game to beat though. I remember playing around the age of 10 or 11

[@lynk172]

0:12 find the hidden face

[@humanarychaospowerb.l27]

What hidden face?

[@jelle3336]

Why do i remeber this in 3D with running..

[@bertotaker]

I always desire this type of game on the Godzilla's NES and SNES games finally made it on 2002

[@cesargaray6137]

With GDAMM right?

[@hitchman84]

I'd be great to see a third installment. Yeah... not likely.

[@Hansbrenman]

SNK is still around, they released King of Fighters XIII 3 years ago, and they're making plans on King of Fighters XIV, and a new Samurai Shodown (Both 3D graphics, but I'm sure they're gonna stick with traditional 2D gameplay, as the last 3D Samurai Shodown had terrible reception from fans and critics)

[@VRichardsn]

There is a building that looks like a nuclear power plant by the shore o:O

[@robertcummings1971]

Rocky could be one moai from Easter Island, that's what i think.

[@rashuneknight3939]

So this game is like a wrestling version of Rampage

[@varan1231]

Awesome!!!

[@reonfraser7528]

i hope they remake this on a next gen console

[@suniface71]

If i makeca spiritual successor to this im doing a combination of it mixed with mortal kombat & godzilla movies. Half the fun of being a giant monster is breaking things and eating the military.

[@notkimpine]

godzilla tournament fighter in a nutshell

My favorite characters from best to least:1) Geon2) Rocky3) Astro Man4) Beetle Mania

[@Scottyboy2317]

What does the colour changing do, is it more health?

[@luisanunes4365]

Yes

[@walterpetersen776]

or get the snk arcade classics collection for either ps2 or wii download the psp version off the psn

[@SagaSagaVGM]

Godzilla Domination? GBA game, it's pretty much King of the Monsters except with smaller sprites.

[@paoloretrogamer]

With 1 King Of The Monsters 2 Stage.

[@Mechagodzillareturns56]

Title: king of the monsters I wonder why toho didn’t sue the company who made this game.

[@TKBOMBER666]

the beetle dude was the man hahaha

[@jameseagle6587]

We need king of the monsters in gigabash

[@tims4502]

Awfully nice of people in the waterfront district to put up a retaining forcefield. Sure they take a lot more “destrAction” there but they keep the downtown area suburbs safe

[@Kentaro21]
