Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System published exclusively in North America by Toho in 1992. It was the second game based on the Godzilla franchise to be released for a Nintendo home console, following 1988's Godzilla: Monster of Monsters; and the third overall game to be released on a Nintendo platform, after the 1990 handheld game for Game Boy.

The player controls military forces trying to prevent Godzilla and other giant monsters such as Mothra, Hedorah, Rodan, Baragon and King Ghidorah.

Plot

[edit]
Start of the first scenario.

Japan is being ravaged by bizarre and powerful giant monsters, and worse still, a fleet of alien saucers have arrived to begin an invasion of Earth. It's up to the Allied Defense Forces and their technology to put an end to both crises and save Japan.

Monsters

[edit]
  • Godzilla: The titular and most common monster, and one of the most powerful. If Godzilla seeks out an H-Bomb, he will end the game.
  • Baragon: A tunneling creature, his special ability is to dig underground and become invisible, but he can be detected by a radar car.
  • Rodan: A flying, highly mobile monster. Rodan can heal if he is over a volcano. Also, he will be weak if he's on the ground.
  • Hedorah: An amorphous alien monster with numerous toxic chemical powers. Hedorah is invincible if he is in water, as he is able to constantly heal from any attacks.
  • King Ghidorah: A three-headed space dragon, possibly the most powerful monster ever.
  • Mothra: A giant moth, who appears in both her larval and imago forms. While she is initially an enemy, she will ally with the player if they find her egg.
  • UFO: A UFO. Fires beams that can initially be reflected with the Super X2's laser, but in later missions is so powerful that it punches right through.
