No, it’s not a new game, sadly. A new port of the NEO GEO classic is out today on the Switch’s eShop for $7.99 though. My Nostalgia Button doth protest being touched too much… I’m tempted to buy King of the Monsters just to scratch that itch and pretend it was still cool to pierce one ear with a lightning bolt in 2018.
About King of the Monsters:
KING OF THE MONSTERS is an action game released by SNK in 1991. Players choose from one of the six monsters available, and battle their way across Japan in order to claim the title of strongest monster. In addition to normal attacks such as punches and kicks, master more destructive techniques such as flame and beam attacks to overcome the enemies.
