Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters is the Compile NES sequel transforming the series into a strategic wargame where humanity defends Earth against Toho kaiju. The representation offers hexagonal map, military deployment and animated combat against monsters in an original strategy license formula. Honest for NES strategy fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Compile catalog.

Collector interest

Toho's 1990 sequel ranks among the most valuable American NES late releases, its spread between loose cartridge and sealed copy reaching heights rarely seen on the platform. Released at the end of the cycle when the SNES drew attention, it had a reduced print run that makes it a prime target for rarity hunters. The pairing of the Godzilla licence and a thin distribution, rather than its play merits, grounds its high value.
