Godzilla: Monster of Monsters! adapts the Toho kaiju on Compile NES with Godzilla and Mothra crossing the galaxy to free Pluto, Neptune and Saturn from other monsters. The representation offers strategic map with platform combat phases against kaiju in an original kaiju license formula. Honest for NES kaiju fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Compile catalog.

Collector interest

Published by Toho itself in 1984, this Famicom title taps the Godzilla licence directly, with no Western middleman. Its appeal rests on the oddity of a film studio acting as game publisher and on the early print run, among the first playable kaiju titles. It never left Japan and has no NES counterpart, making it a niche piece for Godzilla and early Famicom devotees rather than for the action gameplay itself.
