Japan-only sequel to Spartan X (Kung-Fu Master abroad), released late on the Famicom in October 1991 as attention was shifting to the Super Famicom. This Irem exclusive was never localized, making it a title beat'em up fans seek to complete the Thomas lineage. Its end-of-generation print run, far smaller than the worldwide original, drives a steep premium for complete copies and keeps demand narrow but durable among Famicom specialists.
Is Spartan X 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Irem's founding beat them up, Spartan X 2 brings Thomas back for new clashes across varied levels, enriching the original formula with new enemies and broadened mechanics. The snappy, direct action remains, but the title, released late and Japan only, stays more obscure than its illustrious elder. The arcade pleasure still works in sessions. For a retro beat them up fan, someone curious about the overlooked sequel to Kung-Fu Master or a collector, the title keeps a direct effectiveness and a niche interest.
