Ever wanted to see Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and a Gundam duke it out in a side-scrolling brawl? That’s basically Great Battle Gaiden 2 in a nutshell. It’s one of those weird but fun SNES platformers where you switch between three heroes mid-stage—each with their own moves, like Ultraman’s beam attacks or the Gundam’s ranged shots.
The controls are surprisingly smooth for a 90s licensed game, though the Japanese text means you’ll be guessing at menus. Still, the sprite work is colorful, and there’s something hilarious about watching these totally different franchises share a screen. Just don’t expect a deep story—it’s all about jumping, punching, and occasionally transforming mid-fight.
If you’re into retro platformers or just love crossover chaos, this one’s a neat little time capsule.
