Play California Games II (Japan) (En,Ja) Online

California Games II came out for the Super Nintendo in 1993, developed and published by Natsume. It was part of that wave of sports and party games that thrived on the SNES, offering a mix of events that felt both familiar and a little offbeat compared to other titles at the time.

You control different athletes across events like jet skiing, snowboarding, and hang gliding. The main goal is to score as many points as possible by performing tricks and completing courses. Signature mechanics include timing-based trick inputs, like hitting buttons in sequence for aerial moves, and navigating obstacle-filled environments that change from event to event. The pacing is quick, though some events have a steep learning curve due to finicky controls. Landing a perfect trick after several failed attempts gives a real sense of accomplishment.
