Play Mortal Kombat II - Kyuukyoku Shinken (Japan) Online
You rip spines out, dodge spears, and paint the screen red—this is the brutal, uncensored MK2 that never made it to the West. The SNES somehow handles the chaos without slowing down.
Game Overview
If you thought the SNES version of Mortal Kombat II was toned down, the Japanese release—Kyuukyoku Shinken—throws that idea straight into the pit. This is the uncut, unfiltered chaos that had arcade crowds losing their minds in the '90s. Scorpion’s spear still yanks opponents across the screen, Sub-Zero’s spine-ripping fatality is just as gnarly, and the blood? Oh, it’s everywhere. The SNES somehow keeps up with smooth animations, even when the screen’s covered in pixelated carnage.
What makes this version special? No censorship. The Western release had to dial back the gore, but here, every uppercut sends a comical fountain of red into the air. The roster’s stacked with classics—Liu Kang’s bicycle kick actually feels powerful, and Raiden’s lightning makes the screen flicker like an old tube TV. It’s not just nostalgia, either. The fighting holds up, even if the AI occasionally cheats like a sore loser.
Perfect for when you need a quick hit of that old-school brutality. Just try not to throw your controller after the CPU pulls off its third straight fatality.
