Play Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back Online

Pokemon Mewtwo Strikes Back was a Japan only release for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by TOSE and published by Nintendo. It came out in 1998, a time when the console was nearing the end of its life but still had a few surprises left for dedicated players.

You control Ash Ketchum, navigating through a series of environments based on the first Pokemon movie. The main goal is to track down Mewtwo and stop his plans. The gameplay involves screen by screen exploration, turn based Pokemon battles using a rock paper scissors style type chart, and occasionally making dialogue choices that can alter the story's path. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty is fairly manageable, making it feel like an interactive, condensed version of the film. It captures the simple, straightforward fun of early Pokemon adventures.
