King of the Monsters[a] is a fighting game developed by SNK, released for arcades in Japan in 1991, and ported to the Neo Geo AES later that same year.

In addition, to the original ports, King of the Monsters was included in SNK Arcade Classics Vol.

In 2018, the game was ported to the Nintendo Switch Shop by Hamster as part of their Arcade Archives line.

In Japan, Game Machine listed King of the Monsters on their April 1, 1991 issue as being the fourth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

[9] Mega criticised the game, awarding it a score of 10%, with Andy Dyer making the comment "unforgivably bad.

[10] IGN reviewed the game in 2008, giving it a mediocre score of 5.5/10, with Lucas Thomas commenting "There's certainly some appeal to the sight of giant creatures kicking over skyscrapers and stadiums on their way to slap one another into submission, but King of the Monsters just ends up being far too shallow".
