Mortal Kombat II (Mega Drive / Genesis) Japanese Box Art / Packaging Translation

Mortal Kombat II (Mega Drive) (9.9.94)

In Mortal Kombat II's localization to Japan, it seems that the iconic term 'fatality' was translated to "Extreme God Fist".

This is nothing like sports. These guys, are BATTLING.

The ultimate warriors have returned again! Resurrected by the warlock Shao Kahn, it seems that Shang Tsung has begun a new "Banquet of Slaughter," and you must now topple them both. Choosing between your powerful special abilities, go and defeat your rivals with the 'Extreme God Fist'...
