Not a single Kinnikuman game was made yet for the modern consoles, and none of the current ones support online play.

This is just a list of the games after Ultimate Muscle on Gamecube

Galactic Wrestling (PS2)
Kinnikuman Muscle Generations (PSP)
Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix Max & 2 (PS2)

There is also a newer game on phones which is a TCG type of game.

You might look for a NES emulator to play the old nintendo one. It's not super amazing by any means, but fun. If it's any consolation, your gamecube muscle game should play on a nintendo wii, not sure about the wiiU, I should test it.

And if you look hard enough, you may find the Ultimate Muscle hack for the NES game.

Um hack?

Yo, I've played them all. The best one without a doubt is Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2. Oh boy if you need a kinniku fix, this is the one. Galactic Wrestling is pretty horrible, Muscle Generations is the same thing, and the one on Gamecube was definitely a good game for the brand but... MGP2 is the best. For a while in Japan it even attracted a competitive following as it is pretty well balanced and offers tons of strategies for play. I play that one with my gal from time to time and we love it. I wish more people loved Kinnikuman. :S

I must disagree with you there Muscle Generations is one of the best out there after Legends vs New Generation. I mean yes Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2. one of the best looking kinnikumans games EVER and i do mean EVER. But Muscle Generations has the best gameplay and it really feels like your playing the manga. So yeah of your going for one make it Legends vs New Generation or Muscle Generation.

I hope some Kinnikuman characters make it to Project Versus J

KMGP2 is the best one. This is not even up for debate. The gameplay is solid and technical, which is why it garnered a competitive scene in Japan. It also has the best representation of characters. Of course, this isn't even accounting for the awesome stage selections that are available (much more than LvNG and MG). There was no laziness in this title with cloned characters, either. One can easily tell that the developers really put in good effort to make a great Kinnikuman game, something which was lacking somewhat in LvNG and MG.

You are exactly right. You CAN have fun with muscle generations or galactic wrestling but every character is the exact same. They all have basically the exact same move set with just different animations. Now Legends vs the New Generation on Gamecube is the most polished if you want to go that route, but KMGP2 is actually a wonderful fighter on it's own merits, even if you don't take into consideration the loving care they put into the Kinnikuman side of things.

And concerning a japanese ps2? If you have a slim just buy swap magic with the replacement lid thing. SUPER easy to do... it kinda looks intimidating but it isn't at all. Simply unscrew the lid and put the new one one and use swap magic to play any game really. This way you don't have to import a jap ps2 which is a costly way to play imports.

thanks for the advice ill definatly try it any idea of where i can find a cheap swap magic thing ebay perhaps?

[RUNgZ]

Yeah make sure you get the latest version, but you can basically expect to pay around $25 for the swap magic and around 10-15 for the slim lid.

Muscle Grand Prix 2 also plays pretty well on PCSX2, a PS2 Emulator, a strong enough PC can get it to run at 60 frames if set up right.

In addition, I like to hang out in cs go on weekends. I also like to collect csgo best ak skins. Applying these skins, your weapon takes on a more original look.

 

I agree with you that Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2 is a great fighter on its own merits. It has a lot of depth and variety, and it is a lot of fun to play. I also agree that Legends vs. the New Generation is the most polished Kinnikuman fighting game, but KMGP2 is a close second.

 

I am glad to hear that you are aware of the swap magic method for playing Japanese PS2 games on a PAL or NTSC PS2. It is a very easy and inexpensive way to play imports, and it is definitely worth considering if you are interested in playing Japanese PS2 games.

 

I hope you enjoy Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix 2!

Kinnikuman is a playable character in Jump Ultimate Stars on the DS. Been meaning to play the translated version soon
