Because there are so many titles, there are bound to be games that stand out from the rest. Many fans of the Ultraman series who want to get into the games will want to know which titles are the best.

10 Ultraman: Towards the Future (1991)

One of the few Ultraman games to be released in English, Ultraman: Towards the Future came out in 1991 for the SNES. This release follows the story of the Ultraman: Towards the Future series that aired in the early ’90s, and it is a simple tournament-style fighting game.

Players will fight off many monsters from the original series, and some from the TV show the game is based on. Although this fighter was praised for staying faithful to the 1990s series, it was also criticized for being relentlessly difficult.

9 Kaiju Busters (2009)

Often called an Ultraman­-themed Monster Hunter game, Kaiju Busters was released on Nintendo DS in 2009. Players take control of a space marine in the Science Force, whose job is to explore faraway planets and kill all sorts of monsters that may get in the way.

Though Ultraman doesn’t make an appearance in Kaiju Busters, it is still considered a spin-off of the series, as it focuses on the Science Patrol. The game has surprisingly good Kaiju models, especially for the DS.

8 Ultraman Nexus (2005)

Ultraman Nexus was released in 2005 and is based on the TV series of the same name. It’s a fighting game that also includes characters from the film ULTRAMAN.

As such, Ultraman Nexus has a large selection of characters, all of which have their own unique play-styles and over-the-top (but entertaining) moves, while still being simple enough to play. The game’s graphics are highly-regarded and the soundtrack fits the occasion, however, the simplicity of the combat system may turn a few people off.

7 Ultra X Weapons (1995)

Ultra X Weapons came out in 1995 as an arcade game, and it is known as Ultra Keibitai in Japan. An action game, Ultra X Weapons is a top-down shooter, similar to Galaga.
