The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is one of the most iconic and beloved gaming consoles of all time. Released in 1991, it brought a new level of graphics and gameplay to the table, and its library of games still holds up today. One of the standout titles on the SNES was "Great Battle III: The Master of Dragon" or more commonly known as "Great Battle III", however in many places its name is called 'Great Battle II" not III 'The Great Battle 3' indeed one is released, but most of people call it Great battle II.

Released in Japan in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, "Great Battle" was developed by SNK and published by SNK. It was ported to several other consoles including the Sega CD and PC Engine (known as TurboGrafx-CD outside of North America).

This game is part of a popular fighting game series known as the "Art of Fighting" or more commonly called as "Great Battle". The game follows the story of Ryo Sakazaki, a young martial artist who must face off against the villainous Shingo Yabuki.

In terms of gameplay, Great Battle III: The Master of Dragon features 2D fighting mechanics with a variety of special moves and combos that players can perform using their characters' unique abilities. Players can choose from six different characters to play as each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Gameplay is divided into two modes - Story Mode, where Ryo must fight his way through various opponents to reach the final showdown with Shingo; and Versus Mode, where players can compete against each other using their chosen character. Players can also participate in an exhibition mode or practice mode to hone their skills before taking on other opponents.

The game received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, with some praising its engaging gameplay and others finding it lacking compared to other fighting games of the time. The game's difficulty curve was also criticized for being too steep, leading to frustration for some players.

Despite this, "Great Battle III" remains a cult classic among fans of the Art of Fighting series and has been re-released on several occasions in recent years, including as part of various SNK compilation packages.

However, I did find some review that mention the game's age rating is suitable for most children, but parental discretion advised due to some violence and mild language.

The SNES version of Great Battle III: The Master of Dragon was released with a few minor bug fixes compared to its Japan-only counterpart, which featured an alternate ending. Both versions feature impressive graphics for their time period, taking full advantage of the Super Nintendo's capabilities.

Overall, while not as widely known as some other titles in the Art of Fighting series, "Great Battle III" is still a solid choice for fans of classic fighting games looking to revisit this piece of gaming history or introduce themselves to one of SNK's lesser-known franchises.

If you're looking for information on whether Great battle II is suitable for children I would say its recommended for anyone aged 8 and above due to some violence, language and mild suggestive themes.
