Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle is a fast tag‑team fighting game that swaps Savage Reign’s two‑plane system for dynamic tag combat, emphasizing team synergy, chain combos, and simplified controls for more fluid, strategic matches. Players pick two fighters, use tag cancels and partner assists to extend combos and shift momentum in high‑risk 2D arcade battles.
The roster is largely retained with Nicola and Carol replaced by Rosa and Kim Sue Il. A new final boss, Jyazu, blends moves from Gozu and Mezu, adding extra challenge.

Extremely underrated Neo Geo Title
This review is for the Neo Geo AES version
I own the four-player kit of this (you connect two cabinets together). Yes, four-player tag battles before that was ever a thing.
It came out at a very unfortunate time and was overshadowed by its peers. But it offered something quite different and it remains incredibly fun to this day. It has depth enough to hold your attention and as is typical of SNK the bosses are pretty nasty.
Very much worth a try, but much better (like most Neo Geo games) with local multiplayer. Invite some friends over if you're playing this game.
