    Overview

    No Caption Provided

    The Monkey King: The Legend Begins (known in Japan as Shin Chuuka Taisen: Michael to Meimei no Bouken, loosely translated to "True Legendary Chinese Hermit: The Adventure of Michael and Meimei") is a historical-fantasy 2D side-scrolling shoot-'em-up developed by Starfish (along with Opera House) and published for the Nintendo Wii in Japan (published by Starfish on September 6, 2007) and North America (published by UFO on May 30, 2008).

    It is a remake of the 1988 Hot-B / Taito arcade game Chuuka Taisen (better known overseas as "Cloud Master"), putting players into the role of two part-monkey children siblings (Wukong Chen and Mei Mei Chen, or "Michael" and "Meimei" in the Japanese version) as they ride their flying clouds across Ancient China in order to train to become the "Cloud Master" (or "Chuka Taisen").

    The gameplay and structure is similar to the original game, with new features (such as two-player simultaneous co-operative play and motion controls for adjusting the horizontal position). Despite the North American box art, the game features a cutesy art style and some comedic elements.
