The Money Game II: Kabutochou no Kiseki (ザ・マネーゲーム2 兜町の奇跡?) is a Famicom game that is about investing money in the stock market. All the benefits from the original Money Game are here except the engine of the game itself makes it feel more like the American NES game Wall Street Kid than that of its predecessor. The story line is different but the layout and the scheme of the office is almost exactly the same as Wall Street Kid. It is suggested that this game may be the Japanese version of Wall Street Kid and that only cosmetic changes were made to make it relevant with the North American audiences (the part about the rich uncle dying and the nephew wheeling, dealing, and marrying a trophy wife may be garnishings added on by the localization team in order to give a 1980s movie feel to it).
