Arcade Archives: Penguin Wars

Penguin-Kun Wars is an action video game developed and published by UPL for arcades. It was ported to numerous platforms by ASCII under the title Penguin Wars. A port developed by ASCII the Game Boy, Penguin-Kun Wars Vs., was the only version to be released outside Japan; it was released in North America as Penguin Wars by Nexoft and in Europe as King of the Zoo by Nintendo. The main background music in most versions of the game is an electronic rendition of "Motto Sekkin Shimasho" (もっと接近しましょ, loosely, "Let's Get Closer") a song originally performed by 1980s J-Pop singer Hidemi Ishikawa (石川秀美, Ishikawa Hidemi) (in turn a translation of "The Glamorous Life" performed by Sheila E.).
