I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).

It was all about the Starman Somersault or the Tiger Claw!

Fist4achin828d ago

Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!

Smackdown 1+2 on PSX
A lot of hours went into those two games

Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.

Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

The Wood1562d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1562d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1562d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191562d ago

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games
