Wrestling games on Saturn?

[zenarcadian]

As a longtime fan of the world's fave pseudo-sport, I find whenever I go to buy a console, it's the wrestling games I look at first. I know that Acclaim ported two of its earlier WWF titles on to Saturn, and they are good, silly fun, In Your House in particular, but is there any knocking about on import at all?

There's All Japan Pro wrestling, which seems to have real Japanese wrestlers (with guest appearance from VF characters). It's usually dirt cheap, so I picked one up, but I've yet to give it a good go yet.

There is a 'Fire Pro Wrestling' game that is pretty great... But a PS2 newer version recently came out, so if you have a PS2 I would try that first...

Definitely check it out, it has old school 2d charm, and is highly customizable. If you do decide to check out the Saturn version it's not to hard with shuffle through in it's Japanese language. I still need to pick up the PS2 version, I think I'll look into it when I get some money {my Saturn version was stolen a long time ago}.

The All Japan Pro Wrestling featuring Virtua is very good. The tutorial will teach you the basic's and if you read Japanese, I think it cover's all the moves. The main wrestler's I knew in the game are Giant Baba, Stan the Lariot Hansen, Steve Dr. Death Williams and Johnny Ace aka John Laurenitis (brother of Road Warrior Animal). From Virtua, Wolf & Jeremy.

Definitely worth a look ;D

I Recently bought All Japan Pro Wrestling, new and sealed for a fiver, its far better than most wrestling games from that time, easy to get into and I reckon it could last for ages if it grabs your attention.

Yeah it seems to be a great game. Arrived yesterday but I'm yet to give it a full service

This'll probably be the first import I'll get when I mod my Saturn. Wrestling is one genre that the Saturn really fails on. Especially the PAL systems with a choice of Wrestlemania The Arcade Game or In Your House.

I was really happy to find Wrestlemania The Arcade Game on a garage sale for nothing.
Didn't know what to expect and found brillant the idea of turning a wrestlemania game into a versus arcade fighting game!

But it's true that, to find a real wrestle game you have to look for the japanese imports.
I didn't find anything to match Wretlemania the arcade game yet, but still, there are pretty cool stuff.
Although I really found Pro Wrestling featuring Virtua totally rubbish, I enjoyed a lot Fire Prowrestling S - 6Men Scramble!!
And, for me, it's the best one from Japan on the Saturn

I've just been watching some videos of All Japan and it looks awesome. Smoother gameplay than I imagined. Also, unless my eyes are deceiving me, the graphics look pretty smart, although the crowd and arena is one giant texture in the background. lol
