The
wrestling situation on the NES is interesting. Pro Wrestling is straight up great and
was released super early into the NES’s run. Since that impressive beginning
companies have added real wrestlers, steel cages, tournaments, crappy
toys, finishing moves, and other cool features. However, almost every time the creators
neglected to include grappling, the most important aspect of
wrestling. Without grappling the
games are often reduced to displays of punching and kicking. With their obvious love of kick boxing,
I am stunned there is no NES version of Van Damme’s
classic, Bloodsport. There’s a rumor that both WWF games
that we haven’t played include grappling and individual moves, and WCW
Wrestling is actually fun. This
has sent Agent J back to the caves in search of these games and fire.
