Description
A roster of determined professional wrestlers enters the ring to prove who possesses the strongest fighting spirit. Every bout becomes a physical contest of throws, holds and strikes as increasingly difficult rivals stand between the chosen wrestler and championship recognition.
Published by Tecmo for the Japanese Famicom, Gekitou Puroresu!! Toukon Densetsu delivers straightforward professional wrestling action with large character sprites and a varied selection of grappling techniques. Players wear down opponents before attempting stronger attacks and match-ending moves. Its dramatic presentation captures the larger-than-life spirit of Japanese wrestling during the 8-bit era.
- Use punches, kicks, grapples and powerful throws to weaken opponents throughout each match. Stronger techniques become easier to land after wearing a rival down.
- Face multiple wrestlers with different appearances and attack patterns. Learning how to counter each opponent becomes increasingly important later in the competition.
- Energetic animations and dramatic wrestling moves create an unmistakable puroresu atmosphere. The game is a fascinating Japanese alternative to Western 8-bit wrestling titles.
