SNES Wrestling games

**Barkworm** · 01-08-2006, 05:11 AM

Currently I'm searching for some good SNES games to send them to my cousins in India. The little guys and gals LOVE wrestling so I thought I'd buy them a wrestling game, the problem is that I have no clue about wrestling games. What are the best ones on SNES? Any help is appreciated!

Oh man, theres no really good games for SNES.

wrestling games didn't really get good until the N64 but i guess theres one alright game.

"WWF Wrestlemania Arcade" its not really a wrestling game its more like Mortal Kombat with wrestlers....sorry but thats all I got.

I recall renting Royal Rumble for SNES several times and enjoying it profusely. It doesn't hold a candle to anything since WCW/nWo World Tour, but I guess it was ok at the time.

Yep, Royal Rumble is the only worthwhile one. It was actually pretty awesome. It had a great roster too and everyone had accurate finishing moves. I have it around here somewhere.

I have Royal Rumble somewhere, too. That was a wonderful game.

Well, lt's see. I had WWF Wrestlemania (the first 16-bit wrestling game) eons ago, but it was rather clunky and slow. The only real two games that still stand up and are fun to play are WWF Royal Rumble, and WWF Wrestlemania Arcade, which also had a sh*tty Genesis version.

For the Non-Licensed sort, you could try Saturday Night Slam Masters, which was an early non-lincensed Capcom wrestler. More like a simplified Street Fighter in a ring, but it featured the introduction Mike Hagger of Final Fight fame. Nice game, but rather arcady.

For a tad more techinal wresting in 16-bit, go with WWF Royal Rumble. It was the best 2D WWF game ever made. For more crazy arcade fun, for with WWF Wrestlemania Arcade (Mortal Kombat with oldschool WWF stars) or Saturday Night Slam Masters (Street Fighter in a Ring).
