CRITICAL!

This week, we take a look at Zen-Nippon Pro Wrestling: Ouja no Tamashii, which translates to All Japan Pro-Wrestling: Soul of Champion. This game serves as the precursor to the King of Colosseum series on the PlayStation 2. A frustrating first step but it would pave the way for what some consider the best wrestling game of all time.

Edit: This episode was recorded before the AEW Fight Forever achievement leaks and release date news.

Rest in Peace DEAN~! Rasmussen

This week it's SEGA's All Japan games. All Japan Pro-Wrestling featuring Virtua Fighter, Giant Gram and Giant Gram 2000. The third game especially is considered a classic of the wrestling genre. Damn, we didn't talk about Jim Steele as the real life Wolf Hawkfield.

Note: We're switching to a bi-weekly format to better fit work schedules.

This week, we're talking about the All Japan Pro-Wrestling games developed for the Super Famicom by Natsume. If you're outside Japan, you may remember Natsume Championship Wrestling, a port of the second game in the series without the AJPW license.

This week, we talk about Wrestle Kingdom 1 + 2 which are...in my opinion, some pretty boring games with great rosters. Also, Doug Basham and D-Von Dudley's severed leg. No new episode next week!

This week, we take a look at the All Star Pro-Wrestling series by Square/Square Enix. Some of the most visually impressive wrestling games ever made. Also, the Wonderful World of Pat Tanaka and Steve Austin calls Pro-Wrestling NOAH.

WWE 2K23 is out now so here is our review. We've got a lot to say about what I think is an incredibly user unfriendly game. Is it fun? Let's find out.

Note: No new episode next week.

This week we talk about the Toukon Road series which were games that existed if you didn't have a Playstation and Toukon Retsuden 3. GCW vs AEW Fight Forever, JEFFY, and licensing in China.

A whopper of an episode this week as we're joined by Sam Vallely of Hyperfocus Games. Developer of Ultra Pro Wrestling which is smashing through Kickstarter right now. We talk about the Kickstarter, goals for the game, inspiration, story mode..pretty much anything you want to know! 

This week, we cover the Varie New Japan Pro-Wrestling games for Game Boy and Super Famicom. Some you should avoid, some worth checking out. News of the week, figure talk and tech issues that have my brain leaving my body. 

Toukon Retsuden is a huge part of wrestling game history. The first 3D wrestling game, YUKES first game and a port that would introduce us to legendary ring announcer Gorgon. This week we cover the whole series, Toukon Retsuden 1-4, Toukon Retsuden on the WonderSwan, Toukon Retsuden Advance and Power Move Pro Wrestling.
