This week's featured game is:


CHAMPION WRESTLER (1989)

Game number #854 or something on the Street Fighter Cabinet. We picked this game at random as our featured game for the youtube and it s*%cks. Maybe I just don't like fighting games. But this is the featured game or something this week if we like it or not. You can even post high scores on this game. But you can play two player or do vs. or do tag team.

Champion Wrestler is a belt-scrolling pro wrestling game developed and released by Taito for arcades in 1989. It was later ported to the PC Engine exclusively in Japan on December 14, 1990, which was digitally re-released on the Wii Virtual Console on January 20, 2009.

First off, there is a pretty big difference between a fighting game and a wrestling game. Just because Brain doesn't know how wrestling works, like tagging your partner or pinning your opponent, doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad game. I do enjoy the generic wrestler names they came up with (which also may be mis-translated) and when you finish the match there is a nice screen showing just how big of a winner or loser you are.

This is like when people used to come into the video game store I worked in and be like "Yeah I like gun games" and I'd me like "Oh yeah, what's your favorite? House of the Dead 2? Time Crisis? Silent Scope?" And they'd be like "Halo".
