Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling

About

Gekitou Burning Pro Wrestling is a wrestling game with 129 playable fighters and a focus on customizable matches. It lets you tweak rules, select stages, and adjust wrestler traits for nearly any scenario. The interface leans into arcade-style controls with a layer of strategy for move selection and timing. It includes exhibition matches, tournaments, and a mode where you build custom rosters from scratch. The roster pulls from real-life promotions and fictional personas with every wrestler using a pseudonym. It mixes puroresu icons, MMA fighters, luchadors, and even sumo wrestlers under new names. Released in 1995 for Super Famicom, it remains a standout for its depth and sheer variety. Retro wrestling fans still cite it as one of the most flexible games in the genre with over 200 unique move combinations reported in community archives.
