Kinnikuman Nisei: Dream Tag Match

About

Kinnikuman Nisei: Dream Tag Match is a wrestling game built around a goofy sci-fi rivalry between good and evil strongmen. You play as Kid Muscle, a prince tasked with stopping the Demon Manufacturing Plant from seizing the universe. Battles involve standard wrestling moves, tag-team switches, and over-the-top finishers. The single-player story mode pushes you through a series of matches to unlock new fighters and progress the plot. Tag team mode adds a partner for cooperative matches, while a retro classic mode lets you replay moves from the original NES game once all characters are unlocked. The game leans into its cartoonish roots with a cast of 14 wrestlers, though only a handful appear at launch. Players appreciate the unlockable content and hybrid gameplay that mixes narrative beats with wrestling mechanics. The WonderSwan Color’s screen handles the animations decently, and the inclusion of a classic mode adds extra value. While not a technical showcase, it appeals to fans of the source material with its humor and escalating stakes.
