Shin Nippon Pro Wrestling: Toukon Retsuden 3

About

Shin Nippon Pro Wrestling: Toukon Retsuden 3 is a PlayStation wrestling brawler that leans into the over-the-top spectacle of pro wrestling. You pick from a roster packed with real and fictional grapplers, each with signature moves and animations. The controls prioritize fast-paced action over simulation, letting you string together suplexes, strikes, and high-flying maneuvers with button combos. Single-player modes focus on climbing through tournaments while multiplayer lets you test moves against a friend locally. This entry adds new faces like Antonio Inoki and Tiger Mask to its roster while expanding match types with Tag Team and Battle Royal formats. The third game in the PlayStation 1 series keeps the smooth polygonal graphics and responsive handling that made earlier versions popular. Longtime fans note the deeper move list and updated arenas give it an edge over previous entries without overhauling the core formula.
