Zen-Nippon Pro Wrestling Featuring Virtua

About

Zen Nippon Pro Wrestling Featuring Virtua throws 12 wrestlers into the ring for a mix of sports and fighting game action. Players can battle in single player campaigns or face off locally via split screen. Each matchup pits All Japan Pro Wrestling stars against one another in matches tied to winning the Triple Crown. The roster blends traditional pro wrestling moves with the polygonal flair of the Virtua Fighter series. Released in late 1997 for arcade and Sega Saturn, the game leans into the over-the-top drama of puroresu. The split screen mode remains a standout for couch co-op brawls. While dated by modern standards, it captures the chaotic energy of 90s wrestling games. Community archives note its niche status among Sega Saturn fighters.
