It's a great series. If you ask me, the best US SNES wrestling game, from a pure wrestling standpoint, is hands down Natsume Championship Wrestling. I'm a big fan of NCW, and it should have something more in that article IMO than a quick blurb and one comparison picture. By all means, feel free to add a link to my NCW review if you want to give the readers an avenue to know more about the US release, which I feel to this day the game is sorely overlooked --- It had the license removed, the characters redrawn, and the name was changed to "Natsume Champion Wrestling".Champion should be Championship. |

It's a bit odd insisting to call the federations Zen-Nippon and Shin-Nippon when even most Diehard Puroresu fans refer to them as All Japan and New Japan. I understand it within the title of the game, but I'd at least mention their more well known names and acronyms (AJPW, etc...) when they're mentioned outside the context of the game title.

MECHABABA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Fight da Pon! is definitely my favorite video board game ever. Even better than Technos' Sugoro Quest series, or Human Entertainment's Tadaima Yuusha Boshuu Chuu. First game, second paragraph, second sentence: Other than the standard wrestling maneuvers, you can do cool things like set the other guy up after they take a fall, or bounce them off of the ropes by body slamming them.This may have been my fault, but it's supposed to say sit, and not set. You literally sit them up so that you can apply submission moves. You can stand them up as well, but that's practically a given in any post-8-bit wrestler. Champion should be Championship. I'm pretty sure it's just Champion. It's a bit odd insisting to call the federations Zen-Nippon and Shin-Nippon when even most Diehard Puroresu fans refer to them as All Japan and New Japan. I understand it within the title of the game, but I'd at least mention their more well known names and acronyms (AJPW, etc...) when they're mentioned outside the context of the game title. It might be worth mentioning that, but most of the references are to the games themselves (both Varie's Shin-Nippon series, and NCS' Zen-Nippon series), which should be refered to with the Japanese names, as those are the names of the games. You could make this modification to the second sentence of the first paragraph of the intro... There were plenty of federations out there, but two dominated the rest: Shin-Nippon Pro Wrestling and Zen-Nippon Pro Wrestling (often refered to by abreviations of their English translations - NJPW and AJPW, respectively). MOD: Reworded the above sentence slightly.

Nope, it's "Championship" not "Champion." My brother and I spent HOURS playing Natsume Championship Wrestling during the mid '90s. On this occasion I am a reliable source. Plus, there's this   |
