Play Pro Wrestling on nes Online

Pro Wrestling came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, developed and published by Nintendo. It was one of the earlier sports games on the console, arriving at a time when most wrestling games were still very simple. This one stood out for having a full roster of distinct characters, each with their own special moves.

You control a wrestler from a side view, moving around the ring to grapple with an opponent. The main goal is to either pin their shoulders to the mat for a three count or force a submission. Key mechanics include building momentum by successfully executing moves, which then allows you to perform a powerful signature finisher. Matches are fast and can feel chaotic, especially with the somewhat stiff control scheme that requires precise timing for counters and reversals. It feels satisfying to finally land a devastating move after a back and forth struggle.
