Play Special Tag Team Pro Wrestling (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Ever played one of those old wrestling games where everything feels just a little bit ridiculous? Special Tag Team Pro Wrestling is exactly that—a Japan-only NES game where the wrestlers move like stiff action figures, the crowd cheers in crunchy 8-bit, and every suplex looks like it might snap someone’s spine. I love it.

You pick from a lineup of wrestlers who all look like they’ve been squished into spandex two sizes too small, then jump into matches that are half brawl, half slapstick. The controls take a second to get used to (good luck pulling off a perfect dropkick on your first try), but once you figure it out, there’s something weirdly satisfying about the way your guy just flops onto an opponent after a flying tackle.

Tag team mode is where it really shines—grabbing a buddy and taking turns getting thrown out of the ring never gets old. The AI isn’t exactly smart, but who cares when you’re too busy laughing at how your wrestler’s hair glitches through his head when he gets pinned? It’s janky, loud, and absolutely worth digging up if you miss when wrestling games were more about vibes than realism.
