Play Toukon Club (Japan) Online

Toukon Club’s wrestlers move like they’re made of rubber—you’ll suplex someone halfway across the ring, then eat a surprise clothesline when you least expect it. That tin-can crowd noise just makes the chaos better.

Game Overview

Man, Toukon Club is one of those NES wrestling games that somehow feels both janky and brilliant at the same time. The sprites are chunky, the moves are hilariously exaggerated, and the crowd noise sounds like someone recorded a tin can full of bees—but that’s part of the charm. You pick from these over-the-top wrestlers (my go-to’s the guy with the neon green tights) and immediately start clobbering each other with moves that look like they’d snap a real person’s spine.

It’s got this weird rhythm where you’re constantly jostling for position, and the reversals come out of nowhere—one second you’re setting up a piledriver, the next you’re eating a surprise dropkick. The AI’s sneaky good, too. I lost my first match because I got cocky and tried to showboat instead of just pinning the guy. Classic mistake.

If you’ve played Tecmo World Wrestling, this one’s rougher around the edges, but there’s something about the way it leans into the chaos of ’80s Japanese wrestling that just clicks. That pixelated referee waving his arms like a maniac when you win? Perfect. Just don’t expect a technical masterpiece—it’s more like finding a VHS tape of some wild, forgotten match from 1987.
