Play Yokozuna Monogatari Online
You pick sumo moves between matches, train your wrestler’s stats, and try not to get yeeted out of the ring—the crowd goes wild when you pull off a slick throw.
Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a sumo wrestler without actually having to eat 10,000 calories a day? Yokozuna Monogatari on the SNES is the closest you’ll get—and it’s way more fun than it sounds. At first glance, it looks like another sports game, but give it five minutes and you’ll realize it’s more like a sumo RPG. You train your wrestler, pick techniques (I went for the classic belt grip at first, which… did not go well), and slowly work your way up from some nobody to a legendary Yokozuna.
The pixel art is full of little details—the way the crowd cheers when you pull off a perfect throw, or how your wrestler’s belly jiggles just right when he charges. Matches are tense, too—one wrong move and you’re eating dirt. It’s not just about brute force; dodging at the right moment or tricking your opponent into overcommitting feels as satisfying as landing a knockout punch in a fighting game. If you’ve got a soft spot for weird, deep SNES hidden gems, this one’s a total blast.
