Champion Wrestler - Console Fighting Games of 1990

Released in 1990 for the TurboGrafx‑16, Champion Wrestler is a conversion of Taito Corporation’s 1989 arcade hit, developed and published by Taito. This wrestling title brings the arcade’s chaotic energy to NEC’s console, offering a side‑view perspective of the ring with an elevated angle that showcases the full action.

Players select from eight fighters, each with their own moveset of punches, kicks, and throws, battling to become champion. Matches emphasize ring control: step outside the ropes and a countdown begins, forcing you back in before the fight ends. The game supports up to four players via TurboTap, with flexible multiplayer options including one‑on‑one duels, cooperative team battles against the CPU, or two‑team clashes with four human competitors.

With its blend of arcade authenticity, multi‑player accessibility, and straightforward mechanics, Champion Wrestler stands as one of the more notable wrestling experiences on the TurboGrafx‑16. #gaming #retrogaming #TurboGrafx16 #taito
