A Look at WrestleMania: The Arcade Game

While everyone is having fun finding those WWE 2K20 glitches, lets take a look at an old wrestling game.

WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game was released back in 1995 in arcades. While home ports would become available, nothing really compares to the original release. WrestleMania is a different breed of wrestling game, playing more like a traditional fighting game but also retaining a steep learning curve.

The roster here is small, featuring only 8 superstars (6 in the SNES version). Bret Hart, Yokozuna, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Lex Luger, Doink, Bam Bam Bigelow and Razor Ramon make up the entire roster. In comparison to later releases from 2K and WWE games, yeah, it definitely is a small roster. However, each individual superstar plays different, and you’re going to have to put in the hours to master each wrestler.

In this video from Wrestling Bios, we look at WrestleMania: The Arcade Game. While also looking at the original (and best) arcade version, we also look at the home ports to see how they stack up.
