Kinnikuman II Dream Tag Match (New)

The grapple animations are so over-the-top they make modern wrestling games look tame, and the tag team AI actually works with you instead of running into walls. It's a weird little cartridge, but I've had more fun with this in a week than with titles that cost ten times as much.

The sprite work here is surprisingly detailed for a Wonderswan cart, and the tag-team mechanics add a layer of strategy I didn't expect from a handheld wrestling game. It's pure chaos in the best way, and the matches move fast enough that I keep telling myself "one more" before putting it down.

Playing as Kinikuman and his friends feels just like the manga come to life on the handheld screen. The wrestling moves are surprisingly deep and the shrunk-down sprites still have loads of personality.
