The Big Pro Wrestling! is an action game from 1983 where the player controls a hero wrestler fighting through the pro wrestling world to become champion. Quick move selection and tag-team touch work decide matches, and brawls outside the ring or unexpected intruders can occur. The Arcade Archives version includes difficulty settings, rewind, rapid fire, and multiple save slots. The Arcade Archives 2 version adds a Time Attack Mode and supports VRR for behavior closer to the original arcade hardware. Prices are 838 yen for Switch, 837 yen for PS4, and 1,100 yen for each of the Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions. Hamster will also stream a program focused on the game on May 21 at 19:00.
