Big Bang Pro Wrestling gets surprise release on Switch

SNK has revealed the latest Neo Geo Pocket Color title it’s bringing to Switch – that being Big Bang Pro Wrestling. The game is actually available right now.

Big Bang Pro Wrestling originally came out in 2000. It never left Japan, though it did come with an English language option.

Here’s some information about the game:

It’s about to pop off! Muscle-bound wrestlers take the stage for a bombastic all-out brawl! Easy controls allow you to pull off sick and devastating special moves from the push of a button!

-10 fighters to choose from including fledging newbies, masked wrestlers, and hulking heavyweights! The ring is calling you!

-Each wrestler comes with their own personalized Finishing Move. Fulfill the proper conditions and let it rip to win the fight!

-Change up the rules with exciting modes like Coffin Death Match where your goal is to toss your opponent into a coffin. Or, try to steal away the reward in Reward Death Match to really stick it to your opponent!

*The instruction manual featured within the game is from the original NEOGEO Pocket Color version. Therefore, the control explanations may differ from those on Nintendo Switch.

*Local “VS MATCH” is possible, but online functions are disabled.

We also have the following trailer for the Switch launch:

Big Bang Pro Wrestling is up on the Switch eShop, and it can be purchased for $7.99.
