WWF Royal Rumble is a nostalgic blast from the past! It was one of the best wrestling games on the SNES, with its simple-yet-fun gameplay and a decent roster of classic wrestlers. The graphics are charmingly dated, there's the iconic "tug-o-war" grapple system, and of course, the chaotic Royal Rumble mode. It might not hold up perfectly by modern standards, but for old-school WWF fans or retro game enthusiasts, it's still a ton of fun

Armed with the manual, there's a lot to love about this 30 year old arcade wrestler. Graphics and sound are on point, roster and match types are varied, and it's easy to learn. But the button mash grapple system leaves a lot to be desired, weighing down an otherwise fun throwback.

Still, an easy three stars for 16-bit Mean Gene alone.

One of my favorite games as a kid, but playing it today, the button mashing grappling system is rough. The roster has most of my childhood favorites and each wrestler's theme song, and each wrestler has their own finisher but otherwise the same moves. The royal rumble mode can still be fun today, but overall the best wrestling games are at least a generation later.

definitely good for it's time, but trying to play it nowadays, even with the nostalgia i have for it, it kinda stinks

There's fun to be had.

My first wrestling game. Ultimate Warrior all the way!
