What seems like a hentai game is actually a competent wrestling game, made by the developers of Paladin's Quest as well as the more popular Virtual Pro Wrestling game. "Cutie Suzuki no Ringside" features 9 female wrestlers to choose from, every champion is based on real JWP Joshi wrestlers, each with their own portrait, changing expression up to six times depending on your health meter. There are quite a few moves to execute in this classic, including a down kick, a dropkick, a punch, an Irish whip, climbing turnbuckle, as well as a large variety of grapples, pinfall, and submission holds, every character has a special attack and a meter to execute them, the controls can be clunky and the game a little slow. There are five difficulty settings, ranging from New Face to Grand Champion. There are announcers in the right row screen, they often change based on the tournament being played. The graphics and sounds aren't the best, but it is a great wrestling game and the novelty of an all-female wrestling game is too good to ignore.
