Summary
As I say every time, I never owned a NEOGEO Pocket so all these games are judged on a first-time-ever experience. Man, I love the old wrestling games, I love how they do so much with so little and Big Bang Pro Wrestling is no exception, with just two buttons you are able to pull off a multitude of moves and actions, yes it’s tricky to learn at first as some are time-based or reflex heavy but once it clicks it rocks. Going for a more arcade experience, Big Bang Pro Wrestling has only a handful of game modes, and whilst they add to it, the base game is always just 1v1 and that is fine if not a tad disappointing. For nostalgia, for what can be done with only a small resource, Big Bang Pro Wrestling is an absolute banging offering and full of fun and dare I say one of the better wrestling games out there.
