Kinnikuman - Kinnikusei Oui Soudatsusen (Japan) (Rev 1) (Disk Writer) - Fighting Classic
This is a Famicom Disk System fighting game from the Kinnikuman series, originally released in Japan in 1987 by Bandai. The "Rev 1" indicates a later revision of the disk, possibly fixing bugs or tweaking gameplay. It was sold through Disk Writer stations, where players could bring their blank disks to have the game written onto them.
In this game, players control Kinnikuman and other characters from the wrestler-themed manga, competing in one-on-one matches. The gameplay focuses on grappling, striking, and special moves unique to each wrestler. Matches take place in various arenas and each character has a health bar; the goal is to deplete the opponent's health or achieve a pinfall.
For fans of the franchise or retro fighting games, this title offers a glimpse into early competitive wrestling games on Nintendo hardware. It's simple compared to later fighters but has charm with its character roster and move sets. The Disk Writer release adds historical interest, as it represents a unique distribution method in Japan.
