WCW: World Championship Wrestling — About this game
WCW: World Championship Wrestling puts twelve NWA stars into a NES wrestling game with singles and tag-team modes. Before each bout, choose four favorite techniques from your wrestler's eight-move selection. Punches and kicks weaken the opponent so you can grapple, throw or apply a hold, with a timing-based power meter affecting damage. The one-player singles route requires repeated tournament victories before a final challenge against the WCW Master. You can also form a tag team or compete against a second player. Victory can come by a three-count pin, a submission or an opponent staying outside the ring too long. The American edition uses WCW names and presentation, distinct from the Japanese Super Star Pro Wrestling roster.
