Tsuppari Oozumou - Heisei Ban

Aren't buttons supposed to make something happen?


Genre: fighting - wrestling

Publisher: Naxat Soft

Year: 1993

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 0

Gameplay Notes:

This is one of the few games that were so battling that I had to seek out a walkthrough. It took me a while to find on (thank you StrategyWiki) but even with every mechanic and button combination spelled out in black ink I can't get any of it to work. Yes that's an exaggeration, but not by much. This stupid game is impossible. Utter trash gameplay. Nothing you do to your perfectly controller results in activity on screen. It's that bad. Avoid like the plague.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

If there's one nice thing I can say about this piece of crap it's that it gives you a practice mode. Hallelujah. Then again, all this does is gives you a risk free environment to demonstrate that all of those button combinations which are supposed to do something, don't do anything. It's not you, it's not your controller, it's not your OP opponents, it's the horrible design of this game.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Walls and walls of Japanese text. And I gotta say it - Sumo is a brazenly homoerotic sport. Not my cup of tea.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

8-bit. Very cute sprites, as far as diapered fat men can be.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Decent tunes. My favorite feature of this dumb thing


Overall Score: 21

Review ID: 8144
