What could be more Japanese than a Sumo Wrestling video game? This is a fun looking 2D fighter with pretty good 16-bit graphics.
Maybe this is where E. Honda was recruited from? 🙂
This game is in excellent shape and I think a very cool addition to the collection.

Hm. I thought you had this one already. I guess not. It’s not bad, but knowing the manga and liking sumo helps out a lot over going in and winging it (like I did when I got this a while back). That cover still stands out as striking because its literally in your face (and you’re about to be stomped!).
Say, did you pick up that RPG Trifecta Pack from Super Fighter Team yet. The cool thing is it will run on pretty much any PC from the last dozen years or so just perfectly…

Ha! It wouldn’t have been the first time I bought a double. I checked my spread sheet and I think this is my only copy. But I’ll look through the actual games and see what I find.
I haven’t yet picked up the Trifecta Pack from Super Fighter Team. But I will. I have an older PC running as a media center at my TV. I think it would be the perfect place to install the 3 pack.

Oh, cool – those RPGs running through that PC to the TV is perfect, as the game allows for a controller to be used. I played a bit of the two I don’t have on my laptop and they run great. It’s worth that $20 for sure!

Looks amazing!

The graphics are pretty nice but the game is just OK. It’s no Street Fighter 🙂

Heh. I don’t think any of the sumo games I’ve played are fast at all like a Street Fighter or other arcade fighter, as they seem to be mostly simulations or if they do have special moves and crazy stuff, they still follow the rules of the sport to some extent…

Which I think is pretty cool. I like the special crazy moves cause it is a video game but at the same time I still like that they wanted it to feel like Sumo wrestling too.

Yeah, I really do too. Good artwork is enough to get me excited about a new addition to the collection!

cool ^^ mostly for me as well, but lately I’ve been becoming more picky when it comes to whether I can play the game and enjoy it or not.. I’m just running out of shelf space, so I’m trying to fill the rest with games I will like ;D

That is a good desicion. For me I’m buying any Sega Master System or Genesis or Japanese Mega Drive game I can if it’s a good price. But for my NES and SNES collection I’m going to stick to just games I want… unless they look cool and are very cheap.
I only have two book shelves of games and they’re not even full yet! 😛
