WWF Royal Rumble

Posted on | September 21, 2009 |

WWF Royal Rumble is the latest entry to our list of the Best SNES Games Ever.In 1993 I bought WWF Royal Rumble brand new on Super Nintendo for a whopping $80 at a Toys R’ Us in Westport, Connecticut. Considering video games typically cost half that amount today, WWF Royal Rumble was a hot game to say the least and a must-own for me then. Looking back at my youth, I could have logged more hours playing WWF Royal Rumble over any other video game.

WWF Royal Rumble had everything a wrestling fan could have asked for in a wrestling video game. All the popular wrestlers were included with their signature finishing maneuvers and virtually every type of match was there. To say WWF Royal Rumble is an addictive game would be to say Michael Jordan is only a good basketball player.

My friends and I would tabulate match victories, who held what belt, and various other statistics in a notebook that I would do just about anything to get my hands on again. Nostalgia urges me find this notebook somehow which no doubt holds many more Super Nintendo glories. WWF Royal Rumble was one of the first wrestling games I can remember that allowed use of a steel chair and having other wrestlers came in from locker room to disrupt matches.

Wikipedia points out that “an interesting feature was that a wrestler could be thrown off a cage but the character would be able to get right up. This flaw ignores the fact that the fall would be over 10ft and almost surely would cause serious injury to most people.” Dear brianiac who wrote this, you’re missing the point and you’re a total ass.

WWF Royal Rumble is securely in our list of the Best SNES Games Ever.
