Super Fire Pro Wrestling - Queen's Special is one of those deep-cut SNES wrestling games that never made it outside Japan, which is a shame because it’s way more polished than most Western wrestling titles from that era. You’ve got a roster full of joshi (women’s) wrestlers, and the mechanics actually feel weighty—none of that floaty, arcadey nonsense. Grapples matter, reversals are tight, and the pacing makes every match feel like a legit back-and-forth struggle.

First thing you’ll notice? The sprite work is absurdly good for a 16-bit game. These wrestlers move with this weirdly fluid grace, and the ring ropes actually bounce like real ropes. The career mode’s a grind (in a good way), where you start as a rookie and claw your way up through tournaments. Pro tip: don’t skip the training mini-games early on—your stats make or break matches later.

If you’re into wrestling games at all, this one’s a hidden gem worth tracking down.
