Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 on N64 is one of those wrestling games that just feels right—like the developers actually watched real matches before making it. The grappling system’s way deeper than you’d expect, with chain wrestling that makes every counter and reversal matter. At first, I kept button-mashing like it was WWF No Mercy, but once you slow down and learn the timing, it clicks.
The roster’s stacked with Japanese legends (and some sneaky edits if you know where to look), and the customization’s wild—you can tweak everything from tights to move sets. Matches flow so smoothly that even the basic strikes have weight behind them. It’s the kind of game where you’ll lose an hour just testing suplex variations in practice mode.
If you’re into wrestling games at all, this one’s a hidden gem that holds up way better than it has any right to.
