So, we’ve come to Konami’s entry in the genre of pro wrestling games. Rumble Roses is an all-female wrestling game, which is something that existed for a while. Most of these games never left Japan, which is a shame in some cases. This is a tamer version of some of the other female wrestling gamesContinue reading “Rumble Roses is Good but Not Great”

I consider them to be average games on the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. The Game Boy conversions are a different matter altogether. There was no way the developers could portContinue reading “WWF Attitude on the Game Boy Color is a Good Version of the Game”
