Power Move Pro Wrestling (NJPW 闘魂列伝 "Toukon Retsuden" or "Furious Legend" in Japan) is a video game developed by Yuke's Co., Ltd. and published by Tomy for the PlayStation.

Gameplay

Power Move Pro Wrestling is a pro wrestling game featuring 12 wrestlers.[2] The original Japanese version of the game was originally a New Japan Pro-Wrestling licensed video game; due to the then-limited popularity of the promotion outside the country, an original roster of wrestlers was created for Power Move Pro Wrestling while retaining NJPW wrestler move sets.[citation needed]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and wrote that "if there was a game that screamed for a WWF license and a US release, this is the one".[2] The same magazine again reviewed the game and gave it three stars out of five, and wrote that "overall, the impact is somewhat less than what we'd hoped for from a U.S. port, but Power Move Wrestling is still a solid game and an enjoyable distraction".[3]
