That was such a fun (and weird) game for the Cube.

They had one out for the cube? I gotta look for that.

I'm still sad my "friend" stole my copy for NES

[Reilly]

Looks horrible.

....as compared to what other hand-held game?

 

[mrkapawutzis]

So how was the cube version? I was thinking of picking it up recently but I settled for Def Jam which is hard as fuck (I suck at fighting games).

awesome. hilarious.

 

[Fusebox]

Lol, looks like a whole game based around Joachim from Shadow Hearts 2!

 

[Jan]

It´s based on the anime series Kinnikuman . Great and fun anime.

 

[Joico]

Needs more Dik Dik Van Dik.

It's surprisingly good. It's probably my favorite "fighter" on the GameCube and the dialogue is hilarious.

Besides, any game that has a character named Dik Dik Van Dik warrants a purchase.

 

[Helznicht]

So how is the GBA Version?

So how is the GBA Version?

Ok. Less Dik.

 

[jarrod]

Is Aki behind this one too? The handled the GC original but not the PS2 port iirc.

 

[Link316]

hope this is really made by AKI and not just an assumption by jeuxfrance

 

[Grug]

On the subject of wrestling, what ever happened to the Fire Pro series?

The GBA one was fantastic.

The official site doesn't say. Images of the menu bar look a little more like the Cube version from the menu, although it's hard to say.

PSP Version

CUBE Version

PS2 Version

Or maybe not, actually. All of the interfaces are slightly different.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

holy shit! MUSCLE MEN! I haven't seen them in like 18 years! I can't believe they still live... @_@

 

[Fusebox]

He, that cube version looks rad.

 

[EGM92]

I really liked the cube version when I still had the cube, would love to play this on my PS2 but I guess I'll have to settle for the PSP version.

A little off topic, what ever happened to the anime series? I remember FOX played season 1 & 2 but was that all there was?

 

[evil ways]

PS2 version had more wrestlers, more moves, and added gameplay elements but lacked cell shading and the story mode.

Is Aki behind this one too? The handled the GC original but not the PS2 port iirc.

Galactic Wrestling: Featuring Ultimate Muscle
Developer: Aki Corporation | Publisher: Bandai

 

[The Main Event]

I thought the original Ultimate Muscle was pretty bad. Maybe because I'm so used and expected so much the gameplay to be like No Mercy (which isn't at all), but I kept it for like a couple of weeks only to trade it off after since I couldn't really get into it.

The highlight of the game was Kevin Mask though. No one is bigger and better than Kevin Mask.

 

[GG-Duo]

I hate this new Kinnikuman series. That little tuft of hair is sorta disgusting.
