You don’t need to be a member of Kai En Tai to realize this game is choppy, choppy.
I mean, every move got, like, four frames of animation, and this one made the cut?
…and every body slam requires your opponent to perform a sky twister press.Īt no point during the animation process did any of the artists wonder why in the world they’d need to draw a wrestler crouched like a frog in mid-air during a simple scoop slam? As a consequence, every vertical suplex looks like an F5… Every single time a wrestler drops to the mat, he has to fall sideways and land with his feet to the hard cam. Granted, I, like many wrestling fans, have always wanted to see Bam Bam work those traps and wiggle that pert little ass of his in video game form, but it ends up looking completely silly in practice. The World’s floating torsos.Īnd if you think the game looks bad standing still, you won’t know the half of it until you’ve see these barrel-chested brawlers in “motion”. King of the Ring‘s badly-proportioned sprites, which appear to have been drawn free-hand, are far and away the most grotesque character models in any wrestling game I’ve seen…
So I have to respect LJN for creating a new wrestling game for the NES in November 1993, two entire years after the Super Nintendo was first released and rendered the old console obsolete.īut I don’t have to respect them for putting out the most hideous wrestling game the world has ever seen.
I still haven’t gotten around to whatever came after Playstation 2, and it’s the year after 2017, for Pete’s sake! We were a Super Nintendo household until Christmas 1997, and resisted upgrading from a Playstation to a Playstation 2 until Christmas 2003. Growing up, we always clung to our old systems well past the point when game developers stopped supporting it. I have to admit that when it comes to video game consoles, I’ve never been an early adopter.
