It's no secret that we're a big fan of Homestar Runner here at Famicom Dojo, so when Vinnk had the chance to see a live wrestling match in Fukuoka he donned his finest Strong Bad shirt, and instantly made friends with American wrestlers Rip Byson and Perry Von Vicious after they spotted his totally awesome attire. It turns out Perry is a bit of a retro game fan to boot; it must be fate!
We talk with Perry about the decline of wresting games from the Famicom and NES era to today, and the rebirth of 16-bit inspired beat 'em ups in the form of TMNT Shredder's Revenge, the rerelease of the Scott Pilgrim game after it was taken off digital shelves, and more!
