WCW World Championship Wrestling NES Secrets and History | Generation Gap Gaming - By the spring of 1990, the NES was no stranger to wrestling games, with many fans touting both Nintendo’s Pro Wrestling and Tecmo World Wrestling as the top two wrestling titles ever released on the system. And while I agree with that statement, real life wrestling fans in this era including myself, were still waiting on an NES game that successfully blended the actual larger than life stars we watched on television with our beloved Nintendo consoles.

We know that high and mighty promotion to the North called the WWF had already released Wrestlemania for the NES in January of 1989, but it’s a fair argument that this game didn’t meet its full potential.

But if you were from the South or happened to have the TBS superstation growing up, you were probably just as much of a fan of World Championship Wrestling and its iconic wrestlers like Ric Flair, Sting, and of course the Road Warriors.

The team at WCW finally decided to enter the video game universe when World Championship Wrestling released on the NES in April of 1990 and featured many of the critical elements that make pro wrestling appealing to its fanbase.

Now rest assured that we will discuss the strategies and tips needed to help you succeed in this game, but no development story behind a Southern wrasslin promotion’s video game would be complete without a little backstage drama, politics, and croneyism that greatly influenced the final product that ended up in our living rooms. And I can’t wait to share all the secrets and history here with you now so let’s get started! #WCW #NES #ProWrestling #WorldChampionshipWrestling #80s
