Used to love Pro Wrestling. Simple game, but it had just enough depth to let you build your own little dramatic scenarios. Always thought it was neat that you could beat the tar out of someone on the concrete and win by countout. Jumping off the top rope felt great too

Nabbed a Japanese copy of Quest 64 for my Analogue 3D to see just how improved it is over the English version that released 13 months earlier. I said it felt rushed to market - did the Japanese version fix its probs? (Doubt it.)

Still have my copy from back in the day but honestly not sure if I’ve ever finished this? Games like this were kinda hard to play when they were actually new because the GB screen back then was a dark, blurry mess. Looking fwd to giving it another whirl on Switch

Man, dropping these both on the same day is a bit much…but always thankful for more crossover Picross, and I hope these are better than the Namco one
