How it plays
Matches are viewed from a side-on perspective in a single arena rather than a traditional ring simulation. Players weaken opponents with strikes, grabs, throws, running attacks, and occasional objects or ring interactions before pinning them or otherwise winning the bout.
Tag Team mode uses partner assists and team-based matchups, while Royal Rumble mode places wrestlers into a larger elimination contest. Victories advance the player through increasingly demanding matches, with stamina, timing, and crowd-facing special attacks shaping progression.
Plan your run
Learn the timing of the basic strike and grapple rather than repeatedly attacking. A successful grab can create opportunities for throws, while running attacks are useful when an opponent is recovering.
In tag matches, avoid leaving the partner exposed for too long and use team positioning to control the arena. Against large wrestlers, attack after their missed moves and keep enough room to escape corners.

WWF WrestleFest is a 1991 arcade wrestling game developed and published by Technōs Japan. It combines professional-wrestling presentation with the side-scrolling action style associated with the developer’s arcade beat 'em ups. Players select recognizable WWF wrestlers and fight through matches using punches, grapples, throws, running attacks, and environmental interaction. The game offers both a tag-team mode and a Royal Rumble-style singles mode, giving it different tactical rhythms. Its bright character animation, licensed roster, and energetic two-player action made it a well-regarded early-1990s wrestling arcade game, although its controls and collision rules can take time to master.
