RetroMania Wrestling Now Official Sequel to WrestleFest – Mat Mania DLC Planned

]Retrosoft Studios announced today that they have been working with Arc System Works, the owner of many Technos IPs, to become the official sequel to
Wrestlefest. The latter was an iconic early '90s WWF game and one that has remained a blast to play even today. Its pick up and play gameplay led to things like an iOS reimagining being released, but that didn't quite please fans with its iffy controls and hollow gameplay. Retrosoft saw that there was a demand for a game like Wrestlefest and announced RetroMania Wrestling as a spiritual successor until today. Now, it officially carries on the lineage of Superstars and Wrestlefest, at least as much as it can without having original code or development team members on-board.

This is awesome news. I'm a huge fan of the original 1991 Technos arcade game Wrestlefest. It's probably my favorite wrestling arcade game. I had a chance to play RetroMania Wrestling at the Too Many Games Expo earlier this year for a few minutes and it plays great. I also got a chance to meet the team lead from Retrosoft Studios. They seem like genuine fans. This must be so cool for them. I've been casually following the development, and it looks awesome. Can't wait to play it. It's coming out on all the major platforms sometime in 2020. If you are an arcade wrestling fan and like fun pick-up and play gameplay or love Wrestlefest, you should check this game out.

Always down for a new wrestling game.

But lol at the "remember these popular characters from back then...well you can't play with them initially...but pay us more later on and you can"
