Hey guys I was one of the character designers for the main roster of Action Arcade Wrestling. I was trying to recapture the glory days of the wacky legally distinct characters of the arcade days of the past along with some of the classic gimmicks you would find in the territory days, and I hope I managed to recapture at least a little bit of that magic. Jacques Hammer being the Canadian strongman, Krimson Klaw being an LOD knockoff, and Rockin' Ronnie being an oh so subtle tribute to the Rock n Roll express to name a few. My favorite that I've made was Biohazard, a total Big Van Vader clone. He was an original character of mine since the PS1 and N64 days of wrestling creation, so it's pretty awesome to finally have him on an official roster of a wrestling game. I'm so happy you enjoyed the game. It was done by a small team of two people that poured their heart and soul into it. You guys should check out the creation software for Steam. It's completely free and anything that gets uploaded from it can be used on any version of the game. Except wrestlers based on Nintendo properties. Nintendo themselves blacklisted them from showing up on Switch. Sorry to crush your dreams of having a Smash Battle Royale. Keep up the awesome reviews. This channel is criminally underrated.
Thank you and the team that made Action Arcade Wrestling!! It captures the zany gimmick era towards the end of territories and in to “The New Generation” We were blown away by the community creations, and will have to check the Steam create a wrestler suite! Maybe even TL Hopper… in denim suspenders and a red hat… Also thank you for the kind words, we appreciate it! We just try to remember that 500 hours of content is uploaded to RUclips every minute that people get to choose from. So if 1 person watches it in the first hour, we beat out 30,000 hours of other content as their choice! Now time work on that Action Arcade Ahmed Johnson!
I couldnt agree less about Wrestling Empire being that low. The 2nd worst wrestling game on the Switch? I watched this whole video and you griped way more about other games than that one. Wrestling Empire is some of the most fun I've had in a wrestling game.
Thanks for the comment. We encourage people to speak their mind. We see things differently and if you really want to blame someone blame Walley. We will review Wrestling Empire for all consoles as we move through the decades, so keep watching for when that comes out.
Wrestling Empire is fantastic. On mobile its my favourite ever wrestling game. Universe mode is awesome. Controls are fine once youre used to them. When you switch all the names over to the correct ones, the game is brilliant.
Thanks for the advice on Wrestling Empire. Walley keeps being a jerk about the game but comments from people may convince him to spend more time on it and change his mind.
Wrestling Empire is freaking amazing, it's like a wrestling sandbox and the system makes for bumps and reversals you'll never see in any other game. There's some stuff done in this game thst I wish even the 2K games would adopt.
I keep telling Walley to give it another try and all he does is go back to AEW on Switch, which for the price Wrestling Empire is worth the value. Maybe Walley will come around and join all of us who see the depth of the game. Thanks for the comment and watching.
Aew fight forever is the best on the switch, but would not have been if 2k18 was decent on it. Really hopeful that Ultra Pro Wrestling will take the crown when it arrives
As of now AEW is the best on the switch. Just like you we are hopeful Ultra Pro Wrestling comes through. It reminds us of a lot of classic games melded into one. Crossing fingers on this one. Thanks for the comment and keep watching for future videos.
There are very few good wrestling games on Switch. Those run good on the switch and enjoyable, but Walley still is not a fan of Wrestling Empire. Maybe if he played more he would understand the fun it is. Thanks for the comment and keep watching for future videos.
We both agree. It is playable on steam Deck but having on the Switch would be awesome!!! Thanks for the comment and keep watching for videos coming in the future.
Man, to think the Nintendo Switch got 2 WWE 2K games and no Fire Pro games tells me all I need to know why I never bought a Switch. Well, that, and I want to save the money for the one day I buy a Steam Deck.
A steam deck is well worth the money, at least for me. Fire Pro World always goes on sale on steam and it runs great on the deck! But I’m biased because my steam cpu was a decade old laptop 🤣 Thanks for checking out the video and commenting, we appreciate it!
Rating the games based on pricing rather than quality is weird and confusing. The list makes no sense when prices are constantly changing and going on sale. The ranking should be on quality as a game only.
Thanks for the comment @arostwocents. Great point about price fluctuation. Corbett buys a cheap game and likes it then thinks it’s the greatest game ever made, just because he got it for $1. Keep watching we have more to come and look forward to hearing more from people.
I love this channel and try to tell as many people about it as I can. I made a sign to promote this channel at different wrestling shows. Don't give up guys!
I had to make sure we didn’t say Wrestling Empire on PS4 🤦♂️… not saying we would do such a thing 😂. With AEW getting patched and maybe getting roster updates, 2K proper not on switch, looks like Ultra Pro wrestling is the only new wrestling game on the horizon for Switch.
Yeah, the switch is pretty bad with many games and genres and wrestling games are so bad in it, the only ones that are good imo are Retromania and Wrestling Empire. I have a gba and Fire Pro Wrestling, it's worth buying that rather than any wrestling game on the switch. Really wish they would port Fire Pro Wrestling World on the switch but oh well.
We feel your pain. We love the switch and think Fire Pro World would be awesome on it. Fire Pro series is one of our favorites. Can always hope for the Switch 2 to improve the wrestling black hole. Thanks for the comment and keep watching.
Great Question!!! We have not been able to unlock any hidden characters in Bang Pro Wrestling on the Switch. We did find this link in Reddit and working on seeing if this worked.

@@vgwaworldmost of the video is talking about prices, it's stupid and comes across like you are the most tight fisted creators in history. You'd rather buy a bad game than a much better game to save a few quid? A terrible nes game is right at the top as it's free? Wtf. The games should get ranked on quality only. Really bad video.
"just because its free its not my number one, its only no2 cause its free" but the game is truly awful. It's insane to be that greedy and tight that you rank a bad nes game no2. Why make a video on the switch when you spend the whole thing talking about how you buy on ps4 instead? What's the point? By the end of this video I've literally gone from about to sub to switching channel to "never show me content from this channel again." Truly truly awful video that comes across as shitting on switch and its fans. Insulting and offensive.
I do play the arcade wrestling on the Xbox one I don't have a switch. Is a very good online create your own wrestler community and also I do enjoy retro Mania. I wish revolution Wrestling and I wish all those games are available on every system
I do really enjoy the custom characters that I play as in arcade Action Wrestling on the Xbox One or I can play a Starman King muscle superheroes video game characters all great pro wrestlers that's a lot of fun really enjoy the moves all these video games you mention are great
The CAW of Action Arcade blew me away, I played a bit on the PS4 version when it was released but non of the edit features. Another title I can’t wait to sink my teeth deeper into!
Thank you for watching! With something like 500 hours of content being released on RUclips every minute, we appreciate you chose to watch our video! We appreciate it!
I stopped watching after I saw wrestling empire ranked second to last…. I mean yes you got WWE2k18 spot on for last but come on! Wrestling empire is fantastic. I still find it hard to believe one person made it.
Mat Dickie should be proud of the achievement of making Wrestling Empire and here at VGWA we wish there were more games like this. Blame Walley for the 2nd place since he talked Cobrettie into it. Thanks for watching and hope you come back and watch. We do encourage everyone to voice their opinion. We are not perfect but we are big fans of wrestling video games and wrestling.
Can’t believe we missed that! I have arcade archives on steam and didn’t know it’s on switch! I do t know about Walley, but that game is number 1 on my list! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
It is the downside of the Switch. Maybe the Switch 2 will change that persona. Crossing fingers. Though, Steam Deck does a decent job of portable wrestling games. Thanks for the comment and continue to check out the channel.
Not many wrestling games on the switch would be good to keep all you can especially the lack of 2K games. Don’t worry 2k24 is not coming to Switch. Maybe whenever the Switch 2 comes out.????? Thanks for watching and the comment. Look forward to hearing from the viewers.
We cover the really bad as well as the great. 2k18 is noted to be horrible on switch. Unfortunately, digital version was removed from the Nintendo Shop. At least there are other wrestling games to play. Thanks for the comment and keep watching for future videos.
That would be a smart move for the Nintendo Switch. Those were some of the great games to play back then. Thanks for the comment and keep watching there will be a new video in the near future.
How dare you rate wrestling empire that low At least put it above Action Arcade Wrestling, that game kinda sucks. Boxy Wrestling is okay, decent enough customization and cute artstyle. Just wish it had more than 4 arenas and an exhibition mode
Thanks for the comment and we encourage everyone to speak their mind. What we think is never set in stone. Plus blame Walley. Keep an eye out we will review Wrestling Empire in the near future and that is the best time to torment Walley. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Wrestling empire is the worst wrestling game EVER made! Deleted it, wish I could get my money back! I guess that's what I get for listening to rgt85, have unsub him since then!!!

Free is always the best.

Battlegrounds having the wrestlers as figures in packets is amazing
That is a great concept the design team came up with. It even feels like you are at the store spending money on one of the toy characters.
