Retromania Wrestling for Nintendo Switch Is The BEST Switch Wrestling Game!

Nintendo Switch owners haven't had much in the wrestling department. Games like WWE 2K18 were unplayable, and Wrestling Empire is fun but feels more like a beat em up. Retromania Wrestling is the sequel to WWF Wrestlefest, and it more than lives up to it's pedigree!

IT'S FINALLY HERE! Let's take a look at Retromania Wrestling for the Nintendo Switch! Enjoy the vid cuz I get a lil emo at the end. lol

[@GoandLove]

Man, I’m getting this game purely because you are so excited about it 😂

[@kaspervletter290]

I am gonna buy it You did do a good preview

[@Uhhhhh1188]

!Bias incoming!

[@Thefly-vh8tv]

Any differences between the Xbox and Switch versions? Thanks

[@darrenarendsz4889]

Great video rgt85, great👍😀

[@RetroTube1982]

Someone should make a game like this that's heavy on CAWs. Don't even need to bother getting real wrestler licenses, just give us a good Create a Wrestler mode and we can take it from there, like the Fire Pro series.

[@danbei2232]

Agreed, Super Mega Baseball needs to make wrestling and hockey!

[@juliusthompson9306]

Yep!

[@GOJOWrestling]

Yes yes yes yes

[@BarryChub]

you answered yourself, they did make a game like this heavy on caws, fire pro wrestling world...

[@KingGamerSiam]

Definitely!!, they should make a game like this and just fill it up with caw things, I was very disappointed to know that this game didn’t have a creation mode

[@StevieRichardsFitness]

Great review as always. We are happy to have someone as passionate as you enjoying the game.

[@morbidslayer666]

ECW!!!

[@robbell5116]

OH MY GOD IT'S STEVIE RICHARDS

[@Calanight7]

So cool to see RGT85 in the game. That right there is worth the price of admission.

[@borisiskov4184]

Is this the real Stevie Richards? If so where is the Da Blue Guy ?

[@derekcurtis818]

I heard about it from RGT. I beat the story and I am loving it! The game plays so well. I can't wait to start seeing dlc for it! Hope they keep adding more and more wrestlers KZbinrs you name it. Definitely a great buy!!!!

[@harpforGod]

Bro not only are you in a video game; you have your own ring. Respect

I don't know is buying it now or wait for the physical copy... As a wrestling fan I need a wrestling game for my Switch... I need this. But most important, congrats for being in the game dude!! Happy for you! :D

@@Wolfie1262 - I did and like I stated I was inquiring because it did not seem clear. I was watching on the train where it was noisy and the connection interfered with the video play, so I did initially miss the section where they came up.

[@galacticbreakdown2804]

Just bought this at work and am just now getting home to download. Super excited, with a lack of Fire Pro this seems like the next best thing.

[@richardbarth918]

Fire pro on switch would be great. I would take a straight port of world.

[@noneofyourbusiness1114]

Legit why isn't fire pro on switch?!?!? I pre ordered this but still.

[@BZUscuro2028]

Don't this game give u a firepro feel? Only thing missing is online and cars.

[@tylerbaldwin337]

I've been telling friends of mine about wrestlefest for ages and they all thought I was crazy so pumped for this

[@derekcurtis818]

Heck ya!! This is a great game. Can't wait to see it's future potential!

[@dmonsef]

Pretty cool to have yourself and your logo implemented into a video game! Congrats! 👏

[@nazukeoya]

This dev studio needs to completely remake the WCW games on the N64 from years ago. Those games plus these OG graphics on the Switch would be amazing!

[@QueenGraves]

I’m downloading this immediately I’ve been waiting for this game, the first person I’m picking is Zack Sabre Jr

[@BrentAlanRoss]

yeah dude, wrestlefest is my favorite game and this lives up to that and more. I got the special edition switch case, the steam version, and will get the limited run switch version as well. Excited to see what the future holds with DLC.

[@brendonm2316]

I was waiting for your review and i can't wait to play this after work

How is there not a sub or roast beef on RGT's booth table?

[@hooflung128]

Blasphemy it is then...

[@iamnothuman27]

Dude I'm definitely supporting this game. Looks good. And rgt85 in it. Definitely getting it

[@mike818mike]

I just bought it , not just because im a wrestling fan but because i get all my nintendo news from RGT85 . dope to see RGT85's logo in the middle of the ring plus it gives me another reason to use my arcade stick

[@BristolMatt]

The devs seem really cool. i wasnt going to buy this game as i havnt watch wrestling since i was a kid 30 years ago. Because the devs have been so cool though i will pick this one up! Respect.

[@CadusBane]

Can’t believe how good it is! Also after all these years I can finally play as LOD! Proud to be a preorder backer! It was worth it.

[@emmanuelkotei649]

The graphics look beautiful, I love the art style

[@danielrecommends]

Congrats on being in the official sequel of Wrestlefest. I love this game. I have the Steam and Switch versions. I can't wait for the limited run physical copy to finally be announced. This game really is loads of fun but does have a learning curve.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

They still haven't updated this godforsaken roster.. It really sucks because I absolutely won't buy it until they do..

[@punkrockbassist44]

Wrestling Empire was more appealing to me due to the insane amount of depth in regards to the Career Mode and CAWs. Happy to see more wrestling on Switch though regardless!

[@acsysin]

Same

[@posthuman84]

This is awesome. It kinda looks like it plays similarly to Raw is War from the snes/genesis era (which is my 2nd fave wrestling game ever lol). I’m torn between getting this or Wrestling Empire. Congrats on the cameo :)

[@frophat]

Congrats on your cameo! That’s so rad!

[@borisiskov4184]

Should have brought back the old intro "omg it's Stevie Richards"

Holy crap! I didn’t know that about the pinning in tag matches.

Ive been waiting for something like this as WWF WrestleFest was one of my ALL-TIME favorite arcade games! Waiting for the physical copy for Switch and I will be buying day one. Thanks again RGT! You are awesome! Ric Flair baby!!! Whoa!!!!

[@dacienfelice2993]

RGT85 is an official videogame character on Nintendo Switch, it's canonically true.

The roster doesn't justify the purchase. The Blue Meanie? Nah...

OMG Stevie Richards is awesome to hear again. Can you do one video with that intro! OMG STEVIE RICHARDS = Views.

[@heath1980hv]

Just bought it right now for my xbox and now my son wants it for his switch, I'm really enjoying the game so far.

I just got my download code today and I am LOVING this game! Retromania Wrestling is a whole lot of fun and I'm looking forward to DLC in the future! Kinda sucks we don't have online play, but it's all good! Finally a good wrestling game next to Fire Pro Wrestling World! Also, congrats again for having your own themed ring and making a cameo on the game, Shawn!

[@CrossFam4Life]

Bro that's sick about the ring. Just got my code from Mike. Keep killin it.

[@Wolfie1262]

Wrestlefest is my favorite arcade game ever. And it had the same tag team thing when you pinned someone, you’d play as your teammate to block the other player from breaking the hold. I’m getting the physical edition, no question. And you dissin’ on Wood 🪵

Ever since you stopped using the Stevie Richards intro, it’s easy to forget what a big wrestling fan you are. I would love to see some more wrestling content on your channel. The amount of demographic crossover between wrestling and video games has always been staggering to me, so I’m sure most people would feel the same way.

What’s Stevie Richards doing in the RGT 85 ZONE?!?!

[@raybarrett3025]

Actions do not look or feel fluid enough. Mat Mania is decades old and can hold its own with this game with ease. Mat Mania is only $8 and it can deliver! Forget these fancy licenses, as other commenters have said, and give fans a real wrestling experience. I truly admire the time the developers put into the game but, I would buy it and it would go unplayed after a few hours.
