Technōs Japan had plenty of wrestling fans on staff, and the developers would
frequent shows together after work, which would serve as inspiration. Fighting
games had begun to take off, so the studio was tasked with creating its own
inspired game.

Hey everyone, check it out! Two more that I worked on :) These are completely different translations from the Retro Brawler Bundle versions on the Switch, and I did my absolute damnedest to make sure that full-length names for characters, skills, and items were in place for both games.
