The 1991 Technōs arcade classic WWF WrestleFest is making a shocking comeback later this year.
According to Toy Book, the company Big Fun! will be releasing arcade cabinets for your home later this year. Among these will be the classic wrestling game WWF WrestleFest, which is arguably the most popular wrestling arcade game of all time.
Senior Vice President of Global Marketing at Big Fun! Dan Westcott had the following to say to Toy Book regarding WWF WrestleFest coming to homes for the first time.
“It’s a fan-favorite and has never been done before in the home arcade space,” Dan Westcott said.
While pricing for WrestleFest in particular is currently unknown, Big Fun! will be rolling out a collection of home arcade cabinets later this year, ranging from $179.99 to $599.99.
For those unfamiliar with the game, WWF WrestleFest featured two modes, Royal Rumble and Saturday Night’s Main Event.
While Royal Rumble is self-explanatory, Saturday Night’s Main Event allows you to pair up two WWE Superstars to chase after the current Tag Team Champions, Legion of Doom.
The in-game roster is as follows:
- Hulk Hogan
- The Ultimate Warrior
- “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase
- Big Boss Man
- Jake “The Snake” Roberts
- Mr. Perfect
- Earthquake
- Sgt. Slaughter
- Demolition Smash
- Demolition Crush
- Hawk (not playable)
- Animal (not playable)
