Collector interest

AKI and Asmik Ace Japanese November 2000 edition of Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 Oudou Keishou, a Nintendo 64 exclusive never released outside Japan. The cartridge technically shares its base with the Western WWF No Mercy but with a fully licensed All Japan Pro Wrestling roster. Its rarity rests on a short Japanese run at the very end of the N64 cycle and on the absence of export, which makes it one of the most contested wrestling cartridges on the platform.

Better with friends

Japanese pro wrestling of great finesse where the hold builds through ground chains, reads and timing rather than mashing. The one-on-one rewards patience and move knowledge, in a tense rivalry that mimics a true ring duel. Demanding for newcomers, it offers the initiated clashes of rare intensity and a deep technical pleasure.

Is Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 - Oudou Keishou still worth playing in 2026?

AKI's Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is the peak of Japanese puroresu on N64. An extended roster of puroresu stars, the AKI engine at its absolute height and near total fidelity to Japanese federations build a wrestling sim of rare depth. The precision of holds, the body damage radiation system and the edit mode remain references. Japan-only, the title asks for some menu help but the gameplay speaks universally. For hardcore wrestling and AKI engine fans, still one of the N64's most respected sports carts today.
