This Is Amazing. Thirty Year Old Never Before Seen WCW Nintendo Game Discovered

It’s not exactly 2K. Wrestling and video games go hand in hand like mittens in mittens. Fans are going to want to play a game as their favorite wrestlers that they see on TV and that makes for a long list of combinations. Today’s games have more details than you could ever possibly complete but that wasn’t always the case. As it turns out, there’s a brand new way to see what wrestling games used to be like.

According to a new article on WWE.com, YouTuber Archon1981 recently purchased a review copy of an unreleased WCW video game for the original Nintendo Entertainment System, dated from 1989. The game is titled UWC, which likely means Universal Wrestling Corporation, which served as the original name for World Championship Wrestling when Ted Turner bought the company in 1987. Some names included were the Road Warriors, Sting, Ric Flair, Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane.

Like any video game, there is a way to see the game. Check out some game play footage:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that fascinates me as it’s literally been around for thirty years and almost no one has ever seen the thing. WCW may have become a joke over the years but it had a long history and some of the more unique names are included. That’s the kind of thing that doesn’t get to happen very often and seeing it so long after the company’s heyday is very cool.
