WWF WrestleFest WWF WrestleFest is a professional wrestling arcade game released by Technos in 1991 , featuring stars of the World Wrestling Federation . The game was distributed by Technōs in Japan and North America and by Tecmo in Europe and Australasia . It is the sequel to Technōs ' previous WWF game , " WWF Superstars " . Compared to " Superstars " , " WrestleFest " adds a variety of different wrestlers to the roster as well as enhanced graphics and sound . There are more voice samples , including commentary and pre - match introductions by WWF ring announcer Mike McGuirk . The voiced cut scenes featuring Gene Okerlund from " Superstars " returned as well . On February 21 , 2012 , THQ released a remake of the game for iOS featuring both current and former wrestlers , retitled WWE WrestleFest . Features . Like " Superstars " before it , the game features many of the trademark moves and taunts of the featured WWF Superstars . The game also allows the player to insert more credits into the machine to buy energy — a feature similar to one used in an earlier Technos release , " The Combatribes " . " Wrestlefest " included a new Royal Rumble mode as well as four - player simultaneous play . There are also voice samples , including commentary and pre - match introductions by WWF ring announcer Mike McGuirk . The voiced cut scenes featuring Gene Okerlund from " Superstars " returned as well . Gameplay . Gameplay in " WrestleFest " is similar to its predecessor . In Saturday Night ' s Main Event mode , the player must pick two wrestlers to form a tag team and take them through a series of matches , including a title match with the unplayable Legion of Doom . After winning the title match , the player must once again take their team through a series of matches and finally defeat the Legion of Doom a second time to complete the game . Players can perform numerous double - team moves by tagging their partner with the opponent in the proper position or tagging while holding the opponent in a headlock . Additionally , after a team member has been on the apron for a certain length of time , they will " power up , " temporarily giving them the ability to win all grapples and inflict more damage than usual . In Royal Rumble mode , the player picks one superstar and takes him through a Royal Rumble match . Elimination occurs by pinfall , submission , or being thrown out of the ring . Before a new wrestler enters the match , an insert of the wrestler taunting in front of a camera appears on screen . The moveset in " WrestleFest " differs from " WWF Superstars " in that more than one maneuver is assigned to each control combination , and these vary widely among the characters . For example , Ted DiBiase may respond to the " punch " button during a grapple by performing a backbreaker , a piledriver , a suplex , or his Million Dollar Dream finisher . The move he performs depends partially on a CPU " variety " sequence and on the energy level of the opponent . Featured wrestlers . In the original version , Demolition must be selected as a team in Main Event mode , and can not be teamed with any other playable characters . Under emulation , however , cheat codes were created that allow the player to team Smash or Crush with other characters . Hawk and Animal are not initially selectable in the arcade version , but cheat codes exist to allow them to be playable ( both together and separately ) under emulation . A second player can also " buy - in " to the game while the first player battles Legion of Doom in the Main Event mode , allowing them to control Hawk and Animal and continue playing as them if they win the two - player match . Hawk and Animal both have twice as much energy as the other characters . All playable characters can perform their familiar finishing maneuvers when the opponent is weakened enough . The Legion of Doom can perform their team finisher , the Doomsday Device ; however , if the move is not set up in a precise area of the ring , Hawk will not go to the top rope , and the timer will have to be allowed to run out or the game will need to be reset . The Demolition Decapitation finisher does not appear in the game . Instead , Smash and Crush perform a suplex and a tilt - a - whirl backbreaker , respectively , as finishers . Remake .
