Galactic Wrestling: Featuring Ultimate Muscle

The sequel to Kinnikuman Nisei: Legends vs. New Generation. This game features many more characters, but loses the story mode and the create-a-wrestler features. Still, it's a fun game with simple gameplay.

Regional Differences#

Licensed Music#

The Japanese release uses songs from the Kinnikuman and Kinnikuman Nisei anime series. The opening cinematic plays "Kinnikuman Go Fight," the menu plays "Hustle Muscle," and the end credits plays "Kinnikuman of Flames." These tracks are replaced with generic music in the US version.

Title Screen#

The US version uses a different title screen when a completely new game is started. Once all characters are unlocked, it switches to an image similar to the Japanese title screen (but keeps the American title and logo). Interestingly, the voiceover for the US game says, "Ultimate Muscle Generations," which implies the title change came late into production.

Default Roster#

The default characters are different between the two versions. The US version has 24 characters locked while the Japanese version only has 15.

Name Changes#

Many character names changed between the Japanese and US releases of the game. If this also included attack names and the names of characters only listed in the kinkeshi figures, the list would be insane.

Altered Wrestler Designs#

A few wrestlers had minor modifications to their designs, visible in both their models and in-game renders:

• Terryman, Ramenman, Skullduggery and Vance McMadd's forehead markings were removed, as well as Meat's, who appears in the Options menu.
• Brocken Jr. and Jaeger had the "Bjr" and "BJ" letters on their collars removed.
• Blackhole no longer has "BH" letters on his chest.
• Neptuneman and Street Scrapper's hair colors were altered, possibly to lessen their resemblance to Hulk Hogan. Neptuneman's hair is a light brown color, while Street Scrapper's hair is dark brown.
• Buffalo Rampage's devil mark on his chest was removed.
