Item Description

Few wrestling games look as much like their source material as Ultimate Muscle: Legends vs. New Generation. Its cel-shaded wrestlers are drawn to closely match the manga art of Kinnikuman Nisei, the series American kids knew as Ultimate Muscle from its Saturday morning cartoon, and every bout plays out like an episode of the show: outrageous characters, impossible holds and finishers that would break every law of physics in a real ring.

The premise sets two eras against each other. Decades after King Muscle and the Muscle League saved Earth, the villains are back, and the veteran trainer Meat decides to pit the Legends against the New Generation to settle once and for all which is strongest. That means dream matches between Kid Muscle, his father King Muscle and the champions of both eras, with the Legends fighting in their younger bodies so the old guard can go toe to toe with their kids' generation. A Story mode follows that rivalry, and split-screen multiplayer brings a friend into the ring.

The developer is the reason this is more than a quick anime tie-in. AKI Corporation is the studio behind the Nintendo 64 wrestling favorites WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy, and that grappling pedigree carried over to Bandai's license. Critics noticed: the game earned generally favorable reviews, and GameSpot named it the best GameCube game of June 2003, the month it reached North America after its Japanese debut the previous November.

The Kinnikuman universe first reached American players back in the NES days through Bandai's M.U.S.C.L.E., and this GameCube release brought it back with the full anime treatment. Its follow-up, Galactic Wrestling, moved to the PlayStation 2, which makes Legends vs. New Generation the Ultimate Muscle game for Nintendo fans and a delightfully strange corner of the GameCube's fighting lineup, and a wrestling game with personality to spare.

About the game

Many years ago, King Muscle and the legendary Muscle League saved the people of Earth by battling against an evil horde of villains who were attempting to conquer the planet. After 28 years, the evil villains have returned, but this time the "Legends" can't fight them alone. They need help from a whole new group of younger super-heroes - the New Generation. Now, the wise and experienced trainer of both generations, Meat, has decided to pit the two generations against each other to decide once and for all which generation is the strongest of all time.
