Arm Wrestling (Japanese: アーム・レスリング Aamu Resuringu) is a 1985 arcade game by Nintendo and a spin-off of the boxing game Punch-Out!!. Since it was created by the same development team who made Punch-Out!!, Arm Wrestling features many of the same features such as a dual monitor system and quirky computer opponents.
[edit] Gameplay
The object of the game is to become the World Arm Wrestling Champion. In order to achieve this title the player must compete against six different computer opponents and pin them in a timed match. A match begins when the player taps left on the joystick. During the match the player must attack the computer by pressing right on the joystick and tapping the button to increase the power of the attack. If the computer makes a strange face it means they are about to counterattack. In order to win a match the player must move the joystick back and forth and surprise the computer before they have a chance to counterattack. After the player beats the sixth and final opponent the game begins again with increased difficulty.
