Judging by the prices in the upper right, I guess it was unreleased on this side of the great pond.

The only wrestling game they need to release on the Virtual Console is Saturday Night Slam Masters.
Unless this one is just as good. I've never played it...
(NCW has Awesome music btw...)

It's a 16 bit wrestling game by Natsume, so the chances are it will play like WWF Road To Wrestlemania, Wrestlemania X8 and WWE Survivor Series for the Game Boy Advance, all of which Natsume also developed.
And all of which sucked.
They have lousy collision detection at the best of times, VERY limited movesets, no real differences inbetween any of the wrestlers aside from their appearances and easy ways to exploit the AI and get cheap victories every time, even on the hardest difficulty setting.
The video above makes this game look very similar to those games as well, a lot of the frames of animation even look the same. I'm a huge wrestling fan but I'm going to hold fire on this one I think...a case of me having given Natsume wrestling games 3 failed chances to impress me already....

I played it again and it's really not as good as I remember it, but still a lot better than the WWF SNES ones.
