(Annoyingly, this does that thing where the Western digital storefronts use the English name but the English ROM isn't included. I can sort-of see the logic, but it can be a little confusing. At the very least, this game has no text to translate so it's not a problem like The Big Pro Wrestling! had)

(This is listed on English digital storefronts under the Data East-distributed English version, Tag Team Wrestling, but that version isn't included, so I'm using its Japanese name so people don't get their hopes up. This has happened before with ACA releases but it's not something I'm a fan of)

This week's Arcade Archives release is The Big Pro Wrestling! The first arcade wrestling game, from Technōs, a tag team match with a menu-based move select system!

Unfortunately, no English ROM- the move names are in Japanese only!

Out of nowhere, Digital Pinball: Last Gladiators is getting a Steam rerelease! This KAZe-developed Sega Saturn pinball game had four original tables and was a real gem for the system, so a modern rerelease is wonderful!
