Rumbling Super Stars

Do you remember the thrill of stepping into the arcade as a kid, hearing the roar of the crowd and the iconic entrance music of your favorite WWF wrestlers? WWF Superstars, released by Technos Japan in 1989, was the game that brought all of that action to life.

It was the first WWF arcade game, and it had everything: real WWF legends, their signature moves, and even their classic entrance poses. You could tag team up with two of the six iconic wrestlers, including Hulk Hogan—whose name and size paid homage to the TV superhero, The Hulk. And who could forget Big Boss Man, the larger-than-life character inspired by his real-life background as a corrections officer, complete with his law enforcement uniform?

One of the best parts? You didn’t have to stick to just the ring. You could take the fight outside, grab a folding chair, and really make it feel like the wild, no-holds-barred chaos of WWF. This was was pure WWF entertainment, filled with all the drama and action. It was so popular that by January 1990, it topped the arcade charts in North America.

Although our work on the schematics will still take at least five more weeks to finish, we have now enough to make JTWWFSS, an FPGA core compatible with WWF SuperStars. It enters the beta phase for all platforms roday

Lamar Fiddy

Thank you for taking the time to report it. We have created an issue to track it on GitHub. https://github.com/jotego/jtcores/issues/805 Let us look into it.

JOTEGO

Yay WWF SuperStars!! Tho, I am confused about the button setup. On the title screen is references Button A (1P vs CPU), B (1P vs 2P) and C (1P/2P vs CPU). So far, I have only been able to get Start to do anything (regardless of number of non-zero credits entered), appearing to be tired to Button A. In the button setup it references Right Attack, Left Attack and Jump. During game play, Ive only been able to notice (Left Attack) Punch and (Jump) Kick with no Jump (Right Attack doing nothing)... Am I just missing something? How do you start different game modes? As I said before I am VERY HAPPY with what you have brought to the table, and look forward to new (often refreshing memories) game options to play (again)!!

LL

the yellow JT image bleeds on the right side of the screen on WWF with the new update?

John murray

Same here. Not sure what's going on with that.

Grant Kerber

Played through WWF Superstars and had an absolute blast. Thanks so much for getting it working. It's amazing seeing all of those wrestlers in Tecmo house style, with some beautifully drawn frames of animation.

Mysterious Benefactor

I always use the merged set, that way it works with the alternative versions, I'm not sure what set I have.

Big Al.

Yes, on the right side.

SlowedHarmony71

Anyone getting a red line horizontal on wwf superstars ?

Wayne

Pocket updater fetches all relevant roms ie wwf superstars

Wayne

Is the mame romset from the merged .217 set?

Joey

Update all doesn't download roms

taal.M

add the rom manually if that happens.

Big Al.

Thanks a lot JT for another great update. Good to see another Technos title in our FPGAs

Findamember

thanks for these great work - the volume on WWF seems to be exceptionally low?

John Perry

Did the same thing for me with Moonwalker … I’m thinking something is going on with the ROM repository …. Needed to download the Moonwalker ROM old school to get it to work. For now recommend getting the ROM manually.

Adam Davis

For sure dude, totally agree 🤙🏼

Adam Davis

For some reason, Update all is having some kind of error getting the mame rom for WWFSuperstars. I'm thinking it has something to do with the respiratory from where it's linked.

Joey

OMG - any light gun support is much appreciated kind sir and JT team. Got myself a Sinden just for the MiSTer and it’s so so so so so good.

Turboman UK

Same thing for me, I have the same error message. For jt circus too. Too bad..

David Nicolet

This is an all time classic game for me, grew up playing it in the arcades as a kid. Thank you so much Jotego. Every release is bringing Nostalgia Ultra

MEM3NTO

Great JTFriday !

AlxUnderBase

Thanks for fixing SF2X!

sixtyfps

Nice release! That was the best Wrestling time period

Richard Maxey

Thanks so much for this! Any chance you will make your own core for Wrestlefest since the current core apparently isn't coming to Mister?

Tim Oaks

Looking forward to seeing support for the Sinden lightgun!

Rafael

Looking forward to Sinden Light Gun game support!

Bart394

Thank you, I'll be patient. As long as it's not just me.

Rick S.

MAME251 if that helps

Dick Hardpill

I get the same error and I checked the usual download location and the file does not appear to be there. Sometimes they get pulled for one reason or another. My only suggestion is to have patience and it should be available soon. Though the usual place may be changing soon. ETA- I found an archive of MAME 251... wwfsstarua.zip needs to be renamed to wwfsstar.zip and put in /media/fat/games/mame. Watching the attract mode right now.

Dick Hardpill

I still get the error. other arcade cores are fine, just this new one has an erroe.

Rick S.

You guys did it again, thank you!

OldManBog

Thank you !

Shannon Thomasson

I can’t find the WWF game? Also, has anyone seen Joust?

Nathan Michael Hardie

It didn't download the rom. Re run update all

RetroMister

when I try to run WWF Superstars, i get an error games/mame/wwfsstar.zip/24j3-0.24j3--0.119 not found

Rick S.

OMG, Steel Gunner on Namco System 2 would be so much fun woth guns on mister thank you so much for the update, gonna take the analogue Pocket to a wrestle fan friend of mine tommorrow see what he thinks😁

Mat Azel

amazing work as always one of my fav games.. having problems with sound seems very low? am i messing something to make it louder?

James Wyld

JT doesn’t supply the roms, if Update All isn’t working, you’ll have to find them yourself and instal manually.

JC

Wow, Xmas is early this year ... thanks a lot, i'm so glad to have Wwf Superstars AND Speed rumbler on the analogue pocket I believe Speed rumbler is a fantastic bad known game (well, it deserves more recognition) Just a word about Wwf, the game is only a 2 buttons game, so it's not needed to have 3 buttons configuration (I know, it's beta phase) Thanks again !!!

Adrien Duchemole

WWF SuperStars was one of my arcade favorites when I was a kid and I have more time with it later via emulation. Thanks for the core and all your efforts towards preservation of the classics!

Michael Deutsch

Edson Souza

good news on the sinden support front, much appreciated

Christian Bailey

Brilliant!

Hiddenbyleaves

Having issues with update all getting the roms

Michael Johnson

Huge update!

Ronald Dean

Thank you for reporting it! That one had slipped through the cracks!

JOTEGO

Sinden support is great news!! Hopefully one day we will be able to use them with CRTs.

Mike V.

Great update, have a great weekend.

Big Al.

Wow wwf superstars. My first was wwf wrestlefest. Looking forward to see what's happening

Marc SE

Magic - love the JT Friday show! Get shooting those Sinden guns!!!

Michael Johnson

Very cool on the Sinden stuff! I've got 2, although my Mister is hooked up mainly to a CRT now days.

Charles Dreiss

The jtmidres core isn’t on Pocket yet, so not quite at parity with MiSTer yet.

Espiox

Does the rom have an English region? I'd love to be able to read the bios they gave in the wrestling game.

Daniel Thomas Stack

Awesome to hear about future Sinden support, my first Sinden is on its way.

Rick S.
