Weak delete - I'm aware that this game was only released in Japan, and before the internet existed, but unless Japanese coverage can be found somewhere, I don't think this is notable. Japanese games were released all the time in that time, and there is no indication as to what makes it notable compared to the others (other than it was made by Sega).

Comment - The game seems to be the earliest example of the "wrestling video game" which is a whole subgenre of sports games today. Reliable sources like this claim as much. But I don't see much significant coverage. If any exists (and I suspect it might) it's probably only in old Japanese print sources from the 1980s. -Thibbs (talk) 13:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Weak keep I'm inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to something released in Japan only in pre-internet days that sources aren't going to be immediately easy to find and might not be in English at all. We tend to keep just about any commercially released video game, and Sega games would nearly always be notable. 76.27.170.21 (talk) 04:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC) — 76.27.170.21 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
