Personal review

Now this is an interesting concept. "SD Battle Oozumou: Heisei Hero Basho" is a sumo game with SD characters from several popular anime and tv series. Gundam, Ultraman, Kamen Rider and the Super Sentai series "Choushinsei Flashman". You can play with five characters from each series and two original Banpresto characters, which makes a total of 22 characters. That sounds much, but I could not find out any differences in playing them. The gameplay did not appeal to me. It plays like any other sumo game on the NES and its totally average. Despite the interesting and wacky scenario this game could not make me a fan of sumo wrestling.
