NEWS - June 1994...
WCW and Capcom have teamed up to create a twinned pair of arcade fighting games, WCW Nitro and WCW Thunder. The gameplay is very much like Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters released last year, with one-on-one fighter style mechanics combined with pins and submissions. A unique feature is that alongside separate Nitro and Thunder cabinets, special conjoined cabinets have been made, with Nitro and Thunder next to each other. If players are playing against each other on Nitro and Thunder cabinets, they can face off against each other in inter-brand matches.
Each of Nitro and Thunder has 12 different wrestlers playable.
Nitro: Ric Flair, Sting, Scott Steiner, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Dan Severn, Octagon, El Dandy, Brian Pillman, Chris Candido, Fatu, Samu
Singles Campaign Champion: Ric Flair / Tag Team Campaign Champions: Samoan SWAT Team
Thunder: Randy Savage, Vader, Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Cactus Jack, Eddie Guerrero, Rayo de Jalisco, Dustin Rhodes, Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn, Booker T, Stevie Ray
Singles Campaign Champion: Vader / Tag Team Campaign Champions: Harlem Heat
