Our Expert Score

72/100

3 Count Bout is a fascinating relic from the 1993 NeoGeo library, now perfectly preserved in the ACA series. It's a professional wrestling game that leans heavily into the 'arcade' feel—think high-octane action over realistic simulation. The sprites are massive and well-detailed, capturing that classic SNK grit. It’s a bit more 'button-mashy' than modern fighters, but it has a unique charm, especially with the street-fight levels that involve weapons.

Playing this on mobile is made significantly easier thanks to the emulation features. The ability to save states and customize the virtual pad helps mitigate the difficulty spikes typical of 90s arcade games. It’s not the deepest wrestling game ever made, but for a hit of nostalgia or a quick session of over-the-top grappling, it delivers exactly what it promises.
