Chiyonofuji no Ōichō: Face Classic Famicom Title
Chiyonofuji no Ōichō is a licensed sumo wrestling simulation supervised by legendary yokozuna Chiyonofuji, published by Face exclusively for the Famicom. Wrestlers compete on the dohyō, executing pushes, sidesteps and special finishing throws to force rivals out of bounds or onto their backs.
Each rikishi features distinct strength, speed and signature grappling techniques. Stamina governs sustained pushing power; hasty charges rapidly deplete energy and create counter openings.
Modes include single exhibition bouts, sequential tournament progression and alternating two-player head-to-head sumo contests.
Face’s clean dohyō visuals and ceremonial tournament background music capture authentic professional sumo atmosphere.
Strategically, consistent tournament victory requires reading rival movement patterns. Blind all-out charges drain stamina and expose the wrestler to simple sidestep throws.
For contemporary Famicom retro sumo collectors, this title is a celebrity-endorsed domestic sumo curio supervised by the iconic grand champion Chiyonofuji.
