Gameplay

Queen of Queens uses FMV to achieve its unique gameplay style, all moves are initiated by button combinations, after being input a short movie will play showing the success or failure of the move. Matches can be won via either pinfall or submission. A stamina meter is present in addition to a regenerating health bar. The stamina bar restricts the pace of gameplay and the player must replenish in order to hit further moves.

Disc A features two gameplay modes, "League Mode" a round-robin tournament and single "Vs Mode". Disc B features the same options as Disc A but with an additional "Scenario mode". In scenario mode your chosen wrestler is challenged to prove that she is the best pro wrestler by defeating the wrestlers of the invading KWP promotion.

Roster

The game features two distinct rosters made up of All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling talent on disc A & B, and fictional combatants from "KWP" on disc B only.

Lioness Asuka appears as the non-playable hostess of Queen of Queens' tutorial section.
