In Japan, Game Machine listed WWF WrestleFest on their Decemissue as being the third most-popular arcade at the time. It went on to be the highest-grossing arcade conversion kit of 1992 in the United States, according to the Amusement & Music Operators Association (AMOA).


In North America, RePlay reported WWF WrestleFest to be the second most-popular arcade game of the month in October 1991. Each wrestler has their own signature maneuvers. Slaughter, Demolition Smash, and Demolition Crush, are available as new characters, with The Legion of Doom ( Hawk and Animal) making an appearance as a non-selectable boss tag team. Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Earthquake, Mr. Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Big Boss Man return from WWF Superstars. The game features ten selectable wrestlers. Additionally, after a team member has been on the apron for a certain length of time, they will "power up," temporarily giving them the ability to win all grapples and inflict more damage than usual. In this mode, players can perform numerous double team moves. In Saturday Night's Main Event mode, the player must pick two wrestlers to form a tag team and take them through a series of matches, including a title match with the Legion of Doom. In the new Royal Rumble mode, the player picks one superstar and takes him through a Royal Rumble match. The game adds support for up to four simultaneous players and the ability to insert more credits into the machine to buy energy. Just like its predecessor, WrestleFest simulates professional wrestling matches. Slaughter team up against Ultimate Warrior and Big Boss Man.
