Back in 2007, while the Smackdown vs Raw series was going strong, while we were just happy with what we were getting every year, THQ and Yukes decided to do something that looking back, was AWESOME. Just 3 months after the release of Smackdown vs Raw 2009, we got another full feature WWE game release. In March of 2009, THQ and Yukes dropped WWE Legends of WrestleMania. A game that was all about celebrating the past, for the first time the WWE games were truly celebrating nostalgia. A whole game dedicated to the legends of WrestleMania, not a mode, not just SOME wrestlers in a game.. but the whole game. It is a game that as time went on, is often forgotten, so I thought why not now in 2023, go back in time and take a look back at this game, a game that honestly changed the wrestling game landscape, we just did not notice. Ladies and gentlemen.. lets take A Look Back at Legends of WrestleMania

Brother, you absolutely fucking nailed it! As someone who spent 1991 and 1992 playing Wrestlefest at the local arcade and then would head home to play Royal Rumble on SNES, that's what this game was, a game that captures the period perfectly. I love this game. Three things. 1. The way the game allows you to use managers and how they insert themselves into the matches is awesome. 2. Spot on, this game seeded the modern Showcase Mode. 3. Dude you weren't alive to live the Wrestlefest Era but your review is so damn good. Hats off to you for understanding the context and capturing what this game is all about.

@WrestlinGifs Жыл бұрын

Wow! I’m so happy somebody from that era found this video. I can only imagine the nostalgia this game brings you aha. Thank you so much for the kind words and watching. It’s funny I wasn’t alive for that era, but in the early 2000s, the first wrestling game I ever had was Wrestlemania for the NES lol. I got a hand me down from some older family friend. I was like 3/4 and just happy to have a wrestling game lol. My question to you is, as a long time wrestling game fan. What would be your all time favorite game? Once again thank you for watching 🙏🏼

@mvagusta Жыл бұрын

@@WrestlinGifs You deserve it cause you knocked it out of the park! The NES game probably explains why you get it. It's impossible to answer your question. I've always found the old school 4 players games to be the most fun. Forget graphics, game play, CAWS.. I'm talking pick and play FUN. Royal Rumble ( SNES), Wrestlefest and WCW v NWO Revenge. Don't let anyone tell you WWF No Mercy. Revenge was released at the height of the Attitude Era. No Mercy didn't come out until 2000 and much of the hype had died. Friday nights were Pizza, N64 and Revenge with 3 of your mates coming over. Hard to top. For that reason I'm looking forward to the new AEW game despite being WWE guy. I think 2K22 on PS5 is massive step in the right diection if they can sort out online. Also, check out my 2K Battlegrounds videos. I've uploaded gameplay from the King of the Battleground mode, which I think is so overlooked. Like Legends of Wrestlemania, this game is hated on but I think King of the Battleground is an absolute scream. Just good old arcade fun.

You might want to look at Legends of Wrestling 2 from 2002. That game handles terribly but it was a legit 80s style territory story mode game with the Jerry Lawler and Andy Kauffman rivalry and it featured Owen Hart.

As a kid who grew up with SvR '07 and '08 as my favorites, this game was an amazingly fun break from the usual. I was always a wrestling history nerd, so getting to play as these wrestlers and live these moments for the first time through gameplay was a ton of fun. This was the first game I ever had the desire to complete, and I got all the achievements for on Xbox 360. I don't know if it was truly designed for a previous generation, but I loved it for the history lesson that it was.

Legends of WrestleMania actually gives me a bit of nostalgia. Sure it wasn't my favorite WWE game to play but it was one I always ended up playing when I wasn't playing the SVR Games. Of course I was playing SVR Games but if I wasn't playing those games I was playing Legends of WrestleMania. It actually was really fun for me personally. It was challenging and playing it with my step brother and older brother was fun as well because we always ended up getting a laugh out of it somehow by joking with each other about who lost the match or whatever. Sure it wasn't the best WWE Game release by far but it's one I look back with fond memories. Great video as always Pav! Keep doing what you do brother 🙏🏽💯

Ah yes, this game. I remember being a kid like 11 or 12 years old when this came out and I was sold on the graphics and how great the crowd and arenas looked. I was like woah this looks awesome! But boy was I disappointed. I agree with everything you said about this game, the controls pissed me off, the way the match flowed pissed me off, and the fact that finishers had the stupid button pressing really just didn't do it for me. Looking back now it's not as terrible as I remember, I did play through the "showcase mode" and I did enjoy that. I feel like it would be awesome to see something like that come out in 2k24, possibly a "40 years of Wrestlemania" mode where you could recreate and rewrite history with new unique cutscenes like this game had back then. It was an underrated game for the time, but definitely not worth the $60 price at launch.

I was such a beast on this game. Got to the top 20s in singles matches online on ps3. I was damn near untouchable using CM's fast stabbing kicks.. I applied those kicks to Bret Hart to never allow an opponent an opening, and then submitted everyone with the sharpshooter. The quick time events were what made this game different and amazing. If you weren't fast enough in those events, you lost. AEW fight forever feels identical to this feel. And also has quicktime events but you have to make it happen rather than it being forced. Buy fight forever!!!

In my opinion, Legends of Wrestlemania is one of my favorite games. I started playing this game a few years ago, and I must say that this is better than 2k15 and 2k20. One of best of this game is that we can import SVR 2009 roster to this game. This game makes it ten times better than playing SVR 2009, even though people preferred the controls from that game. Another reason for enjoying this game is that there are legends that were never featured on any future WWE games like Kamala, Koko B Ware, Junkyard Dog, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, and others. Overall, I don’t care what people say about this game, but I understand that it’s based on their taste of wrestling games in general. My Dad for instance doesn’t mind if the game is not perfect, but seeing the legends brings him a lot of memories.

I have two reasons for this. 1) A SuperEyepatchWolf video basically revealed how Anime is actually Wrestling, because despite... literally everything about them being different, they have too many similar themes and storytelling styles to them 2) a couple years ago I got into the Kinnikuman manga and have been trying to watch the anime. Its basically a Shonen wrestling series with superhuman "Chojin" who at times just straight up fight to the death with wacky powers and techniques. It's an absolutely wild series and not too many people actually talk about it.

I loved how they allowed you to port them onto SVR9

Im saddened by the fact that the import wrestlers feature would never happen in a WWE game today. It wouldn't be free anyway.

My wrestling buddy had this game back in the day. An I tried it out, it was awkward playing it at first. But the more I got the hang of it I enjoyed it. I don’t remember hating it. But I loved all wrestling. I would get this today honestly

I'm unironically a fan of LoWM, it's trying to be its own thing rather than SvR with only legends. Plus the managers actually have a fully fledged purpose compared to most of the other SvRs

Agreed! I also enjoy this game including my Dad. This is the only game in which the the developers did their best on creating unique animations for managers. They should have done it in SVR and 2k games instead of using the same generic manager animations.

I remember playing this game in 2011 when I was 8 with my buddy on my birthday. This was fun for me when I was little 😂

I still play this, best HITC match because you can throw them into the stairs and grab the thumbtacks. Plus you start the match on top of the cell!

The controls I wasn't a big fan of but everything else was really good in my opinion I'm still a fan of wrestling games but I wish they had like a tournament base like Evo and stuff👌🏼🔥💯

This is the first (and to date, one of the few) games I ever got the platinum trophy for. Good times!

I still have my xbox 360 version from 2009! I liked the game back then and still do now! Ordered all the SVR games for the xbox 360, coming today! Can't wait to play them and will definitely import SVR 2009 into the game.

The best feature of this game was transferring your svr09 saved game date with your caw and 09 roster!!

I remember when this game came out I had only a PlayStation 2 and I wanted to play this game so bad and on the trailers it was said that it was available on PlayStation 2 however when it released it was not for PlayStation 2 it was only made for PlayStation 3 so I actually had to wait years down the road to play it myself when I got my own PlayStation 3 in 2013 and I loved all of the Legends so much that I did not care about the game play at the time but looking back on it I do wish that they would have made that arcade-style gameplay an option I repeat an option and left it at the smackdown versus raw gameplay which was amazing amazing in every single way and to me so is this game.
