Kane had burn face under the mask in this game! Lol 😂

THQ made the same games over and over with different logos. We fell for it and they were all awesome

A remake of the Holy trinity of AKI wrestling games (Revenge, WM 2000, and No Mercy) would be much appreciated. Better yet, merge all the games together, and we'll get the Invasion angle we should have gotten.

I remember when I was 7 playing this for the first time, my friend brought it over and the first match I was stone cold going against Kane, the match went on for like 20 minutes ha it was epic near falls and shit, defeated him with a 3rd stone cold stunner. Awesome memories!!!

I love this & No Mercy almost equally. The two WCW games that predated them are also amazing.

Wrestlemainia 2000 and WCW/NWO Revenge are the 2 best wrestling games for N64 in my opinion.

better than any 2k games now

Aside WWF War Zone and ECW Hardcore Revolution, almost every wrestling games for the N64 were great solid wrestling title.

I love the intro to this game. Lots of iconic wrestling images in 64 bit glory

I’ll never forget it. When I returned to becoming a wrestling fan in 2018, that’s when I heard of the AKI games for the first time and I decided to give them a try. I bought this game and No Mercy before realizing it was the broken, glitchy version, and I had A LOT of fun with them. I know these were first, but me playing the Day of Reckoning games before hand, I was like “No Way!”, this is the same engine and I felt right at home. The graphics didn’t distract me too much as the gameplay was super good. That’s when I got my motto nowadays, “Gameplay over graphics”. Still have fun with them today. Great games for sure.

Although No Mercy came out after this..this is still my all time favorite wrestling game. So much fun all these years later it's still just as badass as it was damn near 20 years ago. Lol

You failed to mention the best part of the game -that you can hand hand pick every single strike, move, and taunt that your wrestler does. Nothing better than making your own themed wrestlers with ninja moves, for example, or just putting all the most badass looking moves you can find onto a created wrestler.

This game is my childhood since 1999

People will never understand how hype it was to finally get titantron videos.

As a 7 year old when this came out, some of the best times of my life were playing this game.

I liked that that the rumble had the option to be able to choose pinfall as a way to eliminate other wrestlers

Man this era was something special. Those N64 wrestling games were all I played for a while on the N64 I never liked the PS wrestling games in comparison. The SmackDown games had more features but it was super arcadey so I preferred the N64 games and playing the game was more fun when I could have classic matches with my favorite wrestlers

many hours of entertainment. til no mercy came out..

I wish the modern games till had the extensive ability to edit the appearance of the roster members.

Love this review! This game owned my soul upon release! I remember not going to high school for a month and just staying home and playing this. I edited every character to their exact week-to-week specifications. This was it for me. The animations, roster, belts, and of course gameplay cement this as the greatest WWE/WWF/THQ game ever released! Here Comes the Pain, and UFC 09 are second and thirds but nowhere close to this!

The “button-ology” and move/character customization is my favorite, haven’t made a better wrestling game since!

Another GREAT feature is the fact that whichever superstar is out first, you can see them outside the ring. It would take another 10 years before that was the norm

My all time favorite WWF game!!

I played this game all the time. The true GOAT of wrestling games

Some might not remember but you did in the video. If you change the music on Billy Gunn (Mr. Ass) to Road Dogg (Oh You Didn't Know) they would came out together

It's sad this guy has to sit here and tell kids that not everything is HD and pristine graphics. This was back when everything had to be awesome or else you could go out of business

what a great game. we played this for hours... a game anyone could play and so many modes... feature packed to say the least.

Feels like yesterday I was going on the Game Informer website to see the new character reveal each day. 21 years ago now...

I remember letting a friend borrow this in the summer of 2000 and never getting it back :(

If only Anus Slam was a real WWE pay per view event . . .

This game is so iconic because it was so ahead of its time especially when it shows Kane and Triple H 😲 like you can see that image of cane in real life in this game in 2000 I mean hell they even got the gloves right on Kane and the beard on triple h 😱

My favorite wrestling game of all time

This game was pure gold when it came out. We played it for hours and it never got old. Of course that was way back then.

I love how triple H’s name is just written as HHH lol the best thing about this game and it’s counterparts that the new wrestling games are missing are modes like road to wrestle mania where ur not just wrestling guy after guy but there’s also story beats and run ins and promos

I never owned Wrestlemania 2000 for Nintendo 64 but after watching this review I had to buy it just a couple of days ago online and a memory card to lol

Probably the best wrestling game I've ever played. Countless created wrestlers and made up stables.

My favorite wrestling game of all time.

My childhood.

I liked the cartoony look of this and no mercy for whatever reason

Here’s where my wrestling gaming stopped and I’m not mad cause in my heart it’s still the BEST WRESTLING GAME EVER MADE!

Attitude had really good audio and full entrance themes so really this should have had it but it’s all good this game is awesome

@nikateen you forgot to mention virtual pro wrestling 2. Wrestermania 2000 ripped it off from them.

3:15 you're damn right and we don't want that quality on the N64

My favorite wrestling game from then will always be WCW/nWo Revenge. This game is equally as good...but the other holds/held more nostalgia. Wrestlers are the difference basically..

Why was Owen removed, BUT was in Attitude?!!!

The trons are almost like gifs. Hell I think gifs would've been an upgrade. Just put them in a tron border and don't full screen them. But man they were awesome back in the day. Gamecube had built in DiVx not sure if Yuke's took advantage or knew how. Nintendo is known for the third party cold shoulder.

The way you went crazy for the titantron videos was me when svr 2010 or 11 added the minitrons lol

The good ole days

I missed out on all these N64 games because I didn’t understand how to hold the controller.

Great game, No Mercy was better in every way except for the occasional slowdown and the glitch that erased your save.

These amazing looking moves are what happens when you get good animators instead of just motion capping them They're all designed to look like they hurt without actually hurting anybody, so when you motion capture wrestling moves they're missing all impact

Great game, but i do remember laughing my head off at just how high the cage was in this game. Like 30ft..

Great retrospective quality.

I'll never ever forget this game. I remember it was a gift and 3 days before xmas I opened it carefully and played it then rewrapped it. My wrapping skills were trash as I was 12 years old lol but it was worth every ass whipping I got from my parents haha

This was an amazing video game.......

Thanx , I've heard that before , a lot of other reviewers said these were awesome back in the day but I'll be on the lookout online or basically at any game stores that sell vintage games in my area , if there are any left . A lot of them closed down unfortunatly by the way thanks for the info on the prices for the games

from WCW to WWF to Def Jam to Ultimate Muscle... From the Man Breeze to Aki Corporation... Amazing, isn't it?

I was a big fan of the eliminations in the Royal Rumble mode. Using strong strikes and apron grapples felt more authentic than the 'mash the buttons' mini games that came in later wrestling games. It's a shame the AKI games were the only ones to use this system, as it could of been picked up and developed upon further down the line, in the SvR series for example. Also, the threat of possibly being eliminated at anytime with one well timed strong strike in the right position of the ring really added to the feel of the dangers of being in a Royal Rumble match, rather than just making sure you don't take too much damage so you can easily win a 'mash the buttons' scenario.

Pros Great Roster Road To Wrestlemania Good Unlockables The Intro Fun Gameplay The Realistic Move Animations Best Looking Finishers Create-A-Wrestler Entrances Cons Tag Teams Come Separately

Uh Nikateen, where exactly in the instruction manual does it say that you can switch on pinfalls for the cage match?

My first wrestling game and thank God. What a journey it’s been.

I've got this game running on my 64 right now. Fixin' to play it in a few. I lost my old cartridge (or someone stole it), so I had to buy a new one, and I have to start from scratch. But the first thing I did was fill up all the CAW slots! Right now, I'm gonna continue on my Road to Wrestlemania with Kane so I can unlock HBK! To this day, WM2000 has my favorite roster EVER. That's why I prefer it over "No Mercy"... also because I'm an entrance guy, and WM2000 has FULL entrances. The only game that comes close is WWE 2K14... which I haven't actually played yet. The only one that comes close that I actually own is SvR 2006. But I'll have 2K14 soon enough!

20 years and counting This game and No Mercy are still the undisputed champions!💯 This is coming from a guy who is a diehard SVR 2006 & 2007 fan (because of GM Mode😃) and a guy who spent countless hours on Here Comes The Pain. I went back to almost nightly before bed to play at least 2-3 matches on my N64! It's crazy, but the other current games just don't have it like that!💯 2k19 is dope and I play it a few times a week in some capacity but it doesn't have the it factor of No Mercy imo.

Wwe 13 and 14 was really fun to play and the story mode were good play to

I remember renting this game and my brothers and I spend hours playing this game and when a new game store open in my arena this was the first video game I brought it's a must have for all fans of n64

This game ,no mercy and hctp are my top 3 favorite wrestling games of all time

I've always wondered something. Playing this as a kid, I remember seeing an Inferno Match during the opening video. Can you actually do an Inferno Match in this game?? I never found out, since I never got too far into the game before selling my N64.

Oh yeah! I was around back then and I was excited when I saw the promo for this, I was 9 years old in 99 and I had to get this game. None of the graphics bothered me, I was happy we got titantrons and managers out to the ring lol.

I loved this game! Still better than any game 2K has released

Revenge. 2000. No mercy are a hell of alot better then the other ones.

2:33 They foreshadowed Undertaker bald, and Kane bald

These wrestling games in 2018 should just use the game play and spirit meters that they used then. I think it would be better than a power meter

0:35 "kill me"

A bald kane and that attire wow they saw the future lol kane wouldn't look like that for another six years

I loved WM 2000 on GBC

You should do WWE WrestleMania X8, WrestleMania XIX, DAY Of Reckoning, Day Of Reckoning II. That's if you have it/play

I was so happy when WWF finally left Akklaim and went to THQ. Such a better game

I still want to buy a Japanese n64 and Japanese to PS1 just to play the Virtual Pro Wrestling games. For example. WCW vs the World on PS1 had an exclusive version in Japan and so did World Tour. But World Tour in Japan had guys like Vader and Bam Bam Bigalow and Dr. D Steve Willams. Strange how USA got the same games but with different characters and stuff.

0:24 best part of this entire video

i meant 2 say luna who was present on wwf raw 1994, was also present that year, and around the time this game came out.

Do wrestlers make thier entrance with the Championship? Also you said that there is a create a belt mode? How do you access that

I dunno but if u ask me, the part at [[2:18]] u cant really say that no one is really missing from the roster. because examples could include tag teams like the oddities is missing, luna vachon (who was present on wwf raw 1994 ljn/flying edge/acclaim) is missing, etc. but then again all your questions could then be answered by simply filling the edit player cusom slots.

Best wrestling game.

Kinda like wwf attitude , and ecw hardcore revolution, ecw just slapped their logo on the same game. Even the mic in hardcore revolution still has the wwf logo on it. that always surprised me that they missed that.

The cage match was good but there is one big AI fake..... If you go to the corner of the cage (say between north and east side for example) you can begin climbing the north side and then switch to the east side and the opponent AI just continues shaking the north side which does nothing to stop you winning.

Dude the graphics were great at the time! I mean as good as any other N64 game and besides that it was able to handle 4 simultaneous players at once! I bought this when I was like 15, and f’n loved it!!

I used to be scared of undertaker and Kane on this game as a kid.

Nice review , sorry I don't have as much to say as normally , I never got a chance to play any of the wcw or wwf n64 games lol but still like the reviews as usual

WrestleMania 2000 is my favorite wrestling game of all Time

I think wrestlemania has better gameplay than no mercy. No mercy always lagged for no reason.

I remember fighting my opponents outside of the ring and getting them to count out so i get a fast win! Lots. Of times.

I’m playing this rite now how do you do specials I’m mankind I hit the joystick special meter lites up I pull out socko grab opponent and do a regular move? No help online just says hit joystick?

Gangrel lol I forgot about that guy

Haha! Love how there foot twitches it's the little things lol.

Solid review. These games blew the Acclaim games out of the water.

AKI games still have the best wrestling animations and it was 17 years ago.

Nik you got the HDMI converter for your n64?? Wanna play no mercy again properly but it looks awful on my TV. Very pixelated etc. Wondering why yours looks better is it a MOD that you’re playing on your PC? Cheers man Love the channel

These graphics were awesome for their time.

I’m sorry but the create a wrestler was a huge part of this game and you made it sound like it was just an average add on. There were plenty of faces that could be used to make WWF wrestlers who weren’t in the game, as well as make a multitude of WCW wrestlers since their move sets and taunts were in the game. First one I made was Goldberg and I was able to make his moves more accurate than what was in WCW vs NWO Revenge. The CAW in this game was amazing.

This gameplay is better than WWE 2K
