A Wrestling Bios compilation video looking at the 4 WWF and WCW games released for N64:
WCW nWo World Tour
WCW nWo Revenge
WWF WrestleMania 2000
WWF No Mercy
My parents were super broke we lived in a 2 bedroom apartment for 4 of us and had tv dinners every night but they found a way to get us a N64 and we had all the wrestling games. They really do bring ypu back to a different time.
Sounds like bums
We'll never know what our parents sacrificed for us
@michaelkeller5927 I swear I think about it all the time now that I'm 32. I wonder how they did it when I can't hardly adult someday. 🤣
Yo I'm 32 as well and feel the exact same way lol@@BigSparky1316
Same only a 1 br apartment. 3 boys mother and grandmother. 4 of us slept on the floor in the living room. Eventually upgraded to a 2 bedroom. But also had n64. It wasn’t very expensive. Nintendo was smart.
Scott Norton was a God Tier Character in the WCW games.
Didn't expect a wrestling Bio video at 4:30 in the morning here in Houston. But hey!! Merry Christmas Eve!! Hope you all have a great holiday!!
It's 10:57am here in the UK. 🇬🇧
Same but it’s 3:16 right here in California, OH HELL YEAH ‼️
Hey htown let's get it we love wrestling bios out here
Merry Christmas lads, get that n64 on ❤
H-town holdin it down
The diamond cutter IS in the Japanese game. It's a normal strong grapple move you can do at any time (that way in typical DDP fashion "they'll never see it comin...BANG!"). Anyway big agree on VPW 64. like 60 additional wrestlers, edit mode, corrected movesets/unique moves, the ranking and shoot fight modes etc. VPW 64 was the first game I imported back in 1998 and it got me hooked on Japanese wrestling. Cheers for this great retrospective!
Christmas 97. Got my N64 with wcw/nwo world tour. Such a great childhood memory. It was probably my most anticipated game at the time
Bro I got my N64 with Revenge for Christmas 😂
I just bought a N64 just so I could play these AKI games. Timeless classics! I was literally just playing revenge a couple of hours ago 😂
Revenge was my 1st N64 game. I got the N64 and Revenge for Christmas. Played it after school every day
Coincidentally some of the greatest christmas presents I ever got were these games! Thanks for the upload wrestling bio
I remember pissing off my little sister using the n64 control stick to kick out of every pin...Thanks for the Nostalgia.
Keeping us well entertained this Christmas. Good man yerself
Yes yes yes WCW nWo revenge and 007 Goldeneye. I still remember trying to figure out that snow level where you had to shoot the locks. Man days before TH-cam. 😀😀😀
We used to book whole shows to ppv. We would put the CPU v CPU and announced the show while it went on revenge and wwe games
WWF WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy were the best games imo 🎮.
Will never forget getting an N64 and World Tour for Christmas in 1997. Unless we were asleep, that system was on until winter break was over.
Merry Christmas!!! 🎄
AKI will always be the kings of pro wrestling video games.
Years ago during a trip to the lake, my brother went with my mom to the local Walmart. Turns out they had a video and video game rental shop inside. My brother found VPW for the N64 and brought it to the lake house. We were able to play it on the N64 without any adapters. My mind was blown! I couldn’t believe the number of wrestlers! It was incredible! Needless to say, a lot of my time at the lake was spent playing that game. I have great memories of all of the AKI N64 games. I wish they would have made an ECW one though!
Your description of your love for WCW/nWo World Tour and Goldeneye and that time in your life hit me right in the feels. Revenge too is on this list and 1080 Snowboarding. I was in high school and remember all nighters with buddies. No Stress, No Responsibilities, just amazing memories with friends (some of whom are no longer with us).
WWF No mercy is by far the best wrestling game ever made
I want to agree with you, it's definitely my favourite ever wrestling game, but I wonder if it really does hold up or we're all looking back through rose tinted glasses.
@@dadoubleny82Yeah, to me Revenge is a way better game than No Mercy. Never really understood the hype…
Yes indeed.
@@ProjectSh4dow you probably like the WCW/nWo roster in Revenge more, which I do too. But No Mercy had way more match types, create a wrestler, more moves, the cage, backstage areas you can fight in, branching storyline modes, breakable tables etc. It's definitely the better game.
@dadoubleny82 Nope that's just you No Mercy is still the greatest wrestling game of all time if it wasn't i wouldn't still be playing it in late 2024 almost 2025...... it totally still holds up i play it with my xbox controller threw an emulator
WCW/NWO revenge intro…. Great hype video
This dude convinced me to get the console and the AKI games.
I bought Revenge and WM2000 last week for cheap from a retro shop, No Mercy on the mail, and i just bought the N64 console from a guy in facebook in Sydney.
Back here in Queensland, cant wait for some hours of Horseman Business.
Got No Mercy when it came out. Still got the same cartridge, before the reshipped versions. I never had the erase bug problem. Still got blood and all that. Found one a couple years ago for my son. Brand new (no rust underneath or scratches on cartridge picture, blood, original copy). 48 Bucks including tax. They still out there.
All the other AKI games I found after Covid. Every single one was less than 10 bucks. Get em before they gone forever.
You were one of the lucky ones . Mine erased every time I went to replay it. So I'd spend most of my time redoing every thing all over again. For me No Mercy bit the big one. I did love all of the past versions including the Japanese games.
4.35 in the AM!
Thanks WB, I'm wide awake and here before the bots! Am looking forward to seeing and hearing your takes on these classic N64 games.
It wasn't 430 in the (AM) for him. Idk why you clowns don't realize it was like 10 where he lives.
@@ramrodbldm9876🤣🤣🤣
Merry Muh Fuggin Christmas WB
Stuff like this is pure magic for nostalgia hounds like us. Remembering the "good old days" is one of my favorite past times.
Great games. I had many great times playing these. These were a massive part of my childhood.
If the No Mercy developers didn't get cold feet on the Expansion Pack and had it play as good as WrestleMania 2000, it would be even more perfect...
Oh man, Revenge definitely takes me back. Even though WM2000 and No Mercy pretty much blew it outta the water in terms of modes, moves, match types, and CaW. Revenge will always hold a SPECIAL place in my heart.
I remember playing this with my cousin, who's 2 years older than me and a female, but for some reason she liked to play this game. We'd do the 40 man Battle Royal mode a lot, and she'd pretty much pick Goldberg every time. This and Mario Kart 64 are the only games she played.
Also, just wanna throw this out there cause I thought it was kinda cool and kinda weird, but the "Dake Ken" wrestler had a mallet for a weapon. Pretty sure that was the only weapon he could get, and he was the only character who could use it.
Great stuff as always! I remember World Tour and playing it for the first time. My brother rented it. We played that game for hours. He got it for Christmas. I have my own copy. I have Revenge, Wrestlemania, and No Mercy. I love being able to go back and relive these memories.
I always remember when I was a kid. Every time I had a shitty wek at school, once i got home, I'd always fire up the N64, or whatever consol I felt like playing, and I would turn my brain off, and forget about the cruddy week I had. It was always a good release to play a wrestling game, or a fighting game.
Wasn’t uploaded on my bday but will spending all day today binging wrestling bios
I still have my original versions of Revenge, 2000, and No Mercy. No USA-1 for me. All great games from this era.
As a PlayStation fanboy, i was so envious of my friends with an N64
Why? We had smackdown, a far better game.
WCW vs. NWO World Tour was my first game and how I discovered wrestling, but No Mercy was the game that truly made me fall in love with wrestling and turned me into a lifelong fan.
Man brother when I got WCW vs NWO for Christmas I had no idea how much it would blow my mind. It was like the first time a wrestling game felt right and much like other games on N64, it felt like the brave new world
Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is, IMHO, the best wrestling game I ever played, and the $130 I paid for it (and the 3 month wait for delivery) back in 1999 was well worth it. As much better as Michinoko Pro (essentially VPW 1) is than 'WCW vs the World', VPW2 rates higher for me than wrestlemania 2000 or no mercy. Even without ladders, cages, and tables, the gameplay, roster, 16 open spots for created wrestlers (back in '99, that was AMAZING!), being able to name and defend a belt/title/strap, stuck with me... Find a copy or an emulator of this game, folks- you will NOT regret it!
ECW|NXT N2R 1993 - 2000 and WCW|nWo Starrcade 1983 - 2000 and WWF|DX Wrestle Mania 1985 - 2002
Wasn't planning on sleeping anyway but this proves I made the right choice
imagine if they kept making the AKI games on the PS1. so much potential. more wrestlers? real entrance music … the possibilities but they were N64 exclusive
Smackdowns were better games anyway.
Love the Monday night war dedications. Just showed my friend the channel. Wonder if you can cover the smackdown we went to in our hometown?
August 7, 2003 Smackdown Kelowna
Oh he’s like a Scottish Santa now. Delivering the goods before I wakey ❤
Day of reckoning on the GameCube was my go to game
Man this brings back the magic.. Golden Eye, Mario Kart and these games . Playstation had Bushido Blade, Resident Evil and Need For Speed 2 . INCREDIBLE time to be a kid
Ultra Pro Wrestling brought me here!
*Merry Christmas*
My favorite games when I had my N64. I loved Revenge so much and played it every day after school
Merry Christmas you filthy animals.... and a happy new year.
For me power move was the best. I remember my buddy got a ps1 in like 97 or 98 for Christmas with like 20 games. One being powermove and we fn loved it. Area 51 was my guy ! This was a much needed ride down memory lane
I didn’t expect a 4:30 am drop😮
Revenge still rocks on my 64 lol ❤ I used to love Cruis'n USA and its sequels also
This reminds me of when I got wrestlemania 2000 for n64 on Christmas one year. Good times.
They were the best made for their time so much fun when you had a few people over the game play still stands up today as well give me that any day over the 2k rubbish
Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is my favorite AKI game.
Merry Christmas 🎅 Your The Best 👌
King of Colleseum 2 on the PS2 also has a crowd rating section in its season type mode called “Victory road” - highly recommended. There’s also a English translation patch/version.
I had WCW Vs The World on playstation and I loved it. What brings me back to easier times more than anything though is Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2. My best friend came over to my house every night after school until we beat each of them when they came out.
My first ps1 game was WCW vs. The World. And ironically I remember renting a n64 with World Tour as well.
I have no idea if these games were actually good but I loved them
love the street fighter analogy.
That missed leg drop by Hogan was great programming. Wow.
I dunno if Wiki is trolling me but apparently AKI was originally called The Man Breeze and is now known as 'syn Sophia' lower case 's' and all.
The latter is true, don't know about the Man Breeze though.
Not sure why y'all's friends were bullshittin but we went from the wcw games to 2000 and straight to No Mercy. No Mercy felt like the pinnacle for us for sure. Love all of them though.
I remember randomly renting Wrestlemania 2000 after trying out WWF Attitude. Attitude was a hoot but I didn't take it super seriously as a video game. When I played Wrestlemania 2000, everything just clicked. I wanted to do everything. Create my own character. Go through the singleplayer campaign. Unlock all the characters. Everything. The campaign was admittedly simple but it worked just well enough.
I do remember the entrances being much better in WM2000 but also the performance was better in that game compared to No Mercy. So, for those reasons someone might prefer WM2000, but No Mercy is still my favorite.
If WCW/NWO revenge had the proper entrance music that would of made that game even more epic. There’s a video on TH-cam somebody compressed the actual entrance themes it’s amazing.
1:47 Overdose was an opponent you could play? He is the one thing that most wrestlers got beat by. The ultimate endboss.
All this talk of GameShark is making me feel old as hell 😂
These games were great. Large rosters. Easy controls. All good.
The trumpets on the instrumental wcw world tour 🎉🎉🎉
Joe Bruiser was absolutely ridiculous in World Tour.
I remember playing this for the 1st time at my brothers house as a kid then going home feeling like I made the wrong choice in consoles as I loaded war zone on my ps1 😂
i swear wcw revenge was just about as popular as goldeneye when i was a kid
AEW and MLW and NWA and ROH and TNA and AJPW and NJPW and AAA and CMLL and NOAH and WWC and ZERO - 01
I don't ever recall commenting on the initial videos, so I am going to now.
I got World Tour for Christmas 1997, and Revenge for my birthday in October 1998.
My save data is still working to this day, and I loved renaming everyone as the years went on.
I renamed Juventud as "Juvenstooge" and Malenko as "Stinko Malenko" thanks to Jericho in both cases at the time. I later renamed The Giant as "Big Show" for obvious reasons.
As time went on, my dark humor hit me big time. I renamed Curt Hennig to "Dead" and Chris Benoit to "Also Dead". I never touched Eddie for some reason.
I also changed several of the "fictional wrestlers" names as well. Ming Chee became "Penis" Executioner bacame "DDP 2.0" as he has the Diamond Cutter in his regular moveset, and Brickowski I named after my now absolute best friend as he looks just like him, as good as Revenge could make him look anyway.
I changed the names of several other wrestlers to joke names as well, but I am drawing a blank at the moment.
As always though......
WCW FOR LIFE!!!!!
I got revenge for Christmas.I loved every minute and I love it good times
In my opinion wrestlemania 2000's best upgrade from wcw world tour n revenge is performing your finisher will allow you to get the 1-2-3 whereas the wcw games more often than not performing your finisher will not end the match. However the road to wrestlemania is pretty cool when it allows your character to have singles matches n ultimately win the championship belt. The biggest flaw in road to wrestlemania is being forced to play way too many tag matches that become really repetitive n boring very quickly. My absolute favorite game here is no mercy the options you get with no mercy is great like create a wrestler mode the gaining money in game to unlock all the unlockables in the game. The games mode variety is the best in all these games covered. The biggest problem i had with no mercy is playing the main story modes seemed to be too easy to me even when id raise the difficulty to the max. In conclusion i really enjoyed all these games n at the time they were as good as wrestling games available in this era i absolutely loved playing them all growing up ❤.
I like playing and speedrunning wrestling games
AEW Flight Forever is basically their WCW/nWo World Tour. I hope they can build on that foundation. It was totally missing that AKI-style intro. If they do a sequel, I hope that reference the Revenge intro. Sting even has a legends contract. And how did they not do an AKI-man style AEW Man, I just don't know.
Perfect 👍
Still the greatest wrestling games of all time.
Wrestling bios are our daddy
I love these games, i also love WWE 12,13 and 14 for 360. Once 2k sunk their hooks into wwe it hasnt been the same. I will never give 2k credit for WWE 14 like they try to claim.
My online/gamer tag online came from a match with my cousin WCW vs NWO. It reminded of us of ECW and Chris Candido. BackinBlack, my own nwo, and I am the anchor of the that organization. They call me PoWeR
PERFECT
OMNIPOTENT
WONDERFUL
EXTRAORDINARY
RIGHTEOUS
POWER 😂
Hi Wrestling Bios, can you please take a look at Wrestlemania X 64 ?
Classic wrestling game
I have Revenge as 3rd best. It was good, but the lack of CAW, the 2 choices of entrance themes, and how the entrance way shrinks when wrestlers get to the ring, docks serious points. WrestleMania 2K is a VERY solid 2nd. The robust creation options, FULL entrances, and its replay value puts it over Revenge easily. And of course, No Mercy sits comfortably at #1
God I wish someone could/would give these games the recompilation treatment (Look up Majoras Mask recompiled)
All of these can easily get a remake
1.5 hrs of AKI by WB ❤❤🎅
2 strongest specials (as i remember) kevin Nash jacknife powerbomb and glaciers super kick
Heck yeah
More Video Games please !!!!
WM 2000 was my favourite and the best game idgaf
I Remember Purchasing WCW vs nWo World Tour I Had My First Part Time Job I Bought The Game First Then Bought a Nintendo 64 Then in 98 I Bought WCW nWo Revenge I Had So Many Fun Memories Playing Revenge With My Friends I Also Have WWF Wrestlemania 2000 And WWF No Mercy I Don't Know Why WWF Wrestlemania 2000 Road To Wrestlemania is So Hard To Unlocked All Hidden Characters This Mode Will Make You Rage Quit No Mercy is Much Better Story Mode Is Good and Fun From Start To Finished Now You Gotta Talk About WCW Saturday Night And WWF Wrestlemania X Both WWF Wrestlemania 2000 Mods You Could Actually Play These On Actual N64 Hardware Made By Gm Spectre I Played Both And There Really Good
i came into wrestling from playing warzone first before ever watching wwf, the same time I discovered games like mortal Kombat, street fighter etc that all had rosters of unique characters with deep backgrounds and lore and i had always looked at wwf superstars the same, but i can never properly explain it this to anyone, to me, as a crude e.g. goldust was akin to Yoshimitsu. I cant see this in modern day wrestling anymore, it seemed to die around 2001-2003? i dont know if anyone understands what im trying to explain at all
I probably had a usa 1 variety and sold it ages ago
Still waiting on that Rey mysterio jr wcw bio
I think subbed dbz is better though 😂
Don't get the no mercy love.
Smackdown was a much, much better game. I had a ps1, brother had an n64, but we played smackdown for a reason.
Its funny i got a xbox series x and alot of current gen games but i still go back to play No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000 & WCW-NWO Revenge on my n64 emulator on my chromecast these Wrestling are still addicting in 2024. Thats how you know modern gaming sucks and boring lol
You forgot Star Fox bud!
I received wcw/nwo for Xmas one year. I stopped watching wrestling a long time ago but this game brought me back into the fold. I have so many great memories of playing with my brothers and one night I saw Nitro appear in the menu of DirecTV and started back on the wrestling journey.
Psst! "Shaman" was overpowered. Lol
Havnt we seen this multiple times before ???
You know this guy has marks as fans. Reliving the war is the worst series on yt
@@ramrodbldm9876then why are you here? You must be a trump supporter
@@ramrodbldm9876why is it the worst?
Shhh this one’s better
The timing crazy I played wcw feel the bang all night yesterday
