Back when love and care was put into video game intros. You can tell whoever made this KNEW what they were doing with the energy of the soundtrack. It's an enjoyable trip to watch.
The best playing mechanic, the best roster in wwe and wrestling history, the cool soundtrack the iconic superstats entrace musics, the rock as the absoulute king of that year 2000 and a game full of his catchprases, the variety of matches and all the things that they improved from wm 2000 game its just pure gold ..the attitude era at its best. 👏
5th grade graduation present year 2000. Moms put the game inside a box inside another box that was inside another box and flipped out once I finally saw this. I stayed up the rest of the night into the early morning playing this.
Swear I told my pops on Christmas Eve I wanted that game. After the stores closed and all, and somehow it was under the Christmas tree the next morning😭
@@kylein9869 I think it was because I hadn't watched much WWE at the time (got the game in 2004) so I wasn't familiar with Jim Ross yet and hadn't heard him say that before
That mark just before 2001 was magical (somewhere between wrestling, cartoons and videogames). Unlike these games, THAT is something that will never be emulated or remastered.....
love this intro so much! I remember first seeing this and being ecstatic to see Jericho get some spotlight here. And, I still pop every time Austin arrives, with that record scratch sound that plays when you access the Main Menu
Anybody that has any doubt who the face of the WWF was at this time, make no mistake, it was the people’s champ. He had the Smackdown video game franchise and he is the main character presented in the intro for No Mercy.
And before him Shawn Michaels from 1995-97 Steve Austin 1998- early 99 Rock took over after Shawn’s retirement and Steve’s neck injury which changed his career
First time seeing this was an unforgettable experience. BAH GAWD it was so amazing seeing this as a kid - we thought wrestling games couldn't get any better than this. And, in my opinon, they haven't - this game is still the undisputed King of the Digital Ring.
Fun fact just in case for those that didn't know. At the beginning and end where we hear The Rock's "If Ya Smell What The Rock Is Cookin" thats actually taken fron The Rocks 2000 Royal Rumble interview with Michael Cole.
@@ShroudedEnigma Grandmaster sexy, viscera, crash holly, boss man, bulldog. I think those are all the ones from the attitude era. I wont try to name the rest. Oh and Owen hart for sure
WWF No Mercy had its flaws (with the the short entrances) but made up for it with the new match types (Guess Referee),fighting backs stage (even though they had that in SmackDown),and cutscenes after the win with certain players (Rock,Kane,or any member of Too Cool). I push start so fast after the announcer says the name of the game I didn’t even notice the music until now!
NINTENDO please remaster this game with New graphics but keep the same soundtrack ,same menu, same story , also add online keep everything the same it would be a masterpiece!!
They wouldn't be able to remaster this game without replacing a lot of wrestlers. They'd probably have to use the modern roster. If you can't do Edge & Christian vs. the Hardy Boyz, why bother remaking the game?
Brian Smith same for me. This game is legendary, but they won’t re-release because... A) They would have to rebrand this game as WWE No Mercy and removing the WWF logos on the cover and in-game will be a pain And B) Chris Benoit is in the game and you know how stupid wwe are towards him. Best wrestler ever!
Wow, they really paid attention to what was going on at the time. They even showed that moment when Linda countered Stephanie’s slap with one of her own.
The first game that came close to this one (mechanics wise) is 2012 but they didn't have it where you could choose to fight in the back or the ring. It also lacked the swag of No Mercy. No Mercy is in a category of its own. There was another wrestling game was out around the same time. I can't remember if it was on super Nintendo or the N64. It was good but it too was No competition. They bring this game to the Nintendo switch and its up.
JR has likely said that a number of times, but I wonder which match that specific call is from - I'm guessing that it's from something within that year.
The single best pro wrestling game ever! Absolutely love this game, I spent way too many hours as a kid playing and saving SmackDown dollars to get "ho"...
This great game needs to be in Nintendo 64 catalog for Nintendo Switch, I'm waiting for this one, Smash Bros 64, Conker's bad fur day, MK trilogy and one of the NBA games
And the fact they took big show and gangrel out of the game. Like why did they do that with big show and have steven richards play his role in story mode? I understand gangrel got fired for something stupid and wasn't his fault at the time frame this game was made.
@@Indigenousmetalhead big show was sent back to Development at the time of the game's release as he was being punished for getting over weighted He as actually originally gonna be in the game
No Mercy had an irrevocable memory dump flaw and it’s STILL regarded as the best wrestling game ever. Bonus fun, replace the sound with Murphy Lee-Shake Ya Tailfeather and it works a little too well.
And people wonder why AEW Fans are Excited The same engine behind The Greatest Wrestling Game Ever is behind There Game And The Director This needs a Remaster - Highly Tyjie
THIS GAME NEEDS A TRUE REMAKE FOR ITS 25th Anniversary. License, attires, hidden characters, official songs, good gameplay , bigger plot on campaign, unlockable rewards not paid DLC. I guy can only dream.
Here’s a fun fact which I did when I played this game. I cloned my cows into the roster so that way I can be in the intro. You also see your name that was soo dope.
Bro. For the year 2000, this intro was hype af.
yeah for sure :)
Back when love and care was put into video game intros. You can tell whoever made this KNEW what they were doing with the energy of the soundtrack. It's an enjoyable trip to watch.
We don’t even have intro like this these days 😔
@@Scramboe crafting an intro gets in the way of getting the money faster.
@@Allplussomeminusyep, back when video games weren’t a cash grab
Lol i loved how you could throw your opponent to the lockerooms and boiler room, and parking lot
And inside the sport's bar.
^^ yes it was a great function
I like to put them in submission holds and keep breaking their legs and also throw them from room to room keep making them tap out😍😩😂
Great freaking memories ❤️
@@shadeking5334 Dang bruh same.
Back when videogame intros went hard. Got us hype for the game we're about to play.
exactly 100%
And didn't dissapoint
Serious childhood nostalgia. Even bought the N64 again in my 20s with No Mercy and goldeneye just to get the feels back.
Yes Indeed this moments are forever ^^ thx for your commentary
Rated M for masterpiece
I played Wrestlemania 2000. I never got to play this title. One of the few wrestling games I never got to play.

Yes, indeed. Best wrestling game of all time.
💯💯
WWF No Mercy:
Released November 17, 2000.

*I'm 34*
STILL playing, Legendary game 🌟
I was like 8 when i played in 2014 im 18 now

It was my christmas present so I can feel your joy :) this is what we never forget.

Got this for my 10th birthday I know and remember the feeling
Swear I told my pops on Christmas Eve I wanted that game. After the stores closed and all, and somehow it was under the Christmas tree the next morning😭
0:46 One of my best friends originally thought JR was saying “He kicked ass! He kicked ass! He kicked ass!” 🤣 We still laugh about it to this day.
haha ^^ same here
That's what I thought it was for like a year
Sounds nothing like he kicked ass lol

Maybe AEW can change your mind😊
Unpopular opinion
2003’s Smackdown Here comes the pain >>>>> 1999’s wwe no mercy
Better gameplay
Better ai
Better graphics
Deeper modes
2001 was sooo insane
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 That's not unpopular.
I got this game for Christmas 2000. I was eight years old.

that JR "HE KICKED OUT HE KICKED OUT HE KICKED OUT!!!" in the beginning wil ALWAYS be classic... #Imherein2020
yes indeed ^^
It was Michael Cole, not JR
@@IAmBushid0 Definitely JR... You can hear his Southern twang

Thx for your great commentary :) have a nice week.
Rather play this than WWE2K18
yes, thats for sure me too
I rather play this than 2k19
Same
And pretty soon we all rather play this than WWE 2k battlegrounds
I Buy it the 2k18 and no mercy still better than any 2k
WWE NXT just made a No Mercy opening tributing to this! Glad NXT took some of us back to our youth.
NXT has nothing to do with WWF no mercy video game.

you can never beat the classics
Correct ^^
No, I beat it a lot
Agreed
The fact that this game is over 20 years old boggles my mind.

I love how if you changed the characters attire it would change it in the intro

The first game I ever learned how to play proper back when I was 3 years old. Still gets me excited to play to this day.

The most legendary intro in wrestling game history to me im almost in tears of joy watching this because i remember this like it was yesterday
Me and my cousins would play the hell outta this game back then 😭
Best Wrestling Game Ever
I just randomly started humming the intro and I had to look for it on TH-cam. You know the feeling.
WWF No Mercy had its flaws (with the the short entrances) but made up for it with the new match types (Guess Referee),fighting backs stage (even though they had that in SmackDown),and cutscenes after the win with certain players (Rock,Kane,or any member of Too Cool).

I was playing this yesterday still one of my favorites on the N64 🔥🔥
NINTENDO please remaster this game with New graphics but keep the same soundtrack ,same menu, same story , also add online keep everything the same it would be a masterpiece!!
Same graphics honestly lol
Nintendo didnt make the game.
The company that made WWE No mercy in 1999 went bankrupt and is now defunct (no longer exists)
THQ
NXT No Mercy just paid homage to the game! 10/10 already!🥹
Also remaster when????😭
They wouldn't be able to remaster this game without replacing a lot of wrestlers. They'd probably have to use the modern roster. If you can't do Edge & Christian vs. the Hardy Boyz, why bother remaking the game?
@@ClevelandRockYou’re a mook😒
I had to come back here after seeing that awesome NXT No Mercy intro
I remember getting this for Christmas. Spend my entire Xmas vacation playing this game and loved it.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎁🎅🏼
Exactly the same I got this for christmas I will never forget that present :) 🥰
I love the violins and drums in the beginning
One of my favorite wrestling games of all time 🎉
Who's Playing This Game While WWE NXT Brought Back No Mercy?
Best intro to a wrestling game ever
This game
Not better than wcw revenge
Lawrence Perla in my opinion this game is better than WWF Wrestlemania 2000 and WCW Revenge.
Lawrence Perla only if you like WCW over WWF, 'cause it's nonsense if this game have the best wrestling engine of all AKI N64 games.
.... is cool ^^
It's better than both of those games just that no mercy can be a little slow at times.
I still have no mercy N64
20 years ago today, WWF No Mercy on the N64 was Released
N64 went out with a BANG!
Dead ass 💪🏾💯😂. Cold 🥶Hard Facts
If this isn't on the N64 Classic, I won't buy it.
Brian Smith same for me. This game is legendary, but they won’t re-release because...
A) They would have to rebrand this game as WWE No Mercy and removing the WWF logos on the cover and in-game will be a pain
And
B) Chris Benoit is in the game and you know how stupid wwe are towards him. Best wrestler ever!

@@miguelrobb5719 He murdered his wife and son and committed suicide.

nostalgia
Indeed ^^
brings back so many memories
When you realize the N64 was the best era for Wrestling games.
N64, PS2, PS3, no one can say that PS4 or PS5 are better than those 3.
@@TrueKjv too early to add the PS5 but the PS4 had some gems.
2k14, 2K18 and 2k19
Then 2k22 is pretty solid
@@TrueKjv I know 2k22 is PS5 but so far it's starting solid
@@FreshPrincex4 Ngl 19 was epic, 14 was exclusive to Xbox 360 & PS3 though, also 2K22 is a decent game, it shocked everyone though.
Is it sad that this game runs nore smoothly than the new ones and the physics are more realistic
It’s tragic, actually
Damn, that nostalgia. I'm getting goosebumps from this.
Who's here after NXT No Mercy? lol
Why lol? Is it funny?
@@catrionacolville2192 it's on YT. See for yourself 😏
Wow, they really paid attention to what was going on at the time. They even showed that moment when Linda countered Stephanie’s slap with one of her own.
Yeah the stories were really good in that game.
This shows the n64 can handle real pictures but not full motion video, only stop motion style as shown in the titantrons
yep that is correct good watch
1:20 I still can't believe this dude did the People's Elbow backstage
... 16 years... and now notice that xDDD WHITCHCRAFT!!!
^^ yeah crazy
Lol!
Cool thing about Aki wrestling games is you don't even to be a wrestling fan to enjoy them!
I feel like I’m 10 years old again. Love it!
We were so much happier in that simplier time.
Yes 100 % thats for sure.
This is the last N64 game I got before I got my PS2
Best wrestling game period along with wcw revenge.

what a fucking era
This game came out during the WWF Attitude era! I was in 7th grade when I got this. I created character that was a beast! I miss those days....
The single best pro wrestling game ever! Absolutely love this game, I spent way too many hours as a kid playing and saving SmackDown dollars to get "ho"...
Yeah memories we will never forget :) thx for your comment .🙂
Not a lot of graphics, but captured exactly what we liked about the real thing.
2022.. No Mercy best wrestling game!!!

Oro Puro!!!
Only thing I didn't like was how they cut the entrances short. I think in wrestlemania 2000 they had them actually entering the ring.
