- Back in 2004, the Gamecube got brand new WWE game called Day of Reckoning, and this game looked amazing. The graphics were so impressive, the trailers, the cover. Everything about this game just looked awesome. There was so much hype. Finally the Gamecube was getting an actual good wrestling game. Nintendo ruled the wrestling game scene in the 90s, on the Nintendo 64. Games like WCW Revenge and WWF No Mercy. However once the next generation of consoles launched. The Playstation games just took over, and the Nintendo games were never the same. However 4 years after WWF No Mercy, the magic was back. It was WWE Day of Reckoning

What do you guys wanna see next? Quit my job to focus just on school and TH-cam, so it’s time to grind 🙏🏼😤
revisit the modern wwe games
Just give me Durag Vince and I'll be happy
Sorry bro
2k19 vid
That's great news for us since i love your content🤓🖤
"Seeing Untertaker take 50 minutes to make his goddamn entrance"
Feel you bro
facts
The fact you could customize the entrance at several points with all kinds of effects and poses was the best thing ever.
Day of Reckoning has the best Hell In A Cell and soundtrack by far. Falling Apart, Polyamourous, Firefly and more? Absolute bangers
Same soundtrack as SVR and WM 21. Due to both being updated they had more songs added.
The hell in acell is the same as wrestlemania XIX.
Polyamorous is one of my favorite songs to this day. Im about to be 22
The gamecube games in general had the best cell
ONNNNNMN EVERYTHING!!!!!
so much that svr had to steal it later
I'm at an age where I now have serious nostalgia for this game, even though it's generally all about No Mercy and WCW vs NWO Revenge for me.
nwo for life
I absolutely loved Day of Reckoning, it was just such a breath of fresh air for Nintendo wrestling games
Tag teaming with my bro on NWO Revenge was my childhood. Idk why they ever strayed away from the awesome formula of No Mercy and NWO Revenge
Those were my shit on N64, but when I got a PS2 SvR was such a big jump it’s became my favorite all time.
GameCube is a very underrated system, it had some of the most memorable games for me to this day. Geist, lord of the rings the third age, paper mario thousand year door, metroid prime, super Mario sunshine, fire emblem path of radiance, star fox adventures and assault, luigis mansion, metal gear twin snakes, f zero, this system is full of absolute bangers
don't forget Kirby and Smash Bros
best Nintendo console in the era It came out just because of the bangers and wwe day of reckoning was a hidden gem
2:13 “Trish my childhood crush looking like a dime” I felt that bro 😭😭
Vince:Make papa proud with fierfly
She was such a baddy at the time!!
@@JosephGuitar_2000 Heel Trish>>>>>
Same and I am still a kid
bro this game brings back so many memories. i remember this game being FAST af and the ref would start throwing hands wit u if you knocked him down. gotdamn this game hasn’t crossed my mind in years, i miss playing day of reckoning with the boys
“I had to stare in the eyes of Vince McMahon “ bro that line took me omg😂😂😂
I actually get mad nostalgia when I see gameplay of this game, even the second one is good probably better
I know right and the graphics still look fucking insaneeee
Definitely better although I never finished the second game's career mode😅
@@thatsilentdude7683 it was so hard. I took me SO many tries to get past that fatal 4 way steel cage for the intercontinental title with Kane, Christian, and Shawn Michael’s.
@@thehorrorhound6575 don't feel bad my older cousin beat it for me. To this day I wish it was me 😂 but I will never forget watching him get past it for me
I do like the graphics on the second one but for some reason I like DOR 1 more maybe because i got use to playing it. If I played 2 more I'll enjoy it more
You don’t know the word satisfaction without hearing firerfly and then doing a rematch of randy and undertaker
That rivalry really was the best one of 2005
I love this game! The GameCube games are SO underrated.
Facts man I never owned it unfortunately but I played gamecube at a friend house(at the time)
What year are you born?
Heck mario kart double dash is one of my favourite racing games and my favourite mario kart game
Underrated? They had some of the best games ever made it’s not underrated it’s appreciated
@aDg 2k18
Wrestlemania X8 was a great intro game
It obviously wasn't fleshed out like the DOR but for the time it was the perfect game to introduce your friends to wrestling games without having to overwhelm them with special taunts or weak/strong grapples
I remember day I was sleeping and my mom brought me this game I nearly cried in excitement and happiness and it didnt disappoint
I don’t even remember how my mom got me this game but SAME!!
Man the 2000’s were the best and the games were better!
This was literally my favorite game on the gamecube. I loved this game from the graphics, to the move sets, the fighting engine, everything about this game. The 2nd one was good, but the stamina system killed it for me. The 1st one was always the best in my opinion
Why is this the only game that had an updated 2004 The Rock?
I think it's 'cause his contract as an active wrestler expired in between this and SvR. Like, his last live appearance (prior to 2008 or 2011) in the ring was in August 2004: RIGHT before DoR came out!
@@TAFARockWarrior97 Nice 👍🏾
I think 2k14 had an updated 2004 version of his model
@@v-trigger6137 No you are thinking of his 2003 attire
Can't believe you waited so long to play the Day of Reckoning games. I was looking through your channel and was thinking it would be cool if he made a video about them and here it is. DoR 2 is of course the best one and has held up over time in my opinion, the graphics and game play still is amazing. None of them quite beat HCTP but still incredibly fun.
The Soulja boy reference😂😂😂
Video idea: what made triple h and Shawn Michaels rivalry so special
Keep grinding bro you’re honestly making my favorite wrestling content. One of the few people on TH-cam with the same positive mindset about wrestling is really refreshing.
The only game that had Eddie Guerrero’s lie,cheat,steal heel theme song and when the ref would beat your ass for hitting him🤣
Day of reckoning 2 is the only game I’ve ever played that had Eddies final heel theme that had the cell phone ringing at the beginning
Day of reckoning 2 had the best entrance for him until like WWE 2k18 but still, might be better.
He's back and better than ever
& making things better
Day of reckoning was so great. Everything about the shame was so f*cking entertaining. It was just as good as SVR if not better.
You censored fucking very weirdly.
@@agentdorito8511 um that’s the way you censor that word you put a star in place of the vowel
@@melainebullock The comment was edited.
I definitely liked DOR 1 and 2 more then the og SVR
I wanted a GameCube when I was younger and I was a toddler so I didn't know any better. It was Day of Reckoning that made me want to get one.
I remember the ole WWE TV Game.
One gaming mechanic that has not been done since Day of Reckoning is the ability to interrupt every single move, mid-move. It was one of the most realistic features. Unlike other games where you have no choice to watch patiently while the Rock slowly does the people’s elbow to your tag team partner you can punch him any time during the move. Fatal 4 way and triple threat matches are chaotic fun. Tag team matches are awesome. Breaking up the Undertaker’s tombstone on your partner before he can land it is fun af.
This right here, it made every match unpredictable. Interrupting a finisher was MADDENING. It was real! I hated SvR for so long because they didn't have that mechanic.
This game was everything to me as a kid! It baffles me when ppl mention the best wrestling games n almost no one mentions DOR😒
It’s a damn shame, DOR 1&2 are both classics, I put my childhood into those games haha
This was hidden gem 💎 that only people who had a Gamecube knew about! Not many people were lucky enough to play this bad boy.
@@omz_espinoza true but now they can play it on the emulator which I did and I enjoy DOR
That makes it a hidden gem, makes me like it even more
@@KM-lc6hj true, but emulating a gamecube game isn't easy. I'd say just go for an original Gamecube or Wii. Easier to play it that way. Especially with the way the gamecube controller was designed, it just doesn't fit with newer controllers.
Did you really disrespect Wrestle-mania XIX?! You’re smoking crack
Was looking for this comment
TheRealDFink IKR! That's EXACTLY what I am saying.
That game had some of the best storyline matches and locations!
Gamecube had great wrestling games. Had all of them.
@@ODYPicks True. And same.
Everything about this game was great. The Roster, the match types, the game modes, everything was just magic. They current games wish that they were as good as this game.
2k....😑😔....2k
I miss this game so much the gameplay was 🔥 soundtrack was 🔥 only thing they were missing were key superstars like Brock, Goldberg, and stone cold that’s one of the only things that kept the game from being almost perfect💯
Day of Reckoning 2 was great as well imo I recommend playing it as well. I remember how difficult the 4 way cage match in story mode was to beat as a kid haha
Stumbled upon this channel...
And it's EFFING AWESOME
This game blew away SmackDown versus raw. I couldn't care less about the game when it was released. I actually forgot it's release date because I was so busy with WWE day of reckoning . easily one of the best wrestling games of all time.
GameCube in general is just an awesome console. WWE DOR 1&2, Resident Evil 4, Smash Bros Melee; Metroid Prime, LOZ: The Wind Waker, I could go on and on.
When he said "Trish being my childhood crush" That hit me hard😐💕💕💕 she became my lifetime crush
Wrestlemania 19 was pretty good I still play it til this day
John Cena rapping over the Grindin’ instrumental? 🔥
Day of Reckoning is top tier wrestling game, when I first bought it I literally felt like I was playing No Mercy 2.0 . The CAW is one of the best ever
Yea bro you right, people like me who grow up with this game, had very special childhood memories... Thanks for this video, it made me feel like a child again ❤️
When i was growing up i always hated how most my childhood was only gamecube, but at the same time i have never been so blessed to play games like brunout Day of Reckoning smash melee and even bloodyroar
One of the greatest game ever in GameCube
WrestlinGifs is a awesome youtuber he put time in his videos he is a great editor and cares about his fans.
wrestling games on gamecube were amazing you’re trippen fam
Smackdown SYM / HCTP >>> stepping on Legos >>>>> WM 18 and 19 on the GameCube
WrestlinGifs daaaaammmmnnnnnnn
23. My mom got me this game when I was 5 . I'm now 23 come dec 26..I ordered this off ebay for my birthday I've missed it so much so fucking much . Best wrestling game hands down.
I played wwe day of Reckoning on gamecube 2004 it's special wrestling better than today's wrestling games
Day of Reckoning pretty much used the same exact fighting engine that Wrestlemania XIX used, but was smoother and more polished. I know XIX gets a lot of hate for the Revenge mode, but I personally loved that part of the game. It felt very free and adventure-like. You could even go through it with any character you want, including female superstars.
After you complete Revenge mode, you get the option to play your matches outside of the ring. So if you ever got bored of fighting in a traditional ring, you can fight the AI and your friends in a parking lot, on top of a crane, inside of a mall etc.
I love both games honestly. XIX, DoR and DoR 2 are my favorite WWE games of all time.
I remembered my friends having a PS2 and Xbox. I was the only one with a Gamecube. When the commercial for Day Of Reckoning came out I was pumped ! I got the game, sick soundtrack and fun game play. I also purchased the sequel. Good times.
I've played wrestling games since Wrestlemania 2000 on Nintendo 64, & I periodically go back & play the older games. In my honest opinion, WWE 2K19 is one of the greatest wrestling games of all time. That's bc of how much you can do. You can really make it your own. I'm so glad the servers are still up
I’ve downloaded so much stuff over Community Creations for my Universe Mode. It’s a great simulator, honestly I have more fun managing my Universe than I actually do playing matches.
@@OffLeatherWings me too, I do different themed ppvs, this month is Halloween so I have my entire 90 CAW roster in costumes I found on community creations. Then after Halloween I'm gonna switch them back to their normal attires til Christmas. I do different "skins" if you will, like Apex
Yes! The game I spent the most playing when I was younger, one of my favs of all time!🙌
This game was Lead in design by Shunsuke Katsumata who did the 3D Animation on AKI games like WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF Wresltemania 2000 he also was an Assistant Director on WWF No Mercy. He and his Yuke's team basically rebuilt the AKI engine for the Gamecube with trial and error of WMx8 and XIX and got a barebones No Mercy-like game by the time they got to DOR, with some improvements like the special meter, and grapple strikes, more ground positions, etc. You'll even see similarities in lockerroom and the main menus from the fonts to the color scheme. I'd check out No Mercy again if you haven't played in a bit.
This game introduced me to WWE
WRESTLEMANIA XIX WAS NOT GARBAGE WTF?!
I came here to say the same thing. That game was freaking awesome.
@@Ronster1225I’m sayin
Yo xix was the best one DR2
4:26 Angles straps were down. The game was ahead of it’s time.
Me having both day of reckoning games as a child 😎
Out of all the fire soundtracks on old WWE games no single song makes me more nostalgic than firefly man take me back
The was the first wrestling game to add in the ability to interrupt moves. So many memories of playing this as a teen w my friends. You should definitely play part 2 next !!
Actually, that started with x8. All the gamecube games had this ability
@@potatabit correct. I meant to say first wrestling game series.
Wrestlemania 19 for the gamecube was slap and underrated
For real. The only thing sucked was the arena selections. The roster was alright. They did good with Revenge stages, I had a blast playing those with friends. CAW creation was deep.
Facts man, revenge mode was my 💩
I had both days of reckoning, wrestlemania 18 and 19 games. There were amazing. I just saw were you dissed the wrestlemania games. They were super fun especially 19.
Pav thank you for listening to your audience. You just made another classic!
The Basham brothers were not jobbers, they were very competitive on the tag team division and were actually tag champs
I remember having a game cube and this was all I played about 80% of the time lol I had a ps2 also though.
This game is PEAK 2000s.
The gameplay still holds up! It's very arcady and fun!
My favorite thing about this game: The Survivor Series map. Jumping down the ambulance and having a replay of it will never not be funny to me.
Day of Reckoning one and especially 2 are there true Holy Grail of WWE wrestling games
Me and my brother used to always do 100 man royal rumble just to see how long we could last. From the soundtrack to the gameplay its one of my favorites of all time
Whoa whoa Wrestle mania 19 is not garbage
Day of Reckoning is the goat for me when it comes to wrestling games. It’s the reason why I’m a wrestling fan today because I only had GameCube growing up, and seeing all the wrestlers and their cool finishers as a kid made me wanna start watching wrestling on TV. Good times. Ruthless aggression era was so lit
I own both Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 and they're both great games and I still play them with my buddies. The second one has more refined gameplay and the custom characters you can make are insane. Personally I feel the second one is overall better, however the first game definitely has the better soundtrack and the better custom character faces(lol). Pick up Day of Reckoning 2 if any of you ever get the chance to, you won't regret it!
Still so cool that each console used to have their own games
Same reaction as a kid! I was in awe of the commercial and wanted to cry that it was an exclusive. Still get jealous when I see the commercial or hear about it.
i literally played this game every day for like 3 years straight
I'll be the first one to admit i was lucky i even got to play the game. When i was growing up me and my family was dirt poor so we couldn't afford a game console but one night my brother got lucky on a raffle and he won a GameCube, because of that we got Day Of Reckoning the next Christmas.
I loved this game. It felt like the natural successor to the AKI engine that I missed so dearly.
Listening to firefly while playing wrestling games just unlocked a memory in my head. Its emotional man
Im 35. I had a blast on the game cube playing Day of reckoning 1 and 2.
The greatest wwe youtuber has returned
I had a ps2 and a gamecube growing up. I really like how arcadeish this game was compared to the smackdown and svr games. They should have kept this series going as arcade counterpart to the 2k games.
nigga this game harder than anything that ever came out. i had a gamecube back then. i randomly thought of this game today and looked it up. CLASSIC
Day of reckoning 2 is one of the best game
I haven't seen the cover in YEARSSSSS. But seeing it brought me back. Wow. Great video!
Aye I actually enjoyed Wrestlemania XIX on Gamecube. Revenge mode was 🔥🔥🔥
The ref was a savage too!
I can't explain why but I have infinitely more nostalgia for this game than its sequel despite playing both when they were released.
I loved this game when my Gamecube was still working, man it's such a good game
Bro...this game was lit af..I remember being in 4th grade when my mom had it under my pillow as a birthday gift 😂 I miss this game
Fireflies is now my favorite song I just heard it and now I understand why it's your favorite
Like you Pav, I grew up with a PS2 and wasn’t until now in 2023 I tracked this game and the sequel down. Now I’m awaiting to my GameCube to arrive to play this game for the first time essentially 20 years later.
Day of Reckoning is my favorite wrestling game of all time. Me and my cousin still play this whenever we hang out.
I loved being able to use my special multiple times when activated
I spent so many all nighter creating my own wild storylines with my friends in the game I miss this and my gamecube peak wrestling game for me lol
When Wrestlin Gifs uploads my day is straight up 🔥🔥🔥
I've started playing this game recently and I'm seriously considering putting it over HCTP, fire pro and wwf no mercy. Especially after the forbidden DoR mod
Intro was literally my childhood ‼️‼️‼️
Wow, this got me in the nostalgia. Can’t forget how awesome this game was back when we were kids.
I love this game series, I got them both when I was 13 in 2008, they were old by then but I didn’t care and i played the SHIT out of them, and to this day I swear on a Bible Day of Reckoning 2 is the greatest wrestling game I’ve ever played. You MUST play it if you haven’t.
The memories of me and my brother playing this game for hours miss it
They should have added Lita,Gail Kim,Dawn Marie and Torrie Wilson in this Game
Play it for the first time last week. Got damn im having a blasted. I skipped it back then for the same reason. Svr games had my love. But this game can give it a run for it money. Even the 2k games. Im all about presentation and camera work i wrestling games. Both day of reckoning 1 and 2 had it all.
It earn a spot in my top 10 wrestling games
Sound track was fire! Definitely brings me back
How great the fluidity of its combat feels can't be overstated. That alone sells it for me. Since I've never played much of NM because of my inability to time its reversals, I love that DOR exists. Now I see why
that game is often regarded as the best ever. Hopefully AEW gets a near perfect spiritual successor.
i remember going to my cousins house and playing this game and fell in love with it. the soundtrack was amazing i knew the songs but didnt know the name of the songs i was about 7 years old. but as i grew older i learned the name of the songs and put them in my playlist.
That John Cena ad hit me with heavy bits of nostalgia, damn.
Best 2 wrestling games on the GameCube! Day of reckoning 1 and 2!
This game was a amazing man I had gamecube growing up which sucked cause all my boys had ps2's and xbox's but this game was legit as fuck especially the create a wrestler mode and the gameplay it's amazing man glad you covered it
