This looks incredible. I loved World Tour, Revenge, and Wrestlemania 2000. The superstars all take me back to my childhood watching with my Dad. What a love letter to wrestling fans.
Lets be real here: to not have Diesel, Doink, Yokozuna, Lex Luger, Tatanka, Sgt. Slaughter and others in this game is an extreme oversight on the the developers end. Otherwise a good idea, but far from feeling like the "ultimate all star roster" that Wrestling Bios is stating it here.
Easily some of the best wrestling games ever. I played WCW and made sure to tune into WCW as a teenager. Simpler times that's for sure, but great times.
This makes me want to cry. The level of detail is exquisite. Gotta go support these creators. This is a testament to good will in the world. There is hope after all
I am absolutely FLOORED with the amount of love and care the people put into this mod game. Absolute masterclass in old school wrestling games from the N64 era.
Fun fact: Marty Jannetty has never been in an official wrestling game. I know this one ain't official, but it's good seeing Marty as a playable character.
No Mercy is my favorite wrestling game of all time. I have it loaded in the N64 in the other room rn. I basically do my best to turn all the 2K games into No Mercy. Hearing JR and the King for the commentary would have been amazing. I'm all over this. Thanks for sharing!
The amount of work and passion that is going into this project is insane to simply put. They deserve all the support without a doubt. I will definitely be trying this at some point.
I saw my name on the credits and I can't remember what it was that I ever contributed lol. If anything I've used their work a hundred times (which, yes, these awesome homies are so kind, they allowed the community freely edit and alter their textures that they worked so hard on making.) These people are the best. Some of the greatest guys to ever grace the WWF No Mercy Community with their presence.
If I had grown up with this era of wrestling, I would be crying right now of how incredible this looks. It really makes me want put in the effort to learn how to install this on my PC
Being 14 in 1997 was so much fun and this looks like the perfect nostalgic game for those who grew up from Hogan to Attitude Era and the great N64 wrestling games. 👍
Holy s***. This is insane. This is the dream game for those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s. I love that this fan base has such talented, passionate fans that can do this stuff. Incredible.
When I learned about this game I immediately downloaded it. Being a fan of wrestling since the early 80s, this game brought back some great memories. The Golden Era of wrestling is truly missed. The excitement I had as a child back came right back once I got this game running. I'm looking forward to all future updates.
I would love to see more wrestlers added in the future. The Killer Bees, the Bushwhackers, Nikolai Volkoff, Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, Luna Vachon, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, LOD, Tugboat/Typhoon, Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Golddust, etc.
I’ve loved every second of this game since I got it running on my pc a few days ago! I’m hoping we get more WWF Superstars added in the future! I’d like to see Yokozuna, Dino Bravo, Greg Valentine and a few others! More Warrior and Macho King attires as well!
@@catchcan221 Its fairly simple dude. Go to the the download link and follow the steps. Download Main Game, And Music Unzip Game folder to C: drive Then go to "WWF Legends - Challenge 64" Click on the "Project 64" folder You'll see a folder called "Music Tool" Unzip the "Music" folder you downloaded inside that "Music Tool" folder it should Overwrite the previous empty "Music" folder Inside of "Music Tool" you'll see "start-wwf-with-music-tool" double click on that. Then the textures will load(takes a min or two) you may need to "tweek" some settings, maybe maybe not. I had to switch from Direct X to Open GL, just one thing but you may not. Try the instructions above and let me know if you need more help.
@catchcan221 It's not difficult. I feel this was the easiest one to do. Follow RGT85 instructions to a T. He has the best tutorial. I got it running in minutes
It’s like the ultimate love letter to golden era WWF, from roughly 1987 to 1994. You even have things like undertaker mark 1.0 and big boss man at most chunk. Absolutely incredible I can’t wait to see in action
@@troywright359 Seems like people are mostly talking about the love, care, and accuracy put into this, rather than the total package. Like whenever they try to put legends in games today, 70% of the time they just look WAY off, don't look like they belong, no alt attires etc. Also never forget this is a passion-fueled fan project you can get for free, so that automatically raises the bar.
@@troywright359Did you play it? It's No Mercy on steroids with classic wrestlers. This game elevates a wrestling fan's nostalgia to untapped levels. It's better than anything wrestling right now
I don’t know if my old cheap pc will even play this game but I want to support these guys so much! The passion and care they took to bring us all a fabulous throwback style of game deserves all the love and money. Great job guys! Brings me back to my old N64 days. Gotta love that.
You're right, WWF should have made this game... a LONG time ago. But that's the beauty of modern modding/hacking of older games... we no longer NEED them to! Awesome that you are covering "WWF Legends: Challenge 64" here!
Legion of Doom with Precious Paul, Brain Busters, The Narcissist, Superfly, The Dragon, Gold Dust, Strike Force, The Real World's Champion, Yokozuna, The King of Hearts, The Dynamite Kid, Mr. Wonderful, Ace, Piper's Pit???, Backstage interviews, Call outs, fall outs, big reveals, sneak attacks, not like the attitude area so much, but like they happened in the 80s. Man, I'm hyped for this game!!!!!
It really is a labour of love. It would be interesting to see them expand it beyond the WWF to WCW of the 80's and 90's. Giving fans a chance to put Andre The Giant against Surfer Sting. That kind of deal.
What's good about this, is it hits the nostalgia feels for golden era WWF and not just nostalgia feels for No Mercy fans. Which is good for me, seeing as I never really played No Mercy and have no emotional connection to it. I fully acknowledge its place in gaming history, I just never had a Nintendo beyond the original gameboy and never really got a chance to play it. In a way, I'll now get to do that and it'll be representing a period of wrestling that was my entry point into this crazy world.
This looks absolutely amazing, I think for hogans legdrop thought they should have done what the original did for the peoples elbow. Get the special go to the head press the grapple button and hogan hits the ropes automatically then you press the strike button to do the legdrop. But I'm getting this game
Its a very impressive mod for a first beta and while there are some glitches its to be expected and can be fixed as the mod is updated. The commentary tracks are really impressive they have been put in and such a neat detail. I cant wait to see how far this mod goes in future since it can only get better
These fan-made things always blow my mind. The attention to detail and the overall aesthetic are always spot on. It's great when wrestling nerds and video game nerds collaborate to create something like this.
You would think by 2023 game producers would have thought of making this game YEARS ago. N64 had great wrestling games, every monday after raw friends and i would play WWF War Zone. Thanks for all the info bro, gonna DL this strait away! EDIT: the twitter link is no good "account doesnt exist"
This is way cool!, would've loved to see a kinda WCW vs WWF type in the game and/or maybe some British wrestling legends in there, ie. Kendo, Big Daddy, Haystacks, etc, etc....
The fans that worked hard on this game is definitely an example of what the devs from 2k and thq Nordic should've been doing with current wrestling games. I've played many modded pc games of past video games and they always have that fun nostalgic gameplay to it with new stuff added as well.
If a couple of fans can make a wonderful masterpiece like this what was THQ and Yukes excuse with FF? Or 2k's excuse? Why is it taking Ultra Pro wrestling so long to release? Man we have to take care of these people at all cost.
There are other games like this that mods have made from the No Mercy engine like WCW: Feel The Bang which was supposed to be a sequel to Revenge, WCW Starrcade 64, ECW: Barley Legal 64, TNA vs ROH 64, NXT 64, they also have ones with modern era rosters too and they also have something called Showdown 64: World Tour, a No Mercy sequel called WWF Invasion too.
Wow, this looks amazing! The WWE should hire these guys to make this game “official” and available on various platforms. Not sayin’ just saying! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just FYI, the twitter link in the description has a typo, and thus, doesn't work. You typed "WWF" at the beginning and end of the link, where it should just be at the beginning. Just thought I would point it out so people clicking the link can manually edit the link, too. Thanks for this great video!
I'd love to see more former IC champions like Tito Santana, or just underappreciated women like Wendy Richter, Cyndi Lauper, and the Bomb Angels...but right now, I'm still in awe that games like this and the early WCW mod even exist.
This game looks amazing!! I gives me old WCW game vibes. The characters look awesome. They ALL look like their real counterparts. Kudos to the development/creative team!
This just makes me wish that Razor Ramon and Mr.Perfect were a team and Bobby Heenan was always a commentator with Gorilla Monsoon. Heenan and Monsoon were the most dynamic team of commentators that has and will EVER exist.
DAMN...I WANT THIS GAME!! I'm a huge, huge fan of the AKI N64 wrestling games, and this one looks absolutely amazing! By the way, the SNME theme at the end of the video really, really took me back.
I know what I'm doing this weekend! Also, would LOVE to see WCW included. Would be so fun to get the "what if" matches that never could have been. Great video as always
9:35 HA, you fool! It wasn't the 93' Royal Rumble at the Knickerbocker arena it was the 92' Royal Rumble at the knickerbocker arena. I will be taking my cookie in the mail 😂. Joking about the fool part, huge fan. Not joking about the 1992 part. 1993 was in Sacramento I think.
@WrestlingBios These older style WCW/WWF Games are Phenomenal and I actually own all of the WWF & WCW games on my N64 console and I enjoy em 100%. I'm so proud of all of the Developers who are STILL Modding No Mercy and you can mod WCW Vs Nwo World Tour as well and WCW NWO Revenge game 🤟🏾🐐🤟🏾
This is a fantastic idea. I like that the newer games have mods you can download that allow you to play this Era of WWF, but this one definitely hits different combining the nostalgia of the old No Mercy engine with the period of wrestling that just missed when video games were really starting to look good and using 3D polygons.
This is pretty awesome, Ive not been into wrestling games in about 15 years, idk why i just havent been. SVR2008 is the last one I fully played lol. But I like to every few years play the OG games, and this is just amazing! The 1 thing I wonder is if commentary can be turned on and off, that would be a huge thing for me personally. Cause after a while they can get repetitive, if that option doesnt exist that would likely make me not wanna play this more than an hour or two.
Listening to the No Mercy soundtrack brought me here. No MErcy and WM2000 are the top tier wrestling games. Absolutely getting this on P64 tonight when I finish work!!! Great vid as well!!
Wow, I am from Albany N.Y, my 1st ever wrestling event that I ever attended was the Royal Rumble 1992. I was 5 yrs old at the time, and vividly remember the event. I went with my grandfather, my dad, and brother
I saw something about this and was wondering if you would do a video on it. Thank you for the awesome work and information! This is way better than anything out there.
7:24 listen to the difference a lively crowd and energetic commentary makes. This is what wrestling games always lack. The WWE 2K games should take this approach of cutting out lines from live events.
You can hear him talk with a smile while reviewing this.. This game reminds me of my Favorite wrestling game back from the good ol days WCW/NWO Revenge.. Great review.
So much fun!! The original download is a little tricky but once you get it, it's pretty easy to run. Only thing I am not a huge fan of the commentary but that's just a personal preference, still really cool the guys put it in there
Damn that is literally my childhood right there. While I am grateful I grew up during the dawn of the Monday Night Wars and got games based on those eras, to get a quality N64 AKI wrestling game for the Golden Era would've been the diabetes inducing icing on the cake. To have that now through this rom is crazy.
Great review, I appreciated the acknowledgement of the other challenge - the trials of getting mods and emulation up and running smoothly, as this too often goes unspoken and is more likely to put off the people who were sold it as some kind of gaming wonder drug. It's always worth it in the end, but it pays to be realistic about the headaches you might have to overcome to get there, call it suffering for your art.
This is amazing! Unbelievable amount of detail went into this game. I love what I'm seeing the only thing missing is a bigger roster there's a lot of guys still missing from this game
My guess is that HBK will be treated like a separate character who needs some new moves, textures and animations or the devs thought he’d be best saved for a later update. Since Razor is built off from WCW WT & Revenge Scott Hall as a template, he’s easy enough to make and he’s an essential character that had to be included. That and them figuring New Gen needed some form of representation.
This looks incredible. I loved World Tour, Revenge, and Wrestlemania 2000. The superstars all take me back to my childhood watching with my Dad. What a love letter to wrestling fans.
I concur.
One of my favorites was the ecw game that had blood come out back, arm , legs, etc
Lets be real here: to not have Diesel, Doink, Yokozuna, Lex Luger, Tatanka, Sgt. Slaughter and others in this game is an extreme oversight on the the developers end. Otherwise a good idea, but far from feeling like the "ultimate all star roster" that Wrestling Bios is stating it here.

He should come with his own special fanny pack
So that means Shawn michaels should be in the game if Jannety is there.
@@poindextersheelturn436 Shawn is on the roster (The Rockers)
@@TheImapotato can only imagine what party marty was keeping in his bum bag of tricks
You mean...he hasn't been gamed?

We need even more characters. I want a complete roster of more or less everyone having been in WWE from 84-93 or something.
It is coming. Be grateful for this. They're not finished with this game yet

I’d love to see something like this done for the Ruthless Aggression era.
Trust me, it's a good 10 of these mods. There will be more.

There is one called WCW Saturday Night Live that is based off of their 91' roster. It's pretty sweet. And you can get it in cartridge form.
Always wanted a game with the Rockers when I was a kid and play against Hart Foundation, now I can
The images of the wrestlers on the character select screen are amazing. I'd love some high quality prints of those, they are very much wall worthy.

Is it Thursday already lol COLD AS ICE!
I still play the Def Jam games because the AKI engine is amazing. I’m working on adapting the AKI engine for a co-op brawler.

Best intro music! That’s a hit of nostalgia.
For me, this is when wrestling was at its prime time

That's Royal Rumble 92, 93 was at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.

Awesome. To be able to play as the Rockers (the GREATEST TEAM EVER). SO cool. Everything looks good.
Thank you everyone for your hard work, your work has gone noticed 💯
They added mr wonderful which is a great addition. The fans are doing some of the best work.

a true labor of love,
also the one thing that aew game was lacking: actual stars

I just download this and some other WWF 64 rom hacks. I cant wait to play em.
How is it? Have they added story mode yet? Just seeing this for the first time and wow I love it even without these features.
So much fun!! The original download is a little tricky but once you get it, it's pretty easy to run. Only thing I am not a huge fan of the commentary but that's just a personal preference, still really cool the guys put it in there
Damn that is literally my childhood right there. While I am grateful I grew up during the dawn of the Monday Night Wars and got games based on those eras, to get a quality N64 AKI wrestling game for the Golden Era would've been the diabetes inducing icing on the cake. To have that now through this rom is crazy.
I went to download this as I just watched your intro and your link says the account doesn't exist
You can tell this was made with love, looks fantastic!
Great review, I appreciated the acknowledgement of the other challenge - the trials of getting mods and emulation up and running smoothly, as this too often goes unspoken and is more likely to put off the people who were sold it as some kind of gaming wonder drug. It's always worth it in the end, but it pays to be realistic about the headaches you might have to overcome to get there, call it suffering for your art.
The fact that this game has shots of Hercules in his Roman attire, proves they have an incredible attnetion to detail and love
Oh my god, the amount of work that had to go into this. It is just unbelievable. Really amazing display of love for the product.
This is amazing! Unbelievable amount of detail went into this game. I love what I'm seeing the only thing missing is a bigger roster there's a lot of guys still missing from this game
They've really got the look and the vibe for that era bang on the money.
Did they put Barry Horowitz in? That would be amazing if not! 👌
0:19 - A clip of CM Punk with the commentary, "But it also felt like something was missing." LOL.
Sweet, that’s me that commented at 3:02!
Weird that they've got Razor Ramon (debut August 92), but not HBK Shawn Michaels (only Rocker Shawn Michaels), who debuted December 91.
My guess is that HBK will be treated like a separate character who needs some new moves, textures and animations or the devs thought he’d be best saved for a later update.
Since Razor is built off from WCW WT & Revenge Scott Hall as a template, he’s easy enough to make and he’s an essential character that had to be included. That and them figuring New Gen needed some form of representation.
congrats for the video. I started to play wrestlin' games on the commodore64 ... so this is insane.
