WCW/nWo Revenge

Like, Williams is a big guy, but obviously Vader's bigger.

So, like, to watch Steve Williams, like, be perplexed on how he's going to get this big van down... like that's the intriguing part of it all again I want to play WCW NWO Revenge and just put that match in the gimmick but I'm going to go Vayner I'm

going to go Dr.

Death Steve Williams baby

I remember the first SmackDown game for PlayStation or PS2.

coming out but after that gets a little fuzzy for me it was WWF Warzone for N64 that was the biggest and I remember going back I remember In Your House on Playstation but that was afterwards the WCW games so it was WCW, NWO Revenge War yep

That was a good one.

Yeah, I loved Revenge.

Yeah, Revenge was a good one.

I think

Revenge and No Mercy were the

same

a bunch of iguana and iguana west games uh specifically they had made nhl breakaway 98 which will tie into this but uh yeah zoops tell us about your history with this game specifically

okay so remember i said earlier revenge or pardon me wcw was always was like they were equal to me so when you talk about games that come out wcw nwo revenge comes out a month later that's very important to remember um and we did have a road

tour at this point like

earlier

I can't believe it.

But that game, WCW NWO World Tour, had a really simple...

It laid the groundwork for what would become WCW NWO Revenge, which laid the groundwork for WrestleMania 2000, which laid the groundwork for No Mercy.

So... that's the thq ukes system um which was i had those on again my dad i had them on playstation i also had warzone on playstation um but again that was a very simple mechanic where it was like you would weak grapple or strong grapple and then every single move you would do in the game would be a direction in one button that was everything you needed to know was elegant And somehow impossible to replicate its both simplicity and complexity years later.

Mm.

So we would do the two-player things for the, for Madden, and then when we get bored and we all wanted to play, it's like NWO, WCW Revenge, just everything.

And it was, it was the best part of that.

Four players playing fighting games, although not with Street Fighter.

So this one's developed by Yuke's.

And if that name sounds familiar, if you're an N64 wrestling guy, they're the ones that did WCW Revenge and WWF No Mercy.

Recently they did the AEW Fight Forever game, but that's a different story.

But people love their combat systems, and for them to get to do a beat-em-up, I'm like, okay, maybe they'll bring something new to the table.

But I do, um, I do like Raven at this...

But again, like this all puts me in mind of WCW Revenge of the N64, the, the en- the entrance ramp, the ring setup.

Sorry, I was too poor for one of those.

Raven.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I, I would also probably in my personal top 25 put, uh, WCW versus nWo Revenge.

That's probably the one that I actually like better, but I know that No Mercy is one that a lot of people think is, like, the pinnacle of the f- the genre that-

Mm-hmm
