Another feature that No Mercy had that WM2000 did not have was the ability to drop weapons and not have them disappear. Weapons would stay on the ground to be used later.

I had been homeless for nearly a year and finally found a home around the time this came out. This game was the first thing I spent any money on aside from the essentials. It's always going to have a special place in my heart.

You hit the nail right on the head with getting together with friends on the weekends, sleepovers, pizza, soda, chips, and the N64. Simpler fun times, brotha. No Mercy is one of my favorite wrestling games of all time.

Great times, man.

The nostalgia feeling

[@bootsthecat6718]

Making new copies of Jeff Hardy and trying to match them up with what he was wearing on TV was pretty much a weekly thing for me on this game

[@616Entertainment]

Dude, so good.

[@gking2709]

World Tour - Revenge - WrestleMania 2000 - no mercy What a time to be a wrestling fan with a N64. Great childhood memories

[@616Entertainment]

No doubt!

[@LegendoftheAce1]

Attitude was pretty cool too

[@thisisnotachannel]

Adulthood for me... but I feel ya, regardless.

[@thisisnotachannel]

@@LegendoftheAce1 Definitely the pinnacle of those Acclaim wrestling games during the PS1/N64 era... a vast improvement over "War Zone". I have the Dreamcast version, and its definitely better than it gets credit for, as long as it's the disc version (sorry, N64). The fighting system DOES kind of suck ass, though... MK type "dial-in" inputs for the myriad moves in a wrestling game simply don't work very well, in my opinion. That said, there is a lot to like about the game... I still play it fairly often!

[@DemonMul]

I was a victim of the save glitch in No Mercy but I was never mad about it because that just meant I could do it all again

[@616Entertainment]

That's looking at the bright side, for sure.

[@H3roin1620]

So true, but I did hate have to create a player again

[@dcarson89]

My mate could update everyone's clothes in about 5 minutes, blindfolded. We only cared momentarily, then it was straight into a tag team ladder match

[@ztm999]

Javon was out’ve his damn mind, the little slice of life stories like that is why I love these videos

[@616Entertainment]

Absolutely, that's why I included it in such detail! Hahaha

[@bobbygermain9635]

Javon is a legend at this point🤣🤣🤣 this game is one of my favorites of all time!

[@616Entertainment]

He is, without a doubt.

[@polymathing]

I'm imagining a storyline where Javon has a rival youtube channel which eventually collides head on with 616 in an epic No Mercy Best of 7 Championship. Ian pulls off a monumental victory at Wrestlemania over Javon, finally securing the rights to Javon's Soul which Ian stores in a small matchbox resting on his bedside table. Every night after Ian says good night to the beautiful Tara Darcy he leans over to the matchbox and quietly whispers...Damn. Drifting off to slumber with a wry smile creeping across his face like the Moon outside his window.

[@alexsilverkush6182]

He needed to be included for sure

[@zackharris01]

As always, takes me right back to my childhood. 11 years old, just me and my mom, trying not to wake her up as I pedigreed my way through the world title story mode at 1am on a school night. Thank you Ian.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude I love this.

[@RedragonReviews]

Sheez on a school night I know you was hella tired lol

[@joshhale9355]

The save wiping was brutal. I remember playing a good straight hour and a half in survival to unlock as many wrestlers as I could and I was so pleased (god I miss being 8). I turned the game on the next day and watched the opening cinematic, get into the game and it was reset. I damn near cried because I worked really hard to get a bunch of money for the Smackdown mall and unlock those wrestlers. All of it, gone. Imagine being a little kid doing that work and having something go “nah never mind lol”, just soul crushing.

[@616Entertainment]

Duuuuude heartbreaker.

[@qkomodo9098]

Dude, I thought you did this Retrospective years ago before I realized you hadn't yet.. BIG UPS

[@616Entertainment]

Nope, it was long awaited.

[@jessefernicola8832]

I'm laughing because I had a similar story to "javon" but it was a CAW named Johnny that had the rock's $800 shirt, default gear and an afro. He was the world champ, made my CAW to be his tag partner and did a whole angle as I was creating the game world. Amazing memories.

[@616Entertainment]

[@alec2000]

Words cannot describe how much this game means to me. When I played it for the first time back in 2018, it was honestly the greatest day of my life. The magical gameplay, the total freedom you have with everything, movement, customization, rules, everything, was incredible, and that overall vibe to it, was insane and it sucks that we cannot get this magic combined with the days of sleepovers with our friends, ever again. These were the days, and I would kill to go back and replay the PS2 with my friends anytime of the day. This video was truly a masterpiece, Ian, and I can’t thank you enough for your performance here. In my opinion, your best video up to date, and a fantastic return to my favorite series in your channel. I cannot wait for the next one, as SVR 2007 is my ALL time favorite wrestling game and I can’t wait to share with you my stories with it when we get there.😊 Thank you again, Ian for bringing this series back and starting it with a bang. See you and the DanDans next time, and I love you all.😊❤️

[@earlsanders1468]

Yep We played this game for hours. Every Friday night me and my cousins would grab a controller get together for sleepover. I was born in 90 and was in the 4th or 5th grade too and every weekend was a blast. I was a N64 kid. Thanks for taking us down memory lane man.

I didn’t start watching pro wrestling till 2005, No Mercy and WCW NWO Revenge are timeless classics

[@616Entertainment]

Absolutely, absolutely.

[@shiningwizard327]

As for the Save Erasing glitch, I can tell you that it happened to me and my friends MANY times. It even happened mid-match! We all had our own CAWs, and during the entrance, one of our CAWs came out wearing only black underwear, pale skin, and had The Rock's face. And on top of that, the blank CAW didn't even have a walk animation. He was just in an idle pose, and glided into the ring. And there was no theme music. It was creepy. When the match started, the CAW was back to normal, but when the match was over, all of our CAWs and progress in the game had been deleted. So yes, the Save Erase glitch was common.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude that’s legit scary. First time I’ve heard it told like that!

[@Sly_Maverick_31]

Bruh, that sounds like it could be an old creepypasta from the early 2010's.

[@rdpruett88]

Everytime when I think of WWF No Mercy, I always think about the simple times when me and my brothers played the game for hours. One of my favorite things to do was making CAWs. My best work was a CAW for my older brother, Havoc. My own favorite that I made was high flying tall man named Colt

23 years ago, my daughter was just born. I didn't get to enjoy "No Mercy" when it came out... I went right from "WM 2000" to "Smackdown: Know Your Role". Now? He he... I play "No Mercy" on my phone! Quality content as always, Ian. Welcome back TXSO!

[@Allencartercomix]

I remember picking up the game the week it came out, but it was only at a shop (Software Etc.) 30 miles across town. I didn't have a car or license yet, so I took a 90-minute bus ride there and back home to pick it up. It was still worth it, of course: Exhibition title defenses, champions coming out wearing belts, only added to the already excellent gameplay and story modes. The only downside other than the occasional game slowdowns during some matches were no entrances all the way to the ring. Also, the legendary menu screen music stuck in our heads forever: Dig, dig, dig dig-diggety-dog!

[@616Entertainment]

I made a point to use the No Mercy soundtrack for this video to give it that special feel, absolutely.

[@Godzilla1982]

I like how you illustrate how this is better than SmackDown 1&2 (CPU wrestlers not selling shit, the crappy SD ladder matches, etc) but I did NOT care for No Mercy's cage match since you cannot jump off the top of the cage and that's the most important feature in a cage match to me. But yeah the "run the guy across the ring and throw them into the cage" move in NM was awesome.

[@616Entertainment]

The triumphant return of Triangle X Squared O 🎉 So glad to have this one back 🥳 Like yourself, I didn’t grow up with a Nintendo 64, so any games exclusive to that console were experienced at the homes of friends and neighbors. In terms of the AKI games, I was thankfully able to experience WCW/nWo Revenge and Wrestlemania 2000, but unfortunately, none of friends at that time had No Mercy. I still don’t have an N64, so I don’t know if I’ll ever have the opportunity to play this game, sadly.

I have been trying to find it to show my girlfriend because we taped it before her and I had even met (we met at the All Out 2021 PPV which of course was over Top Guy Weekend); but yeah,I was telling her how knowledgeable you were on the wrestling genre of games, how chill you were & how much fun I had with all of you all. Meeting the THQ employee was cool at too. Dude was the reason I had so many great memories of playing video games against my cousins for so many years as a kid and I owe that man an insane amount of gratitude. Thanks for always having kick ass content, being cool af; and for always having some cool, lesser known facts about the game(s) you’re covering.

I didn't have the chance to play No Mercy until 2019 because the game is 7 months older than me, but when I picked it up there was no looking back. Now after I finished the game, I had to say, it was worth the time and it is still a fun game if you keep in mind that the game is 22 years old. And just as everyone else I have to leave my own touch when it comes to customization, for me it's changing the referee attires or the very similar attires to a more modern or a classic look. Your video was amazing and I look forward for the next episode.

This made my heart happy. I still play No Mercy to this day on the same N64 I've had since 97. They were built like tanks. Still wish the "Feel the Bang" WCW mod would've been an actual game. PS, love your vids, dude. Amazing work!

[@616Entertainment]

It was kinda supposed to be, AKI was lined up to do WCW Mayhem 2 on the PS2 before they went out of business.

[@davidkotansky5904]

@616Entertainment anyone else disappointed we never got Mayhem 2? I think with advancing technology around those times WCW could've regained their Von Erich-like grip.

[@LinusKnight]

This video made me feel better about my negative outlook on life as a 33yo and feeling blah. thank you for your videos

[@derekwilliamwawrow]

I appreciate the condolences. After a 12 year gap between 100%ing all belts in championship mode, I wanted to boot up the game to make sure the N64 works. All progress, all gone :( at least the N64 works! Give my regards to Javon! Love the videos!!

[@dennisallen8304]

Must've looked away the first time at the Juicy J cut in there, terrific little throwaway clip. Love your content, it's been my go to for a while recently.

One of my earliest memories ever was Xmas 2000 when my older brother got the game. He loved being Perry Saturn in the wwf title mode as his sweep kick eliminates other wresters easily in Royal Rumble mode.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude that kick was unreal.

[@kristofercarter9470]

Wow this game bring back so many awesome times I remember in Christmas back in 2000 no mercy and lot of new new games me and my brothers was so happy to get this game it was awesome thank you 🎅 and mom and dad good times good times.

[@Alfred0Santana]

Legendary. Got so many hours on the 64. Loved the branching story mode too.

[@616Entertainment]

Absolutely.

[@nicolevarnam2290]

Awesome Video as Always My Dude! Thanks So Much 🤘💙😝💙🤘

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching!

[@punklover99]

The fact that it's still being modded and updated, someone even using the assets to make an aew variant says a lot about how good the bones of the game are

[@616Entertainment]

Absolutely.

[@brettmcgill5085]

Thank you Ian for helping cure my depression with the best retrospective series out there this season is gonna be lit first no mercy and now svr 07 keep doing you fam ❤️

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching, Brett. We all get down sometimes, just keep your head above water. Keep moving =)

[@CocaCoca44]

This was my favorite game growing up!!!!! The hours spent doing the battle royal to unlock all the hidden characters. God that was so much fun!

[@IamSullee]

Yet another great video brotha! So many great memories playing WWF No Mercy, I was one of the unlucky ones that got a faulty game and my parents had to sen day copy in to be replaced.

[@616Entertainment]

At least you got the swap out. Thanks for watching!

[@IamSullee]

@@616Entertainment hell yeah!

[@conradicus45]

You are one of my favourite channels! Keep up the awesome work and content!!

[@616Entertainment]

Plenty more to come, thanks Conrad.

[@EmmettXIV]

19:20 this game is what got me into wrestling. It takes me back to a time playing this game with my cousin and friends at the time. I was in elementary school and N64 was life. I really just played Survival Mode over and over to get money to unlock everything. Eventually I even got enough to unlock the Ho, it was insane. The nostalgia talk is real though, I can go play this game again right now but it's not the same because my cousin and my childhood friends aren't here with me anymore. It's a different time, it's a different world. I'm just happy I got to experience it when I did. 17:58 after putting countless hours into the game, this happened to my copy of the game so I must've had one of the early cartridges, which sucks. No Mercy is such a good game though, I didn't mind doing it again.

[@eynngoldston13]

Man the nostalgia... you took me back to my childhood good times

[@616Entertainment]

That's the idea! Plenty more to come and plenty more already on the channel. Stick around!

[@EliteEasyE]

You could grab weapons from the side of the stages and specifically behind the sandbags at Armageddon. You could pull weapons from the lockers/cubbies as well.

[@616Entertainment]

I know! I covered that in the other AKI games, didn't want to repeat myself.

[@EliteEasyE]

@@616Entertainment Of course! Shared this vid in a couple discords. People recognized the 616 brand and responded positively.

[@MCastleberry1980]

I think more people need to admit that nostalgia can never TRULY be recapured. I have great memories of D&D sleepovers and playing WCW vs nWo World Tour late at night after D&D. Yes the game was fun, but it was my friends that made it. WWF Warzone on retrospect is ass, but I played it with my best friends (all the CAWs were in DX) so I can never truly hate the game. It's like when I went to my 20 year high school reunion in 2019. Was it fun seeing some folks? Sure.. but all my closest friends had long since moved all over the country and weren't there, so I left just kinda feeling sad because you can't ever get those days back.

[@matthewskipper]

Love all your videos brother. They always help me get through my day

[@DowSimmons23]

well done man. You continue to do great work and these games justice!

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks man! Plenty more to come.

[@blakesterling4744]

I never played this game as a kid if i did I don’t remember it but bring back so many memories of that time period

[@616Entertainment]

Absolutely!

[@jonbourgoin182]

I hope you'll talk about Raw 2 on the original Xbox at some point. It was the only halfway decent wrestling game that the Xbox got exclusively. Also, a preemptive congrats on 100k subs! I'd be very surprised if you didn't reach that very impressive milestone by the time the year is half over. you should probably be able to reach it by sometime in May at the very least. You deserve it.

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks man, I'm trying my hardest to get there. I need an Xbox to cover RAW and RAW 2. =/

[@michaelhutton8554]

WWF No Mercy is so fun to pick up and play all these years later!

[@devious187]

The game itself already has a ton of replayability, but with the insane number and quality of mods out there have just kept this game going, and going, and going... and going

[@BlazinVoorhees]

Another well done retrospective! You hit the nail on the head about the nostalgia. However I'm completely blown away you never mentioned that dig dig diggity dog socko song in the main menu haha

[@616Entertainment]

The soundtrack is playing underneath the entire video, man.

[@BlazinVoorhees]

Another defensive reply from the man himself. I'd shit if I ever got a reply just saying "glad you liked the video"

[@616Entertainment]

@@BlazinVoorhees I respond positively to 99% of comments, my dude. But when you watch a 30 minute video and decide to comment on something that's not there, do you want me to ignore the thing you brought up? There are automated "Thanks!" "Appreciated!" "Nice!" responses, should I just use those? lol

[@wildel521]

Your wrestling retrospectives = Comfort food for my soul.

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching, man.
