Nintendo 64 Longplay [047] WCW vs. nWo - World Tour

www.longplays.org
Played by: Tarosan
WCW vs nWo: World Tour is a professional wrestling video game released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64 game
console. Released at the peak of World Championship Wrestling's dominance in the Monday Night Wars, World Tour was
THQ's first foray into the N64 wrestling scene and is a semi sequel to the lesser known WCW vs. The World for the
PlayStation. It is considered the American counterpart to Japan's Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 and is the second
best-selling wrestling game for the N64 console.
Asmik Ace Entertainment and AKI approached the title by producing a wrestling game similar to Puroresu and fighting
games. The resulting game was well received for its tight construction and ease of play, especially compared to
Acclaim's comparatively more difficult and convoluted game, WWF War Zone. In fact, the playing style of World Tour,
namely its revolutionary "grappling system," set a standard for pro wrestling video games to be expanded in future
THQ titles for many years following.
World Tour served as a strong foundation for future THQ wrestling games. Its sequel, WCW/nWo Revenge, would built upon
the engine tremendously by introducing ring entrances, improved graphics, more arenas, more signature moves, actual
WCW championships, attire modification, and other improvements.
The first in a long line of Nintendo 64 Wrestling games from AKI and whilst it was a foundation
for future titles in this series like Revenge, Wrestlemania and No Mercy, it's still a pretty good wrestling game
for multiple friends to play with.
Now what I did here was use Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Saladin who is Abdullah the Butcher, Black Ninja aka The Great
Sasuke and finally the stupidly long and hard all wrestling championship won by one of the greatest wrestlers of all
time the Macho Man Randy Savage.
This longplay is a tribute to his charisma, intelligence and great ring persona on and off the mic.
BONESAW IS READY!!!! -

This game was the beginning of something great. The THQ wrestling games on N64 are still the best to this day! We wasted countless hours of our teenage years playing them, and it all started with this one.

[@417Graphix]

[@gamephreak5]

Tracarris Wince Mario Kart was one of THE reasons to get an N64 when it launched, and was enjoyed by everyone of all age groups. You're the idiot here if you think only kids can enjoy anything Mario related. WCW vs NWO wasn't anywhere near the quality of all those games that guy listed, let alone of high enough quality by itself to get a system for.

[@417Graphix]

gamephreak5 And so was this. Without it there wouldnt have been WWF No Mercy which to this day is one of the top 3 best wrestling games ever made. It still gets modded and updated constantly on PCs

[@shaolinlueb]

+Tracarris Wince This game had a lot more playing time on my N64 than Mario Kart 64. 2nd was probably Zelda just because it was an action RPG.

[@Vath121]

I'd have like 30 minute matches with friends and family since you used to be able to tap the control stick to get out of pins and submissions right away. Hollywood Hogan vs Sting, what their Starrcade '97 match should have been. Hogan was so done that he tapped out immediately to the Scorpion Deathlock, hitting the stick didn't even matter after half hour. Wish I could have recorded it, it would certainly be better than anything on TV today xD.

[@GMSpectre]

Also the Japanese version (Virtua Pro Wrestling) had most of this roster, and added a ton of wrestlers from the world making to equivalent to a FirePro game. Sort of a WCW vs NWO World Tour expansion pack.

I was unbeatable at this game. I searched for a competition. Use to use Norton. My timing to reverse punches and grabs was second to none. The timing on the later versions didn't need to be so precise.i recall rocking over to my mates brother's house where he and his buddies played the later version (revenge?) all day long. Withing 10min I was kicking their butts by reversing all of their moves. I'm looking to get a N64 just for this game, golden eye, Mario cart and Perfect Dark which I believe was the most underrated multi-player shooting game of all time

[@aidenhorton18]

They clearly should've made the roster more like the Japanese version. I mean who wouldn't want characters like Terry Funk, Vader, the Road Warriors, Bruiser Brody or Stan Hansen as well? Also Dead or Alive wrestling was based on FMW which more or less influenced ECW (See Dark side of the Ring: Onita and FMW), and Independent Union was based on Michinoku Pro (an independent wrestling promotion in North Japan).

Since when did Ric Flair ever do what you see around 8:48-8:53, for example in a match?... I was born in early-January of 1989 & as long as I've been both following & watching pro wrestling, I don't recall ever seeing Ric Flair do anything like that in a match.
