WWF Wrestlemania Challenge (NES) Playthrough

[@NintendoComplete]

WWF Wrestlemania Challenge is such a massive improvement over the original game!

[@danalong1237]

After this game, development switched to Sculptured Software/Acclaim Studios Salt Lake City, until THQ acquired the WWE license from Acclaim in 1999.

[@ElephantMariotheRHDNhater3293]

And quite an achievement cosnidering it's from LJN!

[@soullessoutcast]

I did like the first one's soundtrack, though. 8bit remix of entrance songs. The gameplay of this one is better.

[@solarflare9078]

@@ElephantMariotheRHDNhater3293 It's actually from Rareware

[@RickyIcecubes]

True, but that's not saying much. WCW's game is better than this one. Tecmo World Wrestling is the best wrestling game on NES.

[@BenJabituya]

RIP to the following WWE legends “Ravishing” Rick Rude Big Boss Man The Ultimate Warrior Andre The Giant And “Macho King” Randy Savage

[@epcotman32]

Yourself is immortal then.

Bossman walking over like Alright son

Love the 8 bit sounds of the wrestlers themes

[@danalong1237]

They were all arranged by David Wise, who was no Jim Johnston.

[@DerivativeWorker]

When Jim Dugen charged NC and he immediately jumped out the ring, I laughed.

[@wattaara]

i still love the detail and perspective you give for each game in your video descriptions.

[@NintendoComplete]

Thanks! 😊

[@oxygeninterface]

as do i. his reviews are always so extremely well thought-out and beautifully constructed.

[@Davidcorvelo38]

"Step Into The Ring If Your Tough Enough For This Challenge Oh Yeah!!!

[@francisjosephmanuel4923]

0:07 R.I.P. Ultimate Warrior and 10th death anniversary.

[@danalong1237]

And the spirit of The Ultimate Warrior will run forever!

[@CMmeows]

That moment you know its Wrestlemania season when you see a notification saying a playthrough of wrestling games come in like Hulkamania running wild, brother!

[@donaldsmith8648]

Old school Wednesday

[@VahanNisanian]

AVGN: Trying to hit a guy here is like trying to hit a grain of sand with a tennis racket while Andre the Giant farts directly into your nostrils.

[@NintendoComplete]

That dude has a serious o-ring fixation.

[@danalong1237]

All 8 of the featured WWF Superstars are in the WWE Hall of Fame.

[@moviemetalhead]

All but 3 are still among the living, as of March '24.

[@francisjosephmanuel4923]

@moviemetalhead Hulk Hogan, Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Brutus 'The Bareber' Beefcake are still around.

[@chadkennedy7855]

That also include Andre the Giant because he's dead, stupid!

[@Gambit17]

I remember talking about this game with a couple of friends of mine. We were all like "Wait, THIS was LJN? But it's so good!" Not to mention it was one of the few wrestling games where the manual actually tells you how to try to kick out if you're pinned.

[@johngavalas712]

5:12 what athleticism from andre the way he hopped over the top rope with ease

[@TheLightShow2]

The intro theme still🔥

[@ValiantWrestling]

WWF Legends Challenge 64 No Mercy mod has an excellent remake of the title music.

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

I Want to Play as Hulk Hogan

[@drez0352]

The character select screen music is 🔥

[@NM-so8kh]

This game was awesome

[@DerivativeWorker]

Ultimate warrior is more intimidating than any final boss Ive seen.

[@NintendoComplete]

Cocaine is one helluva drug, ain't it?

[@renatmamyshev159]

Некоторые музыкалье фрагменты до боли напоминают Battletoads&Double Dragon .

[@tosspot1305]

The 8bit sound design from Rare in the era is outstanding. Snake Rattle and Roll had amazing tracks aswell

[@clover831]

Bruti "the barber" BEEEFFFFFF-CAKE.💪💈

[@SomeOrangeCat]

These old licensed wrestling games make me sad, as most of the roster are either no longer with us, or went on to become absolute disgraces.

[@syteanric]

Hacksaw jim is on the game. A hero who has never disgraced himself

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@syteanric A true rarity.

[@RacingPoint-io8yk]

this legendary character selection sountrack. 0:54

[@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo]

Man the memories my first ever wrestling game i got my nes December '89 & this not long after i always pretended the guy was Marty Jannetty because for some reason he was my favourite when i was 7 😂

[@Bhughe4]

My brother and I were 8 & 10 when this came out. We pretended the Yourself character was Barry Horowitz 🤣 none of the neighborhood kids wanted to play that character. We wanted to be the WWF superstars.

[@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo]

@@Bhughe4 haha pat on the back for the best jobber there ever was, I think I pretended to be Piper if memory serves me he wasn't there. I literally this moment just bought a WWF Hasbro bundle with all the tag teams together 🤣

[@sp8715]

Love this game

[@LOCKYCHARMZ]

The way Andre moved out of the way from the top ropes leg drop was wild..lol.😅

[@tommymorgan73]

Unbelievable!!! So good!!

[@DerPerfekteDeutsche]

Und alle unsere Kindheitsträume sind in Erfüllung gegangen. Wir haben uns das als Kinder immer gewünscht so wie heute bei 2K . Der Einmarsch. Mega. Früher standen wir direkt im Ring. Mega

[@BloodWolf2005]

It always ticked me off when I was Andre and Ultimate Warrior threw me out. I COULD NOT figure out how to get Andre back into the ring.

[@RoyStantz]

I remember getting this for Christmas 1991, and then watching Kendo Nagasaki play it on the first series of GamesMaster the following year.

[@BloodWolf2005]

How are you getting your teammates to pick a fight in and out of the ring? Mine always walked back and forth and waited for a tag to swap out.

[@chapingaryjr]

I always loved it played the theme of who you were wrestling throughout the match

[@lennykoncewicz]

I had this and Wrestlemania. I played this one constantly cause..well...wrestlemania sucked ass. This brings back memories of me being 6 years old and gaming in my room. I miss those days.

[@budamania1989]

Thanks for playing this

[@bigduke5902]

In the brief period of my life when I and most other people my age watched professional wrestling, and before I learned the term "jobber", I used to refer to those kinds of wrestlers as "Yourself" much to my own amusement.

[@ziegly]

4:00 looks like someone doesn't really like Duggan's silly theme 😆

[@wallyhack5476]

What a game !!!!

[@xGodofAcidx]

Do other people not know the easy way to beat Duggan? Just go to a corner, let him run at you, move, go to the other corner and repeat

[@KirksCORNER1983]

Just bought this complete in box off ebay

[@Dorian_Scott]

Wrestlemania Challenge is... a game. It's most certainly a game.😂

[@malayaliobservant8915]

I always choose Ultimate warrior, coz he's the only one who can easily throw the opponents over the rope

[@areallg17]

Weird I remember the 1st game but not this wtf

[@JoelPerez-iq7vr]

Joel perez as ultimate warrior

[@Viprz]

WWF games for the NES were terrible. This one was a slight improvement over it's predecessor, which was released a year earlier, but they were so bland with bad graphics (even for that time) and all the characters had the exact same moves. If you want to see what I mean, play Tecmo World Wrestling which was released in 1989. It was light years ahead of the WWF games and is actually still fun to play to this day. Still one of my favorite games on the NES.

[@JuraIbis]

No rope action? This is pretty disappointing.

[@chaunseybillings5381]

I remember i paid 50 dollars for this bullshit

[@alabdel1388]

Good grief the wwf games sucked back then...even during that time. The generic "pro wresting" on the NES was leagues better than this garbage. Smh lol

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Pro Wrestling was indeed awesome, but how was it better than this game dude? It's basically the exact same game and gameplay/controls, but at least Wrestlemania Challenge offers a roster of real wrestlers and some tag team action. 🤔

[@calfong1030]

It's another trash from LJN.

[@Surfer041]

Awful game

[@chrismaddin2289]

Classic game I had this back in the days.
