The History of WWF Wrestlefest remastered - arcade documentary

[@bluetiger8716]

I remember seeing WWF WrestleFest in the arcade for the first time and being absolutely blown away - it was a total dream come true! 🤩 This game has never left any of my Top 10 favorite arcade games lists and it never will. I never knew The Undertaker was supposed to be in the game (?!) 😮 I’m imagining how that would look from the ring entrance to the stylized name graphics in the ring and moves. Definitely would have been PHENOMenal! ⚱️ Thank you so much again for the amount of effort and work you put into these documentaries. My time in the arcades was a special one and I love reliving those moments with your videos. Take Care! 😊

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I appreciate the nice words. This is by far my absolute favorite wrestling arcade game and definitely in my top 10 of all time. I'm glad back at scratch that nostalgic itch

[@JoWBloE]

My favorite memory with WWF superstars arcade was that my friend and I misheard Andres’ quote as “ no one can eat mailbox”. It’s still conversation fodder to this day

[@XrisD147]

This is my most favorite arcade game ever I would always drop 3 or 4 quid in it for an hour or so every time I saw it in an arcade, and it was out there in the arcades for years after it came out. I also really loved MK I & II and SFII & III and TMNT arcade.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes sir, whenever I would see it I would have to play it

[@TheMathius78]

This game needs a re-release so so badly. I got to play on a real cab at MGC last month and sadly realized how rusty I had gotten at it.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I agree but it will never happen due to the licensing of each character involved.

[@TheMathius78]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries yep my thoughts exactly.

[@yesticles]

There actually was a plans for a mobile phone game featuring both classic and modern wrestlers in this style of gameplay and visuals, but WWE cancelled it shortly after announcing it. It actually looked really well done, not sure why it was cancelled.

[@yesticles]

Scratch that, it actually did come out, but it was very badly done and the trailers for it used mock up footage that looked great, with the actual game that got a release looking nothing like that and having very shoddy gameplay.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It is one of my favorite arcade wrestling games of all time. It never gets old :-)

[@bigbossman2810]

I loved playing both WWF Superstars & WWF Wrestlefest. I was better at Wrestlefest than Superstars. I was able to beat the Legion of Doom & make to about the 3rd or 4th match after winning the tag titles on one quarter. I've got both on MAME & still play both frequently. It would have been cool if they released a follow-up that updated the roster, allowed for 1-on-1 gameplay, & maybe expanded the roster even more.

[@brandondavenport6147]

This is super 🙂 with great commentary by this dude

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks! 😃

[@JMaxwell85]

An SNES port would have been cool. They could have added some home exclusive gameplay options. Since it presumably wouldn’t have been out until 1992, they also could have updated the roster. Replace Demolition with the Nasty Boys or add Typhoon to pair with Earthquake as the Natural Disasters. We would have lost Warrior had it been placed after he left after SummerSlam 91 and before he came back at WM VIII, but they could have added any combination of great names like Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Undertaker, Roddy Piper, British Bulldog, Sid Justice...lots of great possible names to choose from.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

It would have been cool seeing the game with the updated roster

[@budbundy1978]

This is one of my fav arcade games ever. I can remember winning rumbles and also being thrown out the ring in literally seconds.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, yes I hated that about the rumble. In a matter of seconds you could be thrown over the top rope

[@shareofmoney]

[@gabealexander8878]

One of the biggest problems with the WWE Wrestlefest app was the graphics. They were trying to find a middle ground between the cartoony visuals of the arcade and the more realistic modern wrestling games have. This led to the characters having realistic proportions but having a godawful cel-shaded filter over them. The worst offender was Sheamus. One of Sheamus's defining characteristics has always been his pale skin (i.e. being nicknamed the Great White and move names like White Noise and Pale Justice), however in the game, they actually made his skin *white*. His sprite makes him look like a marshmallow or a block of tofu.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

The graphics and especially the animation were terrible. You're right, the middle ground they were trying to get just did not work. LOL at the marshmallow comment

[@badgerbhoy9534]

[@earthjin2000]

I remember joining a royal rumble game with Earthquake only to be tossed out in record time. Then watching someone else go in and watch it happen to them. Then watch it happen two more times. I think Earthquake is a curse character.

[@onefortheroad2291]

Discovered this game in a local grocery store about 1/2 mile from our house. Me and my brother would walk there just to play it. One day it was gone and this Street Fighter 2 knockoff took its place. Figured it was worth spending our quarters on after the walk. That game was called “Mortal Kombat” in case you ever heard of it....

It always saddened me when I would go to an arcade or gas station to play game and it was gone. I feel your pain
