(RIP Scott Hall/Razor Ramon) WWF WrestleMania The Arcade Game - World Title Playthrough

[@aggynu]

I don't know how they mapped the real life skin graphs over these 64 bit moves, but these are still the most realistic portrayals of the wrestlers to date. If someone could map that tech to today's gaming engines, you'd have the perfect wrestling game.

[@sidgar1]

It's just stop-motion animation. They take real-life footage of the wrestlers in a studio against a green screen or other background and convert the images into animation frames for sprites. The tech for mapping real-world people and objects to 3d renders in modern games already exists and has been used for sports games to portray real-life athletes. More recently, Unreal Engine 5 and the upcoming Bethesda Elder Scrolls 6 engine allow the developers to use photos of real life terrain and automatically generate 3d environments solely from the photos. It's amazing.

It's just digitized sprites, they were all over the 90's. Donkey Kong Country and Mortal Kombat etc.

[@steveshepard88]

What’s funny about this is either Scott Hall or a friend of his owned this game on its arcade cabinet and Scott was watching one of his buddies play it as him and Scott says: “Awww man I can’t believe you had me job out to Bret” after his friend loses. 😂👍 He also had a funny remark when his buddy took Razor to the top rope as he said something along the lines of: “Yeah, because I was always known for my aerial offense”.😅 Anyway this was all posted on Scott Hall’s old KZbin channel.

I have the SNES version of this game I was disappointed as a kid when I first saw that Yokozuna and Bam Bam wasn't in that version

[@mannyphantom0]

Brother that combo at 1:40 was straight outta the classic Mortal Kombat games from that time and in fact, this actually plays like the old MK games!

This was how I was introduced to Razor Ramon (and the rest), but through the PS1 port.

I used to dominate this game with Bam Bam Bigelow. His combo and grapple/throw game are unmatched in this title. Still the most fun wrestling game I've ever played.

[@FoolishFlock]

i remember getting a used Super Nintendo console as a kid & a few games & a 2nd. Controller to go with it at my local video games & electronics store up the street from where i lived at the timez! & on my walk back home i had brought it over my one childhood friend's house who lived a couple houses down from me! to play it with him! & i had played quite a bit of older consoles previously before this as a kid consoles like Atari-2600, NES, SNES, & Sega-Genesis, & so old games & gaming was nothing new to me! But to my friend his first ever system experiences was PS1 & then later on at this time the PS2 & playing his cousins Original XBOX! & so he really didn't know any of the older game's except he said he played like a little tiny bit Super-Mario-Brothers-2-&-3 on the NES with his Dad! once or twice! & year's!! ago!! when he was really super! young! & so he was ALL like what the Heck!? is that old ass ancient looking thing you trying to hook up on my dang TV Set!? & i said it's a Super-Nintendo! man! & it's awesome it's got a TON of Games! available for it! like shitloads!! & most are really good classic game's! & he was like No way! get the heck outta here! they probably suck! look how old this thing is! & the graphics & stuff probably are cheesy & suck!! Why did you buy this piece of junk when you already got a PS2 & N64 & GameCube!? you could have bought a game for one of those instead! & i said because Super-Nintendo is awesome there wouldn't be any N64 or any of those other ones without Super-Nintendo & i said here it's hooked up let's play it!! & out of the 3 or 4 game's with it got this WWF Wrestlemania Game was the first i popped in & i turned the SNES on! & my friend was skeptical making fun of the startup screens & stuff but by 15 minutes into playing he was hooked & he wouldn't let me turn the system off even when my Mom called & said i had to go back home! & he was all like can i borrow everything till tomorrow please!? & i was like WHY i thought Super-Nintendo & ALL the old games Sucked & are Cheesy! & he was like ok ok BUT i changed my mind! & i just laughed & said i couldn't let him borrow it that day because i had to bring it back home first to show my parents what i spent my money on!! & that i would let him borrow it tomorrow after school! or whatever! & he was like awww ok!
