Every WWF Game on Game Boy and Game Boy Color - SNESdrunk

[@stellaroj]

Never knew how much cooler The Rock would look doing a Shantae walk.

[@Sayquidnidly]

I've said it before but I really love this channel. Not always trying to stretch his videos to 10 minutes. His awareness of just how long he should talk about each game. The approach of truly being informative yet keeping it lively with unique observations and wit without either taking over the theme. The willingness to make a video about a game that there really isn't much to talk about but still uploading it anyway just so people who are trying to get an understanding of the game to decide if they will play it get the answers they're looking for. Actually being original because I've watched a good many videos about old school video games, probably thousands for real, and he manages to not come across as a clone of any of those dozens of other youtubers. And of course and perhaps most importantly, he always thanks me for watching and hopes I have a great rest of my day. You're a good lad snesdrunk.

[@travisshallenberger9486]

Honestly, he acts like that cool older kid at lunch who just tells you about games & stuff. Not posturing, not trying too hard, just giving good honest reviews without pretension.

[@Sayquidnidly]

@jvalex18 that was the whole point of my comment...... he's not overly concerned with monetization or algorithms. His loyalty is to his subscribers

Honestly I can't recall a single handheld wrestling game in the West being a blow away title until Fire Pro Wrestling for the Game Boy Advance came along.

[@Ramjet164]

MerelyAFan I played the superstars games by borrowing them from friends and loved them. I ended up buying fire pro wrestling on import to take a chance as I’d played the shit out of the wwf games out at that stage. It was a huge win.

[@MrVariant]

guess you didn't like ultimate muscle for gba/gamecube (PS2 had terrible announcing/load times). American music in this vid did make me laugh.

[@marccaselle8108]

I bought fire pro wrestling for Gameboy advance brand new back in 2001. I was floored by how deep the moves and the gameplay was. Not only that you had 50 or whatever slots for created wrestlers too

[@marccaselle8108]

WWF wrestlemania 2000 is the best 8 bit Gameboy color wrestling game.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

When I was in the eighth grade, I went on a class trip to Washington DC. I was roommates with two other guys, one of my choosing and one that we got stuck with named Keith. Keith was an okay kid, but he had a way of rubbing *everyone* the wrong way. He told me before the trip that he'd be bringing his Game Boy and that I could play it whenever I wanted, so I took him up on that. I played WWF Superstars 2 (not as The Mountie!) on the second day, and I was so engrossed in this handheld that I'd never played before and in this wrestling game where I could be Jake Roberts or Undertaker, two of my favorites. I was enjoying playing during the bus ride, and Keith fell asleep in the seat next to me. I didn't pay attention to anything but the screen in front of me, so about an hour later, he's freaking out in the seat next to me. I look up and saw that someone had toilet papered him and put a bunch of trash on him. He started screaming "Who did this?" and snatched the Game Boy away from me, demanding that I answer him, but I honestly had no clue. He didn't let me play the Game Boy the rest of the trip.

[@miips_the_mii2877]

This sound like a premise for a WWF Gameboy bundle.

[@bjornh1527]

One of your best videos! I like that it focuses on a niece theme, and your reflections about the times the games were released made it even better!

[@khanthevideogamehunter2946]

Great video soild footage. This was a great walk in the past

[@silentfanatic]

Thanks for the tip on that soundtrack by David Wise. Always love some good Game Boy music.

Total length of video: 695 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 1.5 secs. .21% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."

[@TheMovieCheerPodcast]

Them flying elbows in WWF Superstars are awesome. Great video.

[@RossTheNinja]

I only had the original superstars. After seeing this video, I'm glad

[@Radeo]

I was always on the lookout for games that would overlap with my wrestling fandom, so I am surprised I didn't know about most of these; I was the first kid in my area to get a GameBoy, for Xmas 1989, but one of the last to get an SNES, for Xmas 1993. My parents got me WWF Royal Rumble with that SNES ..used to play two player with my friend, who also owned the game, and try to see how quickly we could work together to throw--->hip toss everyone out, before one of us volunteered to be tossed out. I also remember playing WWF branded games on NES, but most of them sucking, and only the "Pro Wrestling" being any good. I heard Tecmo was also good, but never played it cause I was all about game boy at that point. Patreon is probably the more deserving place for requests but, I've never asked before. It would be really cool if you could do a feature on "Balloon Kid" for GB. It's seriously fun...and seriously difficult. Started playing in 1990, didn't actually beat the game until 2010, 20 years later...There were lots of "enraging" NES games back in the day, but I was too young to know how to rage about games. This one was the first.

[@guillaumeroussin186]

Maybe it's just me but since recently, i finish my pro emails by "Have a great rest of your day"

[@se7enfoot]

Betrayal looks pretty unique & cool, I haven't seen that cart during my trips anywhere.

[@osurpless]

se7enfoot I’ll certainly be on the lookout. Seems like an oddly placed genre entry that was made to be ignored, like the 2004 and 2007 TMNT entries made by Konami. Both are in fact, very solid beatemups as well.

[@se7enfoot]

Only thing about the Gameboy Color special carts is they don't play on the Super Gameboy

I wish the WWE did more quirky games outside of their regular simulation games like Betrayal, Crush Hour, All Stars, I think it’d be neat, I hope for a WWE platformer someday

[@BoboTheVulture]

Speaking of the Mountie (at least briefly in this video), have you seen what the other Quebecer, Pierre Carl Oullet, is up to these days? He's still out there and arguably better now at 50 than he was then!

That theme you like... sounds like the "Player 1" Wrestler Theme in WWF Wrestlemania Challenge, just at a slower pace! Rare reusing music and expanding gameplay from an NES title... kinda mindblowing when you think about it.

[@ColonelNegative]

Great video, Drunk!

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

I had WWF SuperStars WWF SuperStars 2, WWF Attitude, WWF WrestleMania 2000 (GBC) , WWE Road To WrestleMania X8 (GBA) , WWF Road To WrestleMania (GBA), WWE Survivor Series (GBA). I'm 37 and played the hell out of them and on NES and SNES WWF games as well

[@TheGoddamnJefe]

Ah yes. My favorite wrestler from the early 90’s, “Drunk”. Edgy for the time.

[@WrestlingRambles89]

Damn, Warzone and Attitude on PS1 were some of my favourite games at the time, shame the GB versions sucked! Cool video!

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I loved Warzone until I played WCW/nWo Revenge. While I liked the WWE product at the time better than the WCW product, in terms of gameplay, Revenge just blew me away. It didn't have a true create-a-player, obviously, but you could customize existing wrestlers. For example, I had the game during the time in WCW where Rey Mysterio was beating the bigger wrestlers by kicking them in the balls, which I hated, so I made a variation of Rey called Gay Rey and had him beaten down in handicap matches all the time. The grappling system just felt so right, you could make nearly any kind of match you wanted, and the roster was huge. I don't think I ever played Warzone after getting Revenge, but then again, I rarely played Revenge once WWF No Mercy came out. That's still my favorite wrestling game of all time.

[@jediknightgeo]

Warzone & Attitude were GARBAGE. Every version of it was trash.

[@marccaselle8108]

@Mike fun fact WWF raw on Gameboy does not have finisher. The game gear version of WWF raw has finishers.

[@aaron.aceves]

I love your channel and the amazing games your content have introduce me. I have a question for you, what software you use to make your voice overs?

[@oasisbeyond]

THE MOUNTY!!!! MUST BUY! GO QUEBEC!

[@shaggyturtlestudios]

I definitely wasn’t expecting that last one. I love Beat-Em-Ups and wrestling, so I’m gonna have to look into that. Now, the question is how do we convince WWE and WayForward to work together so we can get another one of those? Imagine a WWE betrayal game in the gameplay style of River City with more characters. I need that.

[@UltimateCarl]

Right? Especially after River City Girls, I'm just over here picturing a River City Ransom EX-style game where you can recruit a team of up to 4 other wrestlers through random events and dialogue choices and even include a create-a-character mode...

[@shaggyturtlestudios]

UltimateCarl that would kick so much ass. The only question is which wrestlers would they include? I’ll admit, I stopped following WWE a few years ago. Only really watch the occasional Pay-Per-View. So I don’t know which characters WWE would push for in a game like that. Speaking of create-a-wrestler, I actually started playing a Super Famicom wrestling game called Hybrid Wrestler recently. And it is AWESOME. It’s by technos and while it’s not as good as their WWF arcade games, it’s pretty fun! Even has a partial English translation. SNESDrunk didn’t cover it in his SNES Wrestling games videos. So if he ends up reading this somehow, I’d love to see his thoughts on that game.

[@UltimateCarl]

@@shaggyturtlestudios Honestly I don't really follow WWF anymore either. If anything I'd want it to have guys from Lucha Underground.

@@krmdagger1126 that's more Dan's thing I'm afraid.

[@Larry]

There was a retrospective on WWF games on KZbin years ago, can't for the life of me remember who made it, but he showed The Million Dollar Man's theme was taken from one of those cheesy Summerslam albums the WWF used to release every year with all the wrestlers desperately attempting to sing (Listen to Bret Hart's "It's hard to say goodbye" it's horrible and aazing at the same time.) But the reason he had a different song was DiBiase was walking into the ring in silence at the time this game was made. Same with Andre's being different in Westlemania Challenge.

[@TamerlanOfficial]

Ahh...I remember getting Attitude on GBC back in the day. Part of me knew how terrible the game was, but I didn't care, because it's WWE Attitude *on the go*, damn it (PSX version being one of my favorite games at the time). I think that the ever looping theme tune of that port will forever be engraved on my brain.

[@ValkyrieTiara]

No comment on The Rock stomping around in that last game with the one eyebrow constantly raised? That's the best part of this whole video! ALMOST enough to make me want to play it. Almost.

The mountie was clearly supposed to be Sgt Slaughter, something must have happened with copyright or something.

[@se7enfoot]

G.I. joes licencing with The Toy company perhaps

[@YukaTakeuchiFan]

Hard to say; "The Mountie" actually WAS a wrestler in the 90s, but I agree that on the Game Boy, it probably wouldn't take much to edit Sgt. Slaughter into The Mountie, either - but Technos' "WWF Wrestlefest" had Sgt. Slaughter as one of the playable characters, without apparent issue, just the year prior, so who the heck even knows, I guess.

[@bobbydazzler329]

Mountie was the intercontinental champ around that time that's why hes there

[@TransmitHim]

Ah, Gameboy Attitude and Warzone. Two Christmases in a row were, well not ruined, but ended up supremely underwhelming thanks to those games. First year, I asked for Warzone on the N64 and received the GB version (which you'd think even non-gamers like my parents would have been able to tell weren't at all comparable). Dutifully played it enough to seem grateful, but man was it bad. The next year, I had Attitude on the N64 already, so was fine on that front. Can't remember what I actually asked for that Christmas, but it was definitely not the crappy GB port of a game I already owned that played the same as the one I got the previous year. But, there came Christmas morning and I was handed a present that was clearly a GB game and I just knew it was going to be Attitude. Unwrapped it and was left thinking "oh, this again. Joy." (and yes #firstworldproblems, obv).

[@jay_ay_why]

Wrestlemania 19 on GameCube had a similar weird career mode like betrayal where you beat up random workers, dock workers, security guards etc. With other wrestlers appearing as either mini bosses throughout the level or that level boss, the story is about ruining wrestlemania as revenge for being fired.

[@jamesgruesome9780]

Superstars is still fun. One of the better WWF games actually on Nes or GB

[@timmer919hep]

If you think Betrayal's story is silly, you should check out the story mode in Wrestlemania XIX on the gamecube. You work for Stephanie and go around weird environments like a construction site, the mall and a parking garage and beat up security guards, construction workers, etc to smash up the environment to ruin wrestlemania for Vince.
