SVGR - WCW/nWo Revenge (Nintendo 64) *RE-REVIEW*

[@4packdaddy]

Who else noticed that if you edit the default attire for any wrestlers that show up in the intro movie their clothes will change in the intro accordingly! The attention to detail here is just excellent!! They just nailed it with this game!

[@t99155]

💯💯💯💯💯💯 I remember that!

[@merkcityboy834]

Yea an if you press start during the intro movie when it turns to black an white the belts will turn silver..

[@KurtSteph87]

Yup! No mercy did this as well! Revenge did it first tho

[@LordRoyalTee]

Everyone remembers bro. That was my whole reason for customizing them. It was cool to see as a kid

[@LaCourierInCrysis]

Yup I played this in prison we got two 30min slots a day and most people wouldn't show up to there turn so I played as much as I could. I would always change the attire

[@nmj530]

THQ was ahead of their time with their wrestling games.

[@USAMAURICE42]

I agree

[@Chemical.Corpse]

Here comes the pain is still better

[@gunneredwards7710]

Chemical Corpse here comes the pain was the shit!! Defiantly needs to be remastered, hell both of them for that matter

[@jm3756]

They were ahead of the future, too. No wrestling game series has had the feel of these that made them so fucking great. God bless these games and god bless No Mercy modders.

[@jm3756]

Chemical Corpse maybe in game options but not even close in terms of bare bones game play.

[@gregorycritch2129]

It's still to this day (2022) THE best wrestling game I have ever played.

[@mcgritty8842]

Hands down the best

[@Kspat2]

I’ll never forget when it launched and begging my mom to take me to blockbuster to get a rental. The days man the days.

[@markgjurashaj6558]

this akai engine was unbelievable for its time and still has not been beaten. it's a shame how the smackdown games, excellent in presentation, graphics, music, and atmosphere; still fail in the most important aspect of all.

[@RichManZ]

Great review bro. I always come back to play this one, World Tour, Wrestle mania 2000 and No Mercy. All the games are legendary man.

[@NikateeN]

Rich Manz thanks! The N64 had some GREAT wrestling titles!

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

I loved this game as a kid

[@agiammarco94]

Loved and grew up with this game. I love how you can attack the managers and the ding that happens whenever there's a lowblow

[@alexmchugh7783]

Still the best evenflow ddt animation in a game so far.....

[@chuckwalker5793]

Alex McHugh Quote the Raven...... nevermore.

[@thisisnotachannel]

They re-used it in WM2000. They called it the "Flowing DDT".

[@WillieFresh]

@@thisisnotachannel yup . I use to give it to one of my created wrestlers as a finisher. I love the kick before the ddt

[@JRWeezy84]

you can tell the dev team that made this game were real wcw fans. i loved this game as a kid

[@cherokeefit4248]

This era of gaming will always be special to me. I’ll always remember this game for its amazing set of characters and the fixes they made from the game prior. I always remember the taste of Barq’s cream soda when I see this game as that’s what my friends I drank when playing this game ,ate night on the weekends with loads of 420 lol

[@earlsanders1468]

Man I rewatch your videos over and over. I feels so good to travel back in time to my childhood while watching your videos. Subscribed!!

[@marcosgarcia25]

Many hours of battle with my brother, friends, and cousin. This game was so dope!

[@Drummer8282]

When showcasing the various Diamond Cutters, you missed the one where you toss your opponent into the ropes and when they come running back at you, you press the analog stick and DDP will throw the opponent into the air and catch them with a Diamond Cutter when he catches them. I was always impressed that they gave DDP 3 ways to hit the cutter. Also, Nash could hit the jackknife off the ring apron to the floor and also a super jackknife off the top turnbuckle.

[@DakinRinone]

I was in 3rd grade when this dropped. Man, time goes by so freaking fast.

[@alec2000]

This game truly is something special. Although I have little to no experience with WCW as I sadly never grew up with it, but only seen various clips of it, I have to say this game truly is, one of the best wrestling games ever made. The fact that the developers legit listened to the criticisms of World Tour and legit fixed every issue for Revenge truly reminds me of why I miss this era of gaming, when developers legit cared for the fans and had much more passion for games, unlike today where they focus way more on money, which sucks. The roster was absolutely stacked, the championship mode is fun, the AKI engine truly feels great here, and in general, the game definitely feels accessible to anyone, even if they never played games or even heard of WCW or wrestling in general. The game truly is what a video game should be, fun. Absolutely amazing re-review, homie, and I wish you great days ahead.😊❤️

[@SJB2000]

is it weird to prefer No Mercy's game engine and character models over 2k 17 ? it just looks more simple and game like

[@NikateeN]

shawn 242 I still prefer lots of old character models over current/next gen stuff. Sometimes I think I'm crazy or something for thinking that, but damn it some of that older stuff just looked good!

[@SJB2000]

NikateeN damn right

[@shaolinotter]

video game animation was really good during this time for some reason

[@pedrow3070]

@@shaolinotter reason being they cared then and dont anymore these days its a cash grab. Its the lets see how big a pile of crap we can make and see if theyll still buy it

[@fizzy292]

Man, I wish I grew up with this game. I would have loved it especially at the time. We were always a PlayStation house, so I grew up on SmackDown 2, which was awesome in its own right. I played this a few years later and its one of the greatest wrestling games every created. I'd personally place it above No Mercy. Great re-review man, keep up the great work!

[@huntermormo261]

fizzy292 I grew up with smackdown just bring it

[@NikateeN]

fizzy292 I was lucky enough to have Nintendo 64 and a PlayStation by 1997ish. I played both when it came to wrestling games, but there was just something that always kept me coming back to the AKI developed titles for the N64. Later on when the SmackDown series got to my favorite era (SYM, HCTP), I started to appreciate it a lot more than I did back in the PS1 days.

[@angelserrano9049]

Above No Mercy?? In what way? It’s incomplete compared to No mercy. No story, no match types and no original entrance music.

[@seejayfranklin]

@@angelserrano9049 it’s a much brighter looking game, more of a challenge when it comes to finishing off your opponent, a score system, and unique roster that represents a time in history with WCW. Also, I’ve heard somebody say they like it more due to the cruiserweights in this game. I own No Mercy and put it above this game, but still, can’t fault anyone for saying they like this one more.

[@angelserrano9049]

@@seejayfranklin I fault no one 😁 I was just curious to know in what way. WCW is unfinished compared to No Mercy (as a game) but if you’re looking for specific aspects like you just stated then it’s completely understandable. I personally love both equally and they both go hand in hand like a complete package for me. I personally look at revenge like an ultimate WCW expansion pack to NM even though it released first. I can’t even imagine having one without the other. They go perfect together.

[@atlien1988]

World Tour was good, but Revenge laid the foundation for the two greatest wrestling games of that generation in my opinion - WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy. The amount of hours I put into all these games as a kid was mind-blowing. Man, THQ/AKI were truly marvelous at their jobs.

[@Yungbeck]

Me and my brother always did the 40pc Battle Royale and battled it out to see what wrestler was the last one standing! Booker T and Psychosis was my jam.

[@bboystance1670]

MAN! I have this game still! One of the greatest wrestling games ever!

[@RobertIsMusic]

Long live WCW!........in the WWE network for only $9.99

[@NikateeN]

Robert DOES WRESTLING damn right! Best 10 bucks I spend all month!

[@cityboy7612]

You got that right man! I can relive anything and everything I ever missed for 10 bucks you cant beat it! Long Live The Monday Night War!!

[@MrFilmMakerNumber2]

And on this platform call KZbin for free!

[@MikeRey785]

When you could run into the ropes at the same area where an opponent was on the apron making them fly off into the guard rail made me laugh every time.

[@OptimusPrimeribs]

What I thought was even funnier was just leaning back into the opponent on the apron to make them fall. You just change your focus to another player while standing close to the ropes, press run and it makes you lean back to start your run.

[@jorgesalazar7595]

awesome video, i love your wrestling reviews man!

[@NikateeN]

TheGamingLizard thanks a lot!

[@jorgesalazar7595]

***** cant wait for wwe12, also hope aj wins at royal rumble and finn balor returns

When I was a kid, my neighbor had this for his N64. Made me want the system more than Goldeneye.

[@PontFlair]

8:45 R.I.P. Mark Curtis

[@StewartLucrative]

I used to play this game so much as a kid, it had so much replay value. Even my friends who weren't into wrestling at all loved this game.

[@HonkeyKong54]

This game ruled. The simplicity of finishers was very smart.

[@zackreynolds21]

This game was awesome. Best WCW game of all time.

[@DingisDonger]

Also this game had THE BEST soundtrack, Great review as always man

[@NikateeN]

Funky America you're right, the music is incredible!

[@angelserrano9049]

As in non original entrance music? 😂I love the sarcasm 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SlightlyMisunderstood]

Another AKI classic. Great game. Plays a little smoother than no mercy due to a slightly faster frame rate. But man… all AKI wrestling games stand the test of time. 20 plus years later I still play them.

[@NikateeN]

This game has without a doubt withstood the test of time!

[@Retro_Gamer_89]

N64 and PS2 games can be emulated on the Xbox Series X/S at 4K 60 😎

[@Haddley333]

Man we played this game endlessly in college so much fun

I spent so many hours playing this game. I loved it .

[@puffinman1138]

Good review! I bought this off of a kid in High School even though I had no knowledge of WCW at the time. (I was a die-hard WWF kid) I still love this game and WWF Wrestlemania 2000 and play them every once in a while.

[@metalmaniac345]

My fav game as a kid especially with multiple people

[@dr.loomis4221]

Love the intro to this game so much

[@DiabolikalRA]

It's truly disappointing that we never experienced the Nintendo 64 in my country. Missed out on a lot of cool titles like this. I'm excited about the 64 games coming to the Switch but unfortunately they won't be including any big license titles for obvious reasons.

[@2RG_]

I approve of you re-review all the wrestling games 🖒.

[@zackreynolds21]

RG- LMAO “me likey you review. Me Tarzan”?

[@matthewmicelli6674]

Still wish Ric had made the cut somehow. It's a grating roster omission that bothers me to this day.

[@albertthewisecrow]

Matthew Micelli well ric flair and eric bischoff were having issues and he got cut from the final version of the game.

[@drunkensailor112]

he and mostly ultimate warrior were very close to being added. what a roster that was!

[@shangtsung1362]

My dad still has his FREE RIC FLAIR t shirt. They were popular during Flairs (approx 6 month) suspension

[@louie5339]

put red trunks on fit finley. that's what I used to do lol

[@dougtube9870]

I miss this style of wrestling games. I just can’t get into FirePro and WWE 2k just don’t provide that wrestling feel.

[@Choom89]

Really excellent review, subscribed!

[@NikateeN]

Thanks!

[@hd_inmemoriam]

Can anybody confirm? I seem to remember that wrestlers' changed outfits were in fact changed in the intro as well. Am I right?

[@NikateeN]

HD_inmemoriam correct! This was even present in the WWF AKI games as well.

[@ModelJames13]

The first great wrestling game.

[@pushon10]

8:57 you can tell it's Nash's powerbomb because of how sloppy it is

[@OptimusPrimeribs]

It looks better than the real life version. I remember he often just dropped his opponents or barely slammed downwards, possibly in response to fear of injuring opponents and/or direction from management. Might have started after Giant was injured from one of his powerbombs.

[@robertklein4565]

Help unlocked for the Nintendo 64 how do you unlock graph raft mortise and wrath

[@pandoblier]

Best selling N64 Game. If you whip someone with DDP you can make the Diamond Cutter in a special Way.

[@fuckyourfeelings3360]

Wow. All this time and I never thought to spin the thumb stick counter clockwise and us A and B to use their finishers lol.

[@RawDawg903]

this game came out when I was in 5th grade, I got it for Christmas that year and the n64 that came with the extra purple atomic controller.... good times. used to love using Goldberg and just spearing people over and over and over until my special was full.

[@NikateeN]

RawDawg903 lol, the spear was addicting in this game!

[@theungreatkahli]

Me too. I used to play it with my cousins down south. Fun times.

[@kennethch9549]

I was doing the same spamming shit with Goldberg

[@nickchic2221]

sick intro! and a great review! I loved this game and really only played this while I was into wrestling.

[@pal-of-pals]

Probably one of my all time favourite N64 games in general really. Definitely in my top 3 in this regard.

[@bozillastream7900]

You missed the throw against the ropes Diamond Cutter

[@fupalover]

From outta no where!

[@scorpion9259]

Damn didn't knew of that super diamond cutter. Thanks for the tip 👍

[@shadowsimarchitect9679]

Were those the actual default Champions?

[@silveredgrunion7196]

Did you know that if you steal macho man's taunt using hulk hogan, you get a hidden voice clip of Hogan himself doing a mocking "oooh yeaah"

[@NikateeN]

I didn’t know that.

[@jameshawkeye8430]

I have this game on the n64 emulator on my chromebook and man this game brought back awesome memories because when I was younger, my friend and I would play this game for hours on end especially the battle royal mode.

[@SunsetAlgorithm]

No Screamin' Norman Smiley? No thank you. Good day to you sir- Lol, this game was so ahead of it's time, the controls were A+ imo

[@yeoedwin1619]

Deserve a remaster and re-release, depending on WWE initiative.

[@SikhTranslations]

I got my N64 in 2000 as a four year old and this was my first game. I was playing it over the last couple of days and it hasn't aged in my opinion. I can still play it for hours

[@paladintrueknight]

Best look: La Parka. Best taunt: La Parka.

[@letsgets77]

I can still hear the menu music in my mind.

[@NikateeN]

Me too!

[@4packdaddy]

The lighting in this game is much better than World Tour.

[@fupalover]

This game was ahead of its time.

[@bigflexru]

Great game, I’m mad they didn’t include the thunder arena, and it was there from the beginning of the year😹😹😹… but with multiple missing aspects deep gameplay makes me forget

[@DarkWorldQ8]

I remember that after playing this game is when I really got into wrestling games. I do think that the Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy are better games, but this one has a more special place in my heart. I definitely thought it was cool how Sting would descend from the sky, and I do remember choosing DDP just to look at the girl LOL.

[@floodychild]

You really go into the details of what made this game great. That's something I appreciate. Enjoy your videos.

[@NikateeN]

floodychild thanks a lot!

[@MiguelPerez-cn4ee]

I got WCW vs nWo World Tour in October 1999 then I got WWF WrestleMania 2000 for Christmas in 1999 and then WWF No Mercy for Christmas in 2000. I still got Revenge with my birthday $ in July 2003. I like this game but prefer WWF cuz I grew up watching SmackDown!. I'm glad to still have my this game and the rest of my N64 game collection.

[@Morpheus776]

are the controls the same in wrestlemania 2000? because i have a hard time doing the finishers

[@NikateeN]

The same.

[@CyanideSublime]

Gonna give No Mercy a re-review?

[@Eternal5ent]

EXEJON he should!

[@NikateeN]

EXEJON yes!

[@razieltalos]

when?

[@AshesHereos]

NikateeN _How come the Thursday Thunder arena wasn't included in Revenge?_

[@jaysonrodriguez7128]

WCW Revenge y WrestleMania 2000 son los 2 mejores juegos de lucha que jamas haya jugado.

[@THEREV468]

This was the first proper game I ever owned. The first wresting game I had was attitude but that game was far from great. I think I was 9 when I got this game in 2004 and I loved it so much. While my friends had here comes the pain and the first svr game I had this. It wasn't until late 2006 that I got a ps2 and started playing the same games my friends had lol

[@kennethch9549]

Attitude was trash

[@zodiacknightgamechannel]

So many classic memories

[@sourdee8034]

THESE WERE THE BEST WRESTLING GAMES EVER!!!! The game play was challenging and fun , customization etc

[@JeffzBeard]

If this game had the theme songs.. it would have been the perfect wcw game

[@TheBatman602]

One of my favorite finishers was DDP's pop-up Diamond Cutter from a running opponent.

[@brandonsofola9411]

Great review!

[@home1261]

Had this game as a kid and only until now I did not realize flair wasn't in the game.

[@pushon10]

I made Raven the world heavweight champion in this game. I was so disappointed upon watching 1998 wcw to find that they didn't put him in the main event picture at all. Fuck Bischoff

[@dilloncompton6102]

Halloween Havoc was my fav arena

[@4packdaddy]

The only thing that still baffles me is the cheddar cheese 🧀 turnbuckle pads for every arena!! I don’t get it. Could they not render them different colors?

[@oxykilldone5113]

I wonder if Sick Boy got his name from Trainspotting.

[@Jpfire19]

Game retailed for $59.99, but Nitro always sold it for $69.99 plus $4.95 shipping and handling. I never understood why it was so much more. They did the same with PlayStation wrestling games. They were $49.99 at the store, but $59.99 on Nitro.

[@4packdaddy]

I can’t believe Thunder is not in this game!!!

[@DemonChildCC]

This was actually virtual pro wrestling 2.. same with world tour and wcw vs the world.. all were titled virtual pro wrestling and came out a virtual pro wrestling first then re-released as wcw games..

[@DjGaza18]

you're knowledge with wrestling games is great man, knowing whos missing from a roster, and trivia about legal troubles, and development times, this was the first n64 aki title i ever played, and i loved it, the starcade theme takes me back forsure, but i experienced WcW with the games, because unfortunately i grew up hard on wwf, but great review man, it seems you're running out of wrestling games to review, you've done a very good amount of them.

[@NikateeN]

eric gaza thanks! Yea, the Starrcade theme is by far my favorite in this entire game.

[@DjGaza18]

NikateeN I'm very suprised you haven't done wwe13 yet

[@adamconrod5199]

I Had that game and I Loved it. But that Game the Wrestlers reminded me on "Transformers" because of the shape and look of the WCW/nWo Wrestlers in the Game.

[@Sluggen7n7]

Greatest WCW game by far. Depending on opinion, Top 5 or minimum top 10 of all time wrestling games still 20 plus years or 4 console generations later.

[@scooter_b123]

I hooked up a hdmi converter to my n64 and started playing this on my flatscreen after watching this video. This game is still freaking awesome!
