@@J-Wall I totally agree with you, I was never able to finish the story mode, furthest I got was chapter 4 when hhh exposed some kind of interference... I liked all aki engine wrestling games on the n64 both wcw and both WWF games, I just used to love watching the ppv on TV and then recreating it in game... I still don't know how they did not test the save feature of the game before they released it, I remember being upset at the game about not being able to save. Apparently later copies of the game had the issue fixed, but by then I was waiting for the release of the ps2 and GameCube.

This was the first game to ever have titantron "videos" playing during entrances. I remember being completely blown away seeing a single screenshot in the previews section of EGM magazine, just one photo of Austin walking down the ramp with his video on the titantron. I couldn't believe it. Just that one screenshot made me immediately want to get an N64, I was already bored of Warzone and Attitude on my PS1.

Yeah the entrances still to this day look fantastic i think, especially compared to the two smackdown games on PS1 and ofcourse Warzone and Attitude.

World Tour, Revenge, 2000 and No Mercy. All the best games. I wish they'd stuck with these similar formulas or close to it at least.

[@the16bitprick36]

One of those if its not broke dont fix it type deals, dont know what happened

[@younglove3362]

@The16BitPrick They can fix it. They could have even enhanced it. Maybe there was something hindering them with this. Just like "Young Justice" being canceled because the targeted audience wasn't interested despite the reviews being extremely high by other audiences but the toy sales are what caused them to put the lower rated infinite "teen titans" on despite their ratings being lower.

[@entertainmentforall6609]

Yup. No Mercy took this game and made things even better. Graphics, sound, rosters, story mode, all excellent. Still have my original cart. Only thing bad I can say about the game is there was a defect with some of the first run cartridges and they lost your save data from your story mode sporadically. They offered a replacement cart for free. I never sent mine in. Oh well, I played through it once before I started having issues. I usually played with friends anyway.

[@the16bitprick36]

100% agree. Also don't worry I'll be covering that in the next one, so much to talk about when it comes to no mercy

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

so did you keep the defective cart? It's worth a lot of money apparently. I traded mine in a few weeks after release as back then there was no Internet so I had no idea it was a widespread save fault and that I could claim a replacement cart. Game hardly came clean about it when buying it back off me for half the price.

[@stevesteve0521]

It also lacked full entrances which I couldn’t blame them with all the content that was in the cart. As stupid as it sounds I was also upset that the big show wasn’t in the game I was a big fan of him at the time and for him to not be there was pretty disappointing to me personally (Andre the giant was in the game so that kind of made up for it). Even having the whole wrestlemania 2000 storyline and having Stevie richards replace big show in the storyline was pretty weird to me as well. Regardless no mercy is just a better wrestlemania 2000 which that game itself is fantastic

[@entertainmentforall6609]

@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Yup. I still have my original cart!!

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

@@stevesteve0521 yeah I was annoyed about big shows omission too and having Stevie Richards replace him in the angle was weird, surely a bigger name would have been more appropriate. Big show was still an employee too, so they surely could have left him in the game as he was already programmed in. I think he'd been sidelined by wwf at the time for being too fat, when they sent him to their development franchise, ohio wrestling or whatever it was called.

Just bought me an N64 recently, and the bundle I bought came with all 4 AKI wrestling titles (and WCW Nitro, but I already had that on PS1 and it's terrible). Been having a blast replaying them again, already beat World Tour, and I'm just shuffling the other three around....which is funny because thats the same thing I did as a kid, I just kept Revenge, WM2000 and No Mercy on a constantly rotation for whatever I felt like playing.

Fantastic review man, much like you back whenever I 1st played this game in 2005 at age 10 I didn’t like it because I was spoiled by games like SYM, HCTP, SvR, & Both Day of Reckonings. It wasn’t until years later in 2011 whenever I played this again and found new appreciation for it and it went on to become my favorite wrestling game on the N64 (yes even above No Mercy). I love No Mercy don’t get me wrong but I have way more fun with WM00 & Revenge. I own all 4 AKI wrestling games as I bought an N64 and the games back in 2020 when the pandemic began.

[@younglove3362]

Making the difference characters with details and calculated move sets really enhanced the game and expanded the imagination of storyline with way more characters when done right. That was one of the best part of the game's. Creating tag teams or tough individual players.

[@RetroVisionist]

_"I thought up to that point I had my fun with Nintendo 64..."_ Ooh! Too bad! 2000/2001 was arguably the best era for the N64 in it's entire lifespan... Banjo-Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, Majora's Mask, Mario Party 2, Mario Tennis, Perfect Dark, Pokémon Stadium 2, Resident Evil 2, Ridge Racer 64, San Francisco Rush: 2049, Sin & Punishment, Spider-Man, The World Is Not Enough, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2, Turok 3, Virtua Pro Wrestling 2, and WWF No Mercy. Granted, some of these are overseas imports and ports from other systems. I do remember having a lot of fun with my N64 at this time. It definitely held it's own until the GameCube was released.
