WWF Royal Rumble on Sega Dreamcast

[@LJF_JR]

I remember playing this game in the lobby of what was WWF New York in Times Square. They had a bunch of them on Arcade Machines. Going to that place to watch Raw as a kid was such an incredible treat,

It was a great console but the marketing failed to place it properly. I can’t recall a single TV commercial while PlayStation had numerous.

[@csciacchitano]

Definitely remember trying to convince myself this was a good game when it came out, mainly because of the graphics 😂

[@paulearl8203]

@Carl Sciacchitano same ha. But I always ending up sticking No Mercy on the N64 instead.

[@HakeemTheDream616]

Lol exactly 😂

[@Rafman316]

The Dreamcast really was like having an arcade in your home.

[@VOAN]

True, the problem is by 1999 arcade were dying thus Dreamcast being an arcade in the home is not really all that exciting anymore. At that time, people wanted huge games that last while at home, not short games just to kill time.

[@angrymobsters1599]

@@VOAN That's one of the problems with this console from the get go. The majority of it's solid game lineup are arcade ports. Their arcade lineup overshadowed their original titles.

[@markg5480]

@@VOAN Exactly. At the end of the 90's / early 2000's, the arcade was filled with polygon games and novelty gimmicky dance games / light gun games. Everyone wanted the arcade at home during 1991 - 1993, but by the time the Dreamcast arrived and could finally offer us a "true arcade experience", the arcade thrill had been long dead.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Holy cow Sega Dreamcast brings back a lot of memories, I really liked the Royal Rumble game, I thought it was very good and underrated, it was kind of like an extension of the first two Smackdown games but with slightly better graphics. It was so much fun playing this with my best friend (RIP)

[@SaibotKing2000]

I still like how this was Tazz, Rikishi, and Angle's debut game while also being the only time at that period to be on the same roster as Ministry Undertaker

[@Frieth]

We played this game a few years ago on the Dreamcast at a weeklong party filled with alcohol and shenanigans. We were already a little gone when we loaded it up, and our first match was Jericho vs Rock... halfway through the match, out runs Kane with an empty shopping cart. We stop and look at him. He pushes it around outside the ring for a bit like a racecar and then runs away to the back. We laughed way more than we should have at this and it's become a bit of a meme with our crew. Rikishi also did a run in solely to dance in the middle of the ring and then just left.

[@tyrone5969]

That’s an accurate depiction of The Attitude Era though!

[@GeekExtremist]

I loved playing as Jeff Hardy and just jumping off the top turnbuckle to see how many people I could hit. Really loved this game, just wish it actually had 30 people in the roster lol

[@WaterInmyHands]

I saw this arcade once in Tenerife, Spain while on Holiday. I remembering getting excited since I've never seen an arcade WWE game and thinking of how cool it was the Shane McMchaon was in it. I played the superstars mode and got to Vince, thought he was going to be a cakewalk only to get completely destroyed lol embarrassed

[@Fatwreckman]

Was it at the hotel where the arcade was under the pool and you could actually see in the pool through the big glass windows? Crazy Taxi and some weird Ambulance simulation game were the other games?

[@TG5455]

I had some good memories with the Dreamcast by playing games like Crazy Taxi, The House of the Dead 2, Sonic Adventure, NFL 2K, and of course Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble match in the game is at the time the complete Rumble match experience until 2K made the improvements to the Rumble match in their games.

[@jordancarson]

I have a lot of fond memories of the Dreamcast. The graphics really good for the time.

[@RFNOFFICIAL]

Despite its shortcomings I love this game and have tons of great memories from playing it with friends at sleepovers to pumping $50 into the arcade machine in Hampton Beach in a giant arcade center. I just loved how back in the day we had so many choices and styles of wrestling games now we just got 1.

[@TheDON914]

Sad indeed

[@sodokami6347]

Hopefully that’s gonna change with all these wrestling games being developed by different companies

[@brok4life2121]

I remember playing this at Peter Piper Pizza quite often... PPP is a relatively local chain, however for a time they had a large selection of arcade games and I remember when this one came out they had the "new" sticker on it... Given the graphics and it being a wrestling game it was awesome to see this at the time.... From what I recall it was always packed I am certain they got way more out of it then maybe they expected in terms of money pumped into each cabinet...

[@0execute]

We had Peter Pipers in Nevada, but they lost the market to the cheese mouse.

[@TalesOfBrandino]

Oh snap I remember this game! I remember the lack of modes being a big turnoff for me though when I was a kid. I did NOT know it was a port of an arcade game and it's actually quite impressive in that regard. Actually, that's something I feel that's quite overlooked when it came to dreamcast games their arcade ports were amazing. Outside of Soul Calibur there's not a lot of talk about just how fast their games were ported from arcade to console. And yes, it's really cool that you touched up on that! :)

[@DoobieKeebler]

I had no idea, either, but I still liked it.

[@HsgMat]

Found a cabinet of this at Knott’s Berry Farms Soak City. Thought it was so sick. Went and bought it for the Dreamcast shortly after

[@alejandroramirez4470]

Sheesh, never would've known soak city had an arcade. The main park only has 1 now after fiesta village was remodeled, where there was a small one. No carnival games in fiesta village anymore either come to think of it.

[@CDages]

Glad you touched on the game being an arcade release and its NAOMI Roots. I personally enjoy the game very much and find it to be a guilty pleasure. I used to play and watch people play it at my local arcade center when I younger so getting it on my Dreamcast was a no brainer. It's interesting piece of WWF history as its essential the last WWF/E arcade release.

I remember playing this in the arcade. It ws basically smackdown 3. Minus all the extra matches.

I remember I had the high score on the arcade machine at a mini golf arcade. I demolished the previous score and only stopped because I had to go home.

[@jayjayrocket]

I've only played this on arcade. I saw it in Majorca and graphically it looked amazing. Especially going from 4 wrestlers on screen to 9. If only the dreamcast version was a combination of this and smackdown 2.

Its great to hear your evolution aa a Creator. I often watch your older videos while i wait for new videos and i have to say you are bringing so much more energy and confidence in the newer videos. That is not a knock on your old style but you went from Morgan Freeman to Samuel L. Jackson in your style and i love it.

[@Larry]

Yay, my obligatory mention in a wrestling bios game video 😋 Doesnt this game still hold the record for most wrestlers on screen in a WWF/E game?

[@kidice187]

I had the dreamcast and played the arcade version. It was a lot of fun as a kid I was like 4-6or 7 when I played it and at that age and even now it was so much fun to play with friends. Solo it could get boring but when you had a friend it's one of those games where as long as the content was fun it didn't need to be robust. Plus i also had attitude and smackdown 1/2 so i never felt it was lacking. The alternate attires were also dope! I loved the hardys alts the most. Blue shirt jeff was a beast

[@TheScaryOne845]

I used to go to Foxwoods Casino when I was a kid. My family, those old enough at least, would go gamble, so me and my cousins would go to their arcade. One time we went they did have this game available. The cabinet, I believe it's called, was bigger than the one shown in this video. It was pretty popular too, as it was during the height of the Attitude Era. The next time we went, which was probably just months later, it was gone. I had fun with it at the time, but you're right, once you've exhausted everything it had, it got boring pretty quick.

[@Dare1C]

The appeal of this game in its day was the amount of character you could have in the ring and fighting at once. The Royal Rumble mode was cool and Dreamcast had better graphics than PS1 and N64. So for a spell, it was kinda cool; esp if you were a Dreamcast owner and had no other WWF game. But it came and went fast and for obvious reason. The arcade version was def the best for a quick play with friends and thats it.
