I just want to get this one over with. WCW Backstage Assault is the final WCW video game. The developer made the bizarre decision to have a wrestling game without a wrestling ring. This feels like Vince Russo was part of the creative meetings behind the game. Every match is a hardcore match that takesContinue reading “WCW Backstage Assault on the N64 is Pretty Bad”

WWF Warzone on the N64 is a Great Arcade Wrestling game
It feels like I’m the only person who likes or has fond memories of WWF Warzone. All of my memories are of the PS1 version, so I’m looking forward to playing the N64 version for the first time. I know what I’m getting into with this one. This game is a bridge between arcade wrestlingContinue reading “WWF Warzone on the N64 is a Great Arcade Wrestling game”
WCW Nitro on the N64 is Terrible
I didn’t like the PS1 version of WCW Nitro, so I’m not expecting much from the N64 version. This is the first wrestling game for the N64 that I’ll be looking at. It might be a little strange to start with this game, but that is what I want to do. The same development teamContinue reading “WCW Nitro on the N64 is Terrible”
ECW Anarchy Rulz, Better than Hardcore Revolution
I thought the first ECW game was a little disappointing. It didn’t feel like an ECW game because it was just a re-skin of WWF Attitude. The second ECW game, Anarchy Rulz, uses the same engine as WWF Attitude but was modified to be closer to an ECW game. This was made in the weirdContinue reading “ECW Anarchy Rulz, Better than Hardcore Revolution”
WWF War Zone is a Great Retro Arcade Game
I get WWF War Zone confused with Attitude. I remember renting one of them, but I might have rented both. They’re similar games with the same strengths and weaknesses. Both games were just placeholders for the Smackdown games. They were good at the time, but playing them now can be annoying. They’re both playable, butContinue reading “WWF War Zone is a Great Retro Arcade Game”
A Terrible Game | The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1
As a property, the Simpsons doesn’t have a good track record for video games. Developers didn’t seem to know how to translate the cartoon into a video game. The only game I can remember as good was the arcade game. The Simpsons Wrestling wasn’t a bad idea. The series has a ton of characters, andContinue reading “A Terrible Game | The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1”
Power Move Pro Wrestling a Spectacular Hidden Gem on the PS1/PSX
There is something to be said about discovering a game you missed. It can either turn out great, or you can see why this game passed you by. Power Move Pro Wrestling is one of the games that I wish I had played back in 1995 or 1996. It is one of the best wrestlingContinue reading “Power Move Pro Wrestling a Spectacular Hidden Gem on the PS1/PSX”
WWF WrestleMania on the PS1 is Disappointingly Average
This is fine. It isn’t all that special, and it isn’t something I would want to revisit. It is a good-looking port of the arcade game, but there are better wrestling games on the Play Station 1. This version of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game is closer to the Sega Genesis version. It has theContinue reading “WWF WrestleMania on the PS1 is Disappointingly Average”
WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had aContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis”
The Sega Version of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Looks Great
This is the second version of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game I’ve played. It has several advantages over the SNES version, but I have the same problems with it as I did with that game. Playing arcade games now can be a little rough, especially when there wasn’t anything added to the console port. IfContinue reading “The Sega Version of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Looks Great”
