I catch myself whistling it all the time - and honestly for a good 15 years or so I couldn't remember where I heard the tune then saw this video about a year ago and wham.
I honestly thought that for old-school, simple graphics, the arena, crowds---plus all the wrestlers---came out looking pretty cool. Kind of eye-popping for that time in my humble opinion.
Totally, the graphics are great! It's a shame the count outside the ring is way too fast, it would have been amazing to be able to fight all around the ring in that large area.
The game is a jip because the winner doesn't received a belt, at least the 1st game gave you the 86 Hogan belt. Also the ring apron should have had a wrestlemania skirt like the last game did.
@@ThunderFist1978 I knew that those wrestlers have passed away for a long time ago. The only thing that I felt SAD is MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE. 😭😭😭 That's the only wrestler I CARED about. Especially HULK HOGAN, but he's still ALIVE. 😊😊 I only CARED about those 2 wrestlers ONLY. (Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage) But still feel SAD for Randy Savage so much. 😭😭😭😭
Kacie Remata Hulk Hogan is the only wrestler on the front of box/label who is still living. Sadder yet, nobody on the box other than Hogan even lived to age 60, and two of them didn’t even live to see 50.
instead of Tecmo World Wrestling we could of gotten Tecmo WWF World Wrestling, you can only imagine if WWF had of gotten Tecmo instead of acclaim and LJN to make their wrestling games, WWF could of had top selling wrestling games for NES with the same type of graphics as Tecmo World Wrestling, it would of been sick.
@@beyoncebillings6625 Personally I can't decide which one is the ultimate NES wrestling game, Tecmo or WCW. Been like that since my childhood lol. But you're right, WCW might be better since it features a roster of real life wrestlers and plenty of cool ideas (deciding which moves your wrestler will perform, tag matches, weapon outside the ring, nice camera angle when you go on the top rope). Fantastic game.
@@beyoncebillings6625 Yeah, gotta agree! Particularly with the A+ roster: Sting, Flair, Luger, Warriors, Steamboat, Dr Death, Varsity Club, Hot Stuff, Michael Hayes....one heck of a fun roster.
I was always the Ultimate Warrior when I played this as a kid back in 1990. My cousin and I were RELIGIOUS WWF fans back then. He was always Randy Savage.
Best wrestling game on the nes. Had so much fun playing this as a kid and still enjoy it now. First wrestling game to have finishers. Music was spot on. Absolutely love this
"Until recently, neither he nor the WWF/WCW (titan Sports) owned the full rights to his "Hulk" name. "Hulkamania," "Hulk Hogan," and "Hulkster" were all owned by Marvel Comics. The WWF/WWE made a deal with Marvel to use the name "Hulk." This was also done with WCW when Hogan went to WCW. WCW used "Hollywood Hogan" to cancel the Marvel deal, but the deal was still alive. However, before the 2006 release of his multidisk anthology, Hogan acquired the rights to the name Hulk Hogan from Marvel."
I got this for my birthday in November 1992. I was still a new wrestling fan (beginning spring 92 in the build-up to WrestleMania 8), and I had no idea it existed until I saw it in Toys R Us. My dad asked if I was sure this was the one I wanted. Of course I was sure; it had the Ultimate Warrior on the cover! It's no Fire Pro, it's no Zen-Nippon, it's no "Pro Wrestling", but it's playable, and the visuals and audio do a great job of immersing us into the world of the WWF in 1990--and for some of us, that alone is worth the price of admission.
I use to love playing this game as a kid, Although we didnt have the manual and my brother would always play as Ultimate warrior and throw me the fuck out of the ring as he was the only character who could do that, he would end up winning becuase i didnt know what button to press to get back in the ring.
How sad to look at the label/box art and realize that everyone pictured is dead except for Hulk Hogan. Sadder still, all the wrestlers in this game who have died so far died before the age of 60, and two didn’t even make it to 50.

I am the Ultimate Warrior, you are the Ultimate Warrior fans and the spirit of The Ultimate Warrior will run...

WWE recently created the Warrior Award, an award given to a certain individual with an inspiring story, and that award is given at the annual WWE Hall of Fame every year!
This game had great atmosphere when it comes to the music and different finishers for the wrestlers and the Gameboy version was even better seemed to be based on the same gameplay WWF Superstars
Always remember playing this the first time with my cousin on a trip to the states and he exclaimed loud enough for our folks to here.. "Andre the Giant just got buttf&*&ed"... Why is Rick Rude's music still the best theme ever for a wrestler?
Oh now THIS brings back memories. Was it great? No, not really? Was it fun? Yeah, it was. It certainly didn't hurt that the music was (to me) memorable. It was at least more fun and playable than Shaq Fu at least. Then again, lots of games play better than it.
Hulk Hogan also looks like an old Great Panther from NES Pro Wrestling here. Pro Wrestling and WCW were the best wrestling games although that bar system in WCW was a pain.
This game had a terrible control scheme and it was frustrating to chase around the opponents when they werent the aggressive come at you types. However the music made it enjoyable. I always picked Yourself, Rick Rude and Macho Man in this game. This game was also my way of getting my Ultimate Warrior music fix before you could download a song on the webz. Lol
LMAO. this was the bizarre to read. id pick warrior just to listen to the music (plus the fact that he was a badass). BUt this was def how i got my warrior theme song fix. amazing.
The ai was annoying as to how the opponents refused to fight but rather wanted to walk around. Could never figure out how to get back in the ring without going to the top rope
Yup I would agree, until the first Smackdown game on PS1 that is. But even then, that franchise ended on Smackdown: Here comes the pain (WHICH I very recommend because it's the best wrestling game ever I played) on PS2
I used to love playing tag team in this game and I always went out of the ring to beat up the other guy and they would never defend themselves lol it was a cool game for the time, but there was a lack of moves and you couldn't run into the ropes
That is my question. Sometimes if I mash buttons near the rope my player will jump out but I never know how I did it. Manual says wall against the ropes and hit a and b at the same time. All it does is do your jumping attack
34 years later and I still cannot understand why they chose to have the boring generic character Yourself/Player 1 rather than have a proper playable character, say like Little Mac, maybe allow you to enter a name or at the very least have a palette swap of interesting colours. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?
ladies & gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for 1 fall! on the way to the ring, he's the current RUclips OldSchool Videogame Wrestling Champion of the World= J.A.G.! and the opponent, coming from the land of subpar graphics, wonky, almost unresponsive control and bland & repetitive gameplay=L.J.N.! that's today's way for me to say cool gameplay, LOL! (hope it doesn't get me blocked...I was just trying to be original for once...)

God I loved that intro music at the challenge selection screen as a kid
I catch myself whistling it all the time - and honestly for a good 15 years or so I couldn't remember where I heard the tune then saw this video about a year ago and wham.
Its literally an altered version of the song thriller. The part where mj turns into a zombie.
Hell yeah! That music would get me so pumped!
This game sucks WCW was the best wrestling game on NES
Why Player 1 is not in WWE Hall of Fame? He defeated all these guys with such ease.
Also co-holder of the Tag Team title with the other Yourself
Maybe he did a Benoit on his family. 😶
He looks like Bob Backlund
@@jonathanturbide2232 you are evil 🤣
when i got my wwe 2 k i designed my player 1 character🤣 i even named him player 1with red trunks and boots
Love this game! The amount of hours lost to this as a kid... i'd take none of it back. The music, the action! Brilliant!
Wow. This guy beating it in 12 mins made me think that there's not much to it. But guess I was wrong.
I honestly thought that for old-school, simple graphics, the arena, crowds---plus all the wrestlers---came out looking pretty cool. Kind of eye-popping for that time in my humble opinion.
really? i was just thinking how trash this looks for a game made in 1990... the previous years wrestlemania game looks 100 times better
The music was much better done for sure in this game. Probably the best out of all the NES WWF games.
Totally, the graphics are great! It's a shame the count outside the ring is way too fast, it would have been amazing to be able to fight all around the ring in that large area.

REST IN PEACE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!
And Big Boss Man, Rick Rude, Randy Savage, and Andre the Giant.

😢😢😢😢😢😢
I still remember purchasing this game during the Christmas holiday while in elementary! MANNNN it was so much fun to play this! Great game!!!!
I was always impressed with the 8bit renditions of each wrestlers theme tune when playing this
The Andre theme they invented touches your soul. A midi classic.
Ultimate Warrior was one of the few characters that could toss you out of the ring.
He’s the only one who can do that in this game.
That has to be the most serious WWF crowd I've ever seen!
Yourself is basically every wwe superstar today
Real shame WWF and Tecmo never worked together.
instead of Tecmo World Wrestling we could of gotten Tecmo WWF World Wrestling, you can only imagine if WWF had of gotten Tecmo instead of acclaim and LJN to make their wrestling games, WWF could of had top selling wrestling games for NES with the same type of graphics as Tecmo World Wrestling, it would of been sick.

Ultimate Warrior, gone but never forgotten ever.
I was always the Ultimate Warrior when I played this as a kid back in 1990. My cousin and I were RELIGIOUS WWF fans back then. He was always Randy Savage.
The "yourself" wrestler looked a lot like Bob Backlund!!!!!
Best wrestling game on the nes. Had so much fun playing this as a kid and still enjoy it now. First wrestling game to have finishers. Music was spot on. Absolutely love this
Gotta love 'Yourself' and the ability to manhandle Andre the Giant.
Seeing someone body slam him always made me laugh.
~JagOfTroy
I immediately recognized Beefcake's music.
Yeah I thought the same. Its funny how the drums in the real version sound very close to the NES version.
"Until recently, neither he nor the WWF/WCW (titan Sports) owned the full rights to his "Hulk" name. "Hulkamania," "Hulk Hogan," and "Hulkster" were all owned by Marvel Comics.

I think Hogan since his name is Hulk should have worn green trunks and boots instead of yellow.
I loved the way LJN/Rare games' music sounded. I know the games were generally trash but they had great music.
I thought they weren't bad. For it's time
The 4-player capitability via the N.E.S. Satellite or the Four Score would have made this game even more enjoyable.
I love it how the crowd looks like the playable characters in Nightmare on Elm Street.
Probably because Acclaim owned LJN, the company responsible for the Elm Street Game.
because both games were made by Rare

Sorry to break this to you but wrestling is fake
Even though the graphics were really horrible cuz it was 1987 when this came out but the thing is this game is way better than most wrestling games
Health bar on the ring. Creative touch. That's awesome. Innovative especially for its time
This game had great atmosphere when it comes to the music and different finishers for the wrestlers and the Gameboy version was even better seemed to be based on the same gameplay
WWF Superstars
4:05 If you ever take a trip down to Cobb County Georgia, you better read the signs respect the law and order. You'll serve hard times!!!
The memories and that music. Awesome.
This was no lie the one and only gift my aunt ever gave me, my sis got little mermaid nes... still have it. Classic.
that rick rude theme is syill awesome i always played him as a kid
I loved Randy Savage's Theme. Plus, his music is GRADUATION SONG.
Love how Hulkster was running away like he's off his meds...then just get body slammed an pinned 🤣
Does anyone find it at least mildly disturbing that the majority of wrestlers on this game are dead?
Yeah, I noticed that. I felt that way when I looked at my old WWF Hasbro figures from that time.
***** Yes, maybe LJN took them all out! It's a conspiracy! This game was there list, just like in the final destination movies!
yootubevids Hhmmm....maybe!
That degree of crazy deserves to be immortalized.
Some day in the future, someone's going to say the same about the wrestlers in Wrestlemania 2K17
Andre the giant running is how I run to the bathroom after eating too much Taco Bell
had this when I was 3, still love it
Always remember playing this the first time with my cousin on a trip to the states and he exclaimed loud enough for our folks to here.. "Andre the Giant just got buttf&*&ed"... Why is Rick Rude's music still the best theme ever for a wrestler?
Your opponent not fighting and walking around was a tad frustrating. Playing yourself vs yourself with my friends was the best
i know i'm not the only one getting battletoads and double dragon vibes from sounds and music from this game
My favorite game on the nes when I was a kid. I always played as Rick rude and dominated lol
My earliest video game memory. Thank you.
Easily the best NES WWF game, with the best soundtrack ... Even the music after wins, losses , in between matches ... Classic
Andre's music was made up, right? He never had music...
The music when you win sounds like ‘Cool For Cats’
I remember renting this for my bday in 1990 and beating it,classic
my favorite child hood game
My friend and I played this game and Double Dribble for HOOOOOURS on end!!!!
Oh now THIS brings back memories. Was it great? No, not really? Was it fun? Yeah, it was. It certainly didn't hurt that the music was (to me) memorable. It was at least more fun and playable than Shaq Fu at least. Then again, lots of games play better than it.
Well, Dave Wise did compose the soundtrack for this game, after all.
That explains why the music is so good and memorable. Also, I wish Rare would have made some more wrestling games, since they developed this one.
The ring ropes look like lasers which would slice the limbs off of anyone unfortunate enough to touch them. ;*(
Only redeeming quality about this game (outside of the soundtrack) was that Ultimate Warrior was in it. And that you could do Hacksaw's finisher move.
I remember playing this when I was 9-10yrs old. :)
I had the same haircut as “yourself” and for years I thought wwf knew who I was. 😂
Hulk Hogan also looks like an old Great Panther from NES Pro Wrestling here. Pro Wrestling and WCW were the best wrestling games although that bar system in WCW was a pain.
I remember playing this at my old mates house on his birthday.
Man back in the day this was like ps5 graphics for us lol

Bought this game was surely addicted to this video game ❤
Музыка классная в игре!
Haha, nah. No reason to block ya. We always appreciate feedback.
~JagOfTroy
If you are the Andrey Giant? How can you go back to the ring if ultimate warrior throw you out side?
OMG this Game was my bread and Butter as a Kid.
yeah, I remember this game. I spent a lot of hours playing it!
That explaines the awesomeness of soundtrack ;]
0:06 The music sounded depressed at the Ultimate Warrior being champion, rather than Hogan. :(
I remember playing this back in the day I got this as a Birthday present for my 9th birthday. 31 years ago I am now 40.
11 Years Old Great Memories Play This Game For Hours
I used to love playing tag team in this game and I always went out of the ring to beat up the other guy and they would never defend themselves lol it was a cool game for the time, but there was a lack of moves and you couldn't run into the ropes
My gosh...how far we've come in vidja games
I love WWF On NES , SNES, PSX, PS2, Gameboy Advance, and PS3
They made Jim Duggan a champ!
~JagOfTroy
Still my Favourite NES Wrestling game
I'd like to see an update of this game with more game modes and an expanded roster and 4score compatibility
ANDRE THE GIANT, IS MY BIGGEST CLIENT
The Soundtrack is really awesome for LJN or not even LJN. The feels...
i never realized that the in ring theme is the same like in wwf superstars for the 1st game boy.
That didn't sound like hacksaw's theme at all
Nor Andre's, but I don't think he ever had a theme song...
Shit this brings back memories
Such a good game
A good LGN game ^^
Andre The Giant couldn’t back in the ring if I remember correctly.. loved this game
Oh man, those moments you accidentally jumped out of the ring and didn't know how to get back in...
2:13 how to go outside of the ring? all i know is climb on turnbuckle and go outside.
That is my question. Sometimes if I mash buttons near the rope my player will jump out but I never know how I did it. Manual says wall against the ropes and hit a and b at the same time. All it does is do your jumping attack

Hell yes.
Unfortunately, the WWF games that came after this for the NES were not as memorable. xD
