  • In the early 2000s, you couldn't walk 2 feet without bumping into a new WWE video game. With the SmackDown! series running on the PlayStation, RAW holding things down on the Xbox, and WrestleMania keeping the GameCube side of things covered, everyone had a little something of their own. This installment of Triangle X Squared O: The Wrestling Games Retrospective Series is going to zoom in on the latter, DanDans. The Nintendo GameCube may not have set the world on fire in the sales department, but I'll be damned if that little guy didn't play host to some fantastic games in its time. 2003's WWE WrestleMania XIX picks up where it's predecessor left off, improving in every way, and solidifying the GameCube as a great place to be for wrestling fans.

Revenge Mode is so fun and unique (when it isn't frustrating) and i remember as a kid, I didn't know how to do regular matches in a ring, I thought they weren't in the game. because i didn't know what "Exhibition" meant, it thought it was some boring museum mode or something, so i never clicked it in like three years, but it was still one of my favourite games to play even without that.

It goes beyond just a bland one note review, and makes it so much more personal. I can relate so much to a lot of your stories, especially with those early WWE games. On another note, the revenge mode, man I wish they had stuff like that today. Yeah it's fucking insane, and someone was smoking some good shit for sure HAHAH, but it was unique and interesting. I never got to experience the Gamecube WWE games, I was a playstation boy all the way. Maybe I should try and make that happen.

    This is the one I’ve been waiting for. I never played X8 that I can recall, but 19 was one I bought and I was beyond confused at the Revenge mode haha. I ran with it though, made it totally my own. I created Bane in the CAW, and had him be my revenge mode guy, since it’d make sense that a DC villain would go around murdering general contractors. The gameplay was fun, even though it made no sense.
    Seeing Scott Steiner miss that chain and get hit by a car had me laughing. I forgot about that ridiculous element of these games.
    It’s been a long time, I don’t really remember the game looking as good as it did. I don’t have a GameCube anymore or else I’d probably try to get this one again. Great video, man!

    Kudos for the WM X8 prologue to this video. It was a charming game, and always gets positive marks from me for the championship options and for being one of the very few games to include one of my all-time favorites, Raven, as a playable character. It would be cool to see you hat trick this series with a retrospective on WM 21 on the Xbox.
    Now then...WM XIX. What can I say about this one. To me, it was the single most transitional, most 'in-between' game in the history of WWE video games, and it absolutely shows. It is literally a gaming phenomenon, a nexus perfectly centered between two eras and all of the massive IRL company transitions and contract/licensing disputes going on at the time. This game had no wrestling-related story mode, no belts, knock-off entrance music, and a tremendous lack of overall depth (outside of Terminator Mode) as a result. That being said, what we did get - and it's amazing this game could even be made at all - was awesome in a strange and eclectic kind of way. Death-Kill Mode definitely left that lasting impression on me for sure, and I still like to go back and revisit it once in a while. The roster was fantastic, even for lacking Raven, who'd have been right at home in this one. I even liked the hidden "BOSS" custom characters you unlock in Slayer Mode. At the end of the day, Manhunt Mode aside, this game will always be a weird, odd-ball classic to me...a perplexing picture of purgatorial perfection. Another great review, Six!

    As always, great video Ian! I'm actually surprised you didn't talk about WM 19's amazing create-an-entrance. At that time, it was by far the most amazing create-an-entrance mode in wrestling games. You can choose when your wrestle walks out onto the ramp and the timing of all the lighting and fireworks. It was amazing! I'm was happy that the reckoning games kept it in tact!

      Those bosses can be frustrating. If you knock the wrestler off the ledge or that breakable ground to the right of the Tower, they're replaced by a weaker worker, I think. Don't do that to the agent, because they're just replaced by a fresh version of that same agent.
