'WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game' RETROSPECTIVE - Triangle X Squared O.

- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- These days, video games based on pro wrestling are, for the most part, going for a simulation style. The WWE 2K series is the biggest in the industry and it's trying its hardest to recreate what you see on television every Monday and Thursday. And that's fine! They (for the most part) do a pretty good job with what they're trying to accomplish. But it wasn't always like this. We used to have games like WWE All Stars, where over the top, cartoonish versions of our favorite current and classic WWE Superstars would fly 30 feet in the air when executing a maneuver. Before that, we had WWE WrestleMania XIX, with a story mode that's... Oh man, we'll jump into that somewhere down the line.
The point is this... Before any of those titles hit stores shelves, we had 1995's WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game. You may have come across this one in an actual video arcade, or maybe you owned one of the home console ports. The fact of the matter is this: WrestleMania: The Arcade Game walked so that games like All Stars and Battlegrounds could run. Let's dive into this one for our SEASON 2 PREMIERE of Triangle X Squared O: The Wrestling Game Retrospective Series. Enjoy it!
(Season 2, Episode 1)

9:59 "When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this"
Exactly. I knew there'd be some that got it.
Remember Rappin’ Duke?! Da ha da ha, you never thought that hip hop could take it this far!
spot on...
I'm guessing Kevin Nash couldn't be bothered doing all the photo capture work lol
Hahaha, if Nitro and Thunder was any indication, it's possible.
I love how HBKs ending is basically death by snu snu 😂
And he was all smiles.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.
Dude, your reading of the ending screens was hilarious!! My sides were splitting. I completely forgot how ridiculous they are.
Really glad you popped for those. It's so long on one screen, I was worried it might not land. Thanks brudda.
@@616Entertainment As far as Bigelow setting the audience on fire goes, it does make me wonder why he didn't do that to Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania 11.
Ah this takes me back all those awesome childhood memories of going to the arcade and playing awesome games like this one. And yes I've played WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game aka Mortal Kombat with a WWF/E skin and loved it.
The golden days, right?
@@616Entertainment Yep those were the golden days.
Bonus points for the Batman Genesis background music
Good ear.
This is one of the funniest videos i’ve seen in a while, The “Ghoulies” bit had me in tears my man!
Dude I was so proud of that Ghoulies bit, I'm glad it's landing.
@@616Entertainment I remember those Ghoulies movies, the 80s had some crazy ass creature horror/comedy things going on, Ghoulies, Gremlins, Critters, etc.
Doink was definitely a great character in that era one of my fav. Ahh miss those days this is also the era where games were getting great in graphics and bits! Thanks Ian.
Thanks for watching, Gino.
Doink was great as a heel when he was played by Matt Borne.
@@RoyStantz Matt Osborne! Yes good character.
@@ginodejesus9302 But once Borne left and Ray Apollo took over, Doink became a face jobber.
This was one of the best wrestling games I ever played. I use to have crowds of people around me when I used to play this in the arcade.
The good old days.
I had the Genesis port of this game, it was so much fun.
Indeed!
I had the PlayStation version. It was fun for a while, but it got really repetitive pretty fast.
The Genesis port had yokozuna and Bam Bam Bigelow and the snes version didn't have those wrestlers.
Was always a rumor that adam bomb was a hidden unlockable
@@marccaselle8108 I never knew the snes version was missing bam bam n yoko. What a jip
Can't wait to see what Ian has in store for us this time
Hope you enjoyed it, my dude.
Chicago's own Mancow Muller is sitting front row in his iconic sunglasses & white and black t-shirt in the arcade version of this game.
Is that actually supposed to be him or is it a coincidence?
@@616Entertainment That is him. He was in with the Midway company as they're based out of Chicago as well.
Damn, I love this game so much! This game is the reason why I became the biggest Yokozuna fanboy in the world. In fact, I bought 2K Battlegrounds just because of the fact Yoko is in it! *You have to give credit to YO-KO-ZUNA!*
Yoko was the man.
A Legend
Tonight Yoko documantary after the Rumble !!!
The next episode in the series dropped today
Dunkey's best of 2020 dropped today
What a special day this is
Heeeyyyy what a great day. =)
I remember spamming the Frankensteiner as HBK, that used to piss my friends off in this game. Lmao.
It's a good trick, though.
Dude that was a absolute rocketbuster went off the chart as Taz said famously, I'm hoping that you'll make as much of a speedy recovery as you can dude.
Hahahaha, thanks Connor.
This is one of my first PS1 games, and it's such a blast to play even today. The thing that I thought was funny about it was the fact that Bret Hart doesn't have crazy moves...and is one of the best characters in the game!
Anyways, another AWESOME episode! Keep up the good work, Ian!
He's got that sweet rolling uppercut.
This game was very underappreciated it was a good play for it's time. A time when pro wrestling was some what a real life comic book.
A super different time indeed, man.
"I'm kiddin, obviously" lol
It was a good bit, though. Lol
This definitely takes me back! Thank you! Get well soon, my friend!
Thanks dude, I'm doing everything I can.
Arcade sports will always capture the spirit and feeling of the sport than any simulation ever could.
Eh, I think sometimes that's true, sometimes it's night.
So much nostalgia, get well soon!
Thank you, my friend.
Brings back childhood and lot of memories and good times.
Thanks for the flashback Ian,you are the best.
Hope you are doing better.
I am finally beginning to heal, thank you.
Hope you are getting better bro! Thank you so much for all the content and entertainment you provide for your fans! God Bless you man! Sending good vibes and prayers to you! 🙏👍
Thank you, Glen. I'm finally beginning to heal. Long way to go, but I'm going.
Perfect premiere! Loved both of those titles and owned them both. Hope you’re feeling better!!
I'm starting to heal. My lungs have a ways to go.
OMG! I also got freaked out by that damn Ghoulies cover hahahah
Ghoulies is a legendary little kid freaker-outer, lol.
Wrestlemania the arcade game? You can not imagine how much i played it back in the days. Again and again and again. Although there weren't a lot of game modes to play. Although there were "only" six/eight wrestlers playable. I still got it today and still play it from time to time on my super nintendo. I love it. I don't know what it was that fascinated me there. Maybe the sounds or maybe the crazy moves or maybe the graphics (they looked pretty damn cool in the 90's) maybe the commentary or maybe all togother.
You know what, i think i just have to play it again. :-) thanks sir. i love your content and i really like how you present stuff like this, so damn good and entertaining. keep it up.
Yes, do it! Thanks so much for the kind words. I hope you track a copy down and have a blast.
Oh, man! The Ghoulies bit had me in stitches! XD
I''m glad, I was really proud of that bit, hahahaha. And it's totally true, as well. Every time I would get lost looking at the Ghoulies tapes.
I had this as a kid on Sega. This was so fun, I beat the game a couple times. Bret Hart was my favorite wrestler, but Razor was my favorite character in this game. "Nobody messes with the bad guy! " As I slam them by their feet to the ground over and over!
Dude that Razor slam was amazing.
@@616Entertainment you're right, Big Daddy Cool Diesel should have been in the game for sure. Would've loved to see their version of the Jackknife.
Soooooo stoked! When I saw this in my notifications. Love! me sum triangle x square o....you have such a phenomenal way of putting nostalgia into words & bring back genuine feelings of my childhood. U da man Ian da! Man!
P.s. I'm loving watching your sub count climbing seems like the count is climbing a little faster lately.....congrats on 73k hope & you're feeling better
Thank you for the support. I'm finally on the healing side of things.
Ian, another awesome video, Thanks so much buddy!
Thanks for being here, dude.
Awesome love this series! And I love the sneaky extra game too in your house. I enjoyed both games. Great start to a new season Ian
Had to sneak it in there!
@@616Entertainment thanks man it was great to see.
Great stuff man! I cant wait for the next one. It's my favorite gamecube wwe game. I hope you're feeling alright.
Great video is always hope you feel better buddy thank you for the great content as always
I'm doing my best, thank you.
Dude, “Batman” Sega Genesis OST in the background is A+. Always loved that soundtrack.
The digitized graphics were always pretty cool to me. It definitely made everything stand out visually, and the behind-the-scenes process was really interesting to see. Plus having those sprites made it possible to mod games, like the video going around featuring Razor Ramon in Mortal Kombat. A crossover I didn’t know I needed.
The special moves were always crazy. That fighting game, arcade-style influence was something I never got into.
And those endings...my god, the elseworlds tales we could have seen from the New Generation.
Never seen a single Ghoulie movie haha. Awesome video man!
Excellent catch on the Batman music. I'm never sure what music I'm going to use, but when I came across the Batman Genesis OST I was like man, this is it. This is the one. And dude I've still never seen Ghoulies either, to this day.
I actually really loved this game as a 12 year old kid. Many weekends smashing my friends with doinks hammer. Thanks for this upload man..brings back great memories.
Nostalgia is powerful, man. Thanks forwatching.
Another home run episode. Love the addition of the early 90's arcade footage, was more nostalgic than the games themselves!
Nostalgia is so powerful, man.
I've gone back to this game multiple times over the years including last year. Such a fun party game which I've introduced to my wife, a close friend and my son via the SNES! A huge highlight was winning the tag titles with my wife as Bret Hart and The Undertaker respectively! I hope your recovery (see RUclips post) is going well! Excited for the next installment of Triangle, X, Squared Circle.
I love the memories. And I'm getting there, man. Little by little. Thank you!
Spent so so so much time and quarters on this game. If i ever had the money I'd buy a cabinet for my home.
Man I don't even know what these go for as far as the full size arcade is concerned.
I'm so glad I got this game when I was a kid even though I could never win any of the handicap matches.
They're hard, man.
I remember this being my favorite wrestling game back in the day. As an MK fan, it was in my alley. My brother and I couldn’t stop playing it.
Dude it was perfect for a fan of wrestling and Mortal Kombat, no doubt.
You always deliver on these videos. I can't to see what happens next for the channel
Thanks for watching, dude.
Finally Ian brings us Season 2 =D . I gotta say man, I really enjoy the retrospective videos where you do deep dives in the games not only because your knowledgeable, but also because I think you got good taste in games and can give a mean and accurate review regardless of if it was good or dogshit.
I remember going to the Arcade every weekend and playing this, MK2&3 and Tekken 3 for hours on end man. Nostalgia really feels great sometimes, Thanks Bro, Now I miss the "Magic Company" - (In South Africa, we still have Arcades here and there. Yes their still open and YES I will be going to play some arcade games really soon)
Wow, still having arcades out in the wild is great. They are few and far between here.
@@616Entertainment Just about every Mall in ZA still has one, but most of them merged with the likes bowling alleys and such..
The games just don't cost only a quarter or two to play anymore HAHA
Hope you’re feeling better man, awesome episode as always
I'm finally beginning to heal, thank you.
Great video brought back a lot of memories. Hppe you're feeling better.
Thank you. I'm finally on the other side now. I just need my lungs to get better so I can actually speak and project my voice.
You are the man, and I hope you are feeling better after your run with the virus. I know you have not been feeling well, but this was a great start to Season 2. I do not have the best memories of this game, but it is still one that I own to this very day. I am actually really excited to see you cover Wrestlemania XIX as that was an event I actually went to back in 2003 with my dad. I got to see some of the greatest matches ever, and then when they came out with this game, I got to RELIVE IT!
Anyways, just wanted to say great job, and I hope you are feeling better. 😉
Thank you my dude. I'm on the mend now, I'm trying my absolute best. Thank you for watching.
@@616Entertainment No problem, thank you for always pushing to make content for your viewers. There are so many people that appreciate the hard work you put in.
Thanks for the vid hope to see you in a healthy state as you were in this video thanks again and God bless
Man, I'd love to be feeling like that again. Hopefully soon.
Big fan man love your stuff keep it upb
Plenty more to come, don't worry.
Bro I can’t wait till you talk about Wrestlemania XIX that was my very first wrestling game on GameCube & I’ve been a fan of it since then excellent video bro keep it up 💯
Dude it's going to be fun.
Hope all is well good sir! Thank you for the awesome video 🙂
Thank you very much for watching!
Im stoked to see this series return but I hate you're sick dude. I hope you feel better soon Ian.
I'm doing everything I can to get better, thank you, Matt.
An Olympic gold medal for poop diving 😂 actually the best line I’ve ever heard. I never played this but seems fun as hell. Great work, man, and I hope ya feel better sooner rather than later 👊🏻
Hahahahaa, glad you liked that. Thanks for watching.
Oh man! I remember playing this back then. Haha I loved it.
This one brings your back.
Been waiting for season 2 at last the wait is finally over
Here we are!
Hope you’re feeling better, dude. You have some of the best content on RUclips.
I have begun to heal, thank you.
Love your channel :)
I used to have this game for the SNES back when I was a kid I played the hell out of it. It was like street fighter or mortal Kombat which was super popular back in the day. Even though it's not realistic it was still a lot of fun.
I had great memories of this game as a kid and never realized the closeness comparisons between this and mortal kombat. Great job for a season two opener. I look forward to episode 2 next time. Even the in your house surprise at the end was great. I love ya too and hope you get well soon. Muah Muah Muah, I’ll see ya next... damn it I already said “next time” I can’t say it again, dammit man lol. Have a good one Mr. IDS616
Hahahahahaha. Thanks man. I'm really glad you liked it.
I didn’t like it... I fuckin loved it my dude!
Your content is great bro. Hope you’re feeling well. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm on the mending side, finally. Long ways to go, though.
Please keep making content! Love this!
I'm trying my hardest to battle Covid so I can keep going.
@@616Entertainment I hope I didn’t just put unneeded pressure on you! I can feel the passion have when you put content out and I enjoy it 100000% and absolutely relate to it. However, you and those you love come first. I’m not even sure if I’m responding properly, but what I am trying to say is, you inspire and I support whatever you do out there boss!
#616🔥
Great video man hopefully u get well soon Jaja the ghoullies part was funny
Really glad you liked the Ghoulies bit, I was proud of that.
I couldn't agree with you more. This was a very interesting time for games. It's not perfect but I had a blast with it. Nfl blitz was another awesome game. Great job with the vid 616! 👊
Exactly. Fun in short bursts, made for great memories.
You had me with that Bret Hart taking a year off to work on games 😂 great vid man. As usual, the nostalgia is real with this one. Hope you're well now
I'm beginning to heal.
@@616Entertainment glad to hear it
Hope you're feeling better Ian!!!! Love your content!!!
I am finally on the mend. Need my lungs to start to heal.
I loved this game. This was one of the first games that I ever got on the PlayStation. I still have my copy after all of these years. To this day, I sometimes pop it in the PS3 and play it for old time's sake.
Nostalgia is super powerful, man.
I will never forget seeing the first Mortal Kombat game in an arcade for the first time, right when it came out. I’m 37 now, so you do the math. There was ALWAYS a crowd around the game. The other thing that I always remember is when NFL Blitz first came out, and thinking it was hilarious that sometimes the announcer would say “Holy $hit!” when you tackled someone really late. Sure they bleeped out the swear word, but it was still funnier than hell.
Dude Blitz in the arcade is on another level.
@@616Entertainment I still love that game... my N64 is buried in a closet right now, and I don’t have too many games left for it anymore, but you better believe NFL Blitz is one of them. Bro, do you remember Blast Corps for the 64? I’ve got that one in there somewhere too... that game used to make me so incredibly angry. LOL
Enjoyed both games quite a bit. Super stoked for the rest of the season!!!
It's going to be great, dude.
Excited for this hope your feeling better Ian and excited for 616 nitro on monday
I cannot guarantee there will be a 616Nitro on Monday. My lungs are damaged and providing commentary is not something I can do right now. If it happens, it'll be recorded tomorrow.
Thanks for this one! Hope you're feeling better!!
Thanks dude. I'm on the mend.
this brought memories in the arcade when i was looking at free games then suddenly saw WWF WrestleMaina it felt amazing just enjoying how gameplay is and characters were at that time hell, even my dad played with me which he beat me numerous times.. that year in 2010 i officially called my dad Triple H
Hahahaha, dad with the HHH reign of terror.
I absolutely loved this game. I owned it on the Sega. Not one of the best but my brother and I spend hours on this game just for fun. My go to’s were Undertaker and Razor Ramon. I wish WWE Battlegrounds would have taken this approach. Probably would have brought the game.
Yea, I think we all heard about BG and thought "this COULD be something...." And it wasn't.
Woah! I didn’t even know there was an In Your House game. Thanks man!
Yes indeed!
Those games are bringing back a bunch of memories for me, I remember playing WWF Wrestlemania in a arcade and then I had it on the Sega Genesis.... I also remember WWF in your house but not his well as Wrestlemania
Yea, WrestleMania seems to still control the mindshare.
@@616Entertainment The Only Thing I Didn't Like About The Game Is The Fact That Undertaker Had Funeral March Instead Of Grim Reaper It Was Inaccurate Also Undertaker's Photo Should've Been Updated With His 1994 Photo Of Taker Wearing Purple Gloves
That Bam Bam ending is some real Vegeta shit.
Lots of DBZ comparisons coming in.
Imagine If That Ending Was Undertaker's "Undertaker Obliterates Everyone In His Path For Gold" Razor Ramon: I Doubt That Undertaker Was Like This
As a 2000's kid I actually got to play In Your House on the Playstation and me and my brother definitely enjoyed that game and to this day we still sometimes talk about it
I am absolutely jacked for the Wrestlemania XIX retrospective! Spent countless hours with that one and I'm pretty sure every single one of my created wrestler's moves were other peoples finishers.
I'm excited to put it out, man.
Definitely miss the golden years of arcades...😪
A hell of a time.
This was awesome bro, great job
Thanks for watching, dude.
@@616Entertainment np
This was fantastic, Ian. I hope you get well soon
Thank you, I'm trying.
Great video, Ian ! & commentary is pure gold. For the next episode, I suggest Rumble Roses for PS2. As Ed from Ed, Edd n Eddy best said: "Drool I must. Yum." Anyway get well soon Ian & don't give up, dude!
Next episode was already announced!
Hope you're feeling better bro. ✌🏽❤ this one takes me back.
I'm on the mend. I need my lung strength to improve.
Absolutely love this game only them who aren't good at it hate it, it doesn't deserve the hate it gets unless its the snes port, thanks for the video love your content bro
Thanks for watching.
Triangle x squared circle fuckin rules dude. Welcome back brother
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Ah the arcade days. Amazing. I don't ever recall playing this one but I think I'm gonna score myself a copy off eBay now. Hope you're recovering well from Covid Ian.
I'm recovering, thanks for the love, man.
The wait is over 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾... Had this game for PlayStation as a kid, lets goooo!!! 🔥💯🔥💯
Hope you enjoy it, dude.
Remember playing this game at the arcade as a kid and enjoying it . Then getting on cd rom and playing it everyday until I beat it .
You were determined!
That wrestling game was gold back then I probably could still play it today
It's still fun. It doesn't really hold up for a long time, but it's fun for a bit.
Holy Hell Bro!!! Day of Reckoning is almost among us!!! Finally the Gamecube wrestling games!!!
It's going to be a good time. =)
Love this series! 🤘🏼
Thank you, Brandon. I have a great time making them.
Yes!!! Another one of my childhood favorite games. I played the most on the SNES version, so when I eventually played the other ports, I was slaughtered by the speed increase. Lol. Not to mention the extra fighter on screen.
Yea, the extra fighter just so we could FIGHT MORE HANDICAP MATCHES! lol
This reminded me of how much I miss games like WM:A, NFL Blitz, NHL Hitz, MLB Slugfest, Red Card 20-03, NBA Street, and SSX. I have never like sports games, but when they are purposely over the top, they are a blast.
Especially SSX. I never thought I'd dig a snowboarding game, but it wound up being one of the 4 launch titles I bought with the system (along with Armored Core 2, Evergrace, and SFEx3). To this day, SSX Tricky remains one of my favorite games in PS2's library. Hell, how about doing to look at the SSX series on the channel?
Arcade sports games are so great, man. And believe it or not, I've never played an SSX game in my life.
@@616Entertainment Criminal. Absolutely criminal. You have homework. Make it happen!
Your Ghoulies black out reminded me of Dead Alive. That VHS cover always freaked me out in the video store.
Another classic, man.
Man I will NEVER forget the first time I saw this game in a arcade that's right folks a arcade my jaw hit the ground I could not believe the WWF had a arcade game
Yes, dude!
Great video, as always, homie!
Thanks Brandon, more to come.
@@616Entertainment whoop
Love the video and I hope to have u back soon get well and see u back soon brother kick covids ass bro u got this
I'm finally beginning to heal, thank you.
That game brings a lot of memories, best friend used to work at the arcade in the mall, i just about or graduated high school but i remember how cook it was at the time. Damn time where did my youth go?
Dude asking where the time went just gets more and more painful, right?
@@616Entertainment depressing but happy i lived as GenXer played outside but also played games.
Man I popped huge for the Ghoulies part! I shit in a diaper until I was about 8 yrs old because of seeing that box art every time we went to my local Blockbuster! My parents hate me to this day! AWESOME vid brother.
This has me fuckin laughing, I love it.
My buddy and I use to walk from our trailer park to castle rental just to rent this game. Good stuff! I always loved yokozuna, as a life long fat kid myself I was stoked to see him playable. Damn bro, i cracked up with that ghoulie segment. For me I always remember "layer of the white worm" with some hot broad on the cover dressed like a worm? What the fuck is that? Lmao, love the vid as always. Thanks for work!
Hahahahaha I've never heard of that movie, but it does indeed sound like something that would have had me pausing in the aisle. So good.
I have a blast playing this game on Genesis, it come out right in the middle of WCW aired in my country every Sunday in 1994-95, my childhood friends (son of my dad co-worker) have genesis and with few of other friends we did a mini tournament each time we visit his house
Great memories, right?
@@616Entertainment Absolutely... The owner always win of course, He knew almost all the moves while we just happy being allowed to play with him and basically to be his cannon fodder a.k.a target practice most of the time (im only have NES back then).
I wish every Bad Video Game could start off with LOOK AT THIS SHIT!!! 🤣
Hahahahahaha
