My favorite aspect of the Gamecube games was the ref's fighting back after having enough of the wrestlers' abuse. Also, all the moves look so damn crunchy and painful on the Gamecube
Great game I enjoyed South Park , Royal rumble , silent hill, soul Calibur, Spider-Man , gta 2, virtua striker 2, Daytona USA , nfl , resident evil and 102 Dalmatian’s I own those
It has to do with the timing of this games development, when they started it was still WWF but once they finished it was WWE, due to deadlines they couldn't go back and change the in game logos, so they just changed the cover and packaging.
I love Wrestlemania XIX's references to the AKI games on the N64. While it can't compete with Yoshiyuki Odaka's Smackdown Mall, the Shop Zone is a cute love letter to the former. The "Revenge" mode references WCW/nWo Revenge in my opinion, because in it, you unlock bosses based on popular Puro, MMA, and American Wrestlers. You even have Hon Zo Mon who represents FMW's Hayabusa who has been represented in many AKI games including WCW/nWo World Tour and Revenge, Ming Chee, Bartender Bismarck and others that have the move set of Bob Sapp and Scott Hall, winking at the fans buy giving him the movesets, taunts, and of course the name Victor Romanov, referring to Scott Hall's Razor Ramon gimmick in WWE, and other fictional characters with real life move sets.
Also, when you talk about the DOR games, please talk about creation suite. It's literally the best creation suite I've seen in a video game. You can make insanely accurate characters from other media. Hell, I even created Mewtwo on my DOR copy.
Loved this, Been playing Wrestlemania XIX a lot this week. It seems to be the closest thing to a spiritual No Mercy sequel we ever got, Especially in the the art style and animations. 2 former AKI developers worked on X8 & XIX and i think it shows especially in the latter.
These games are my childhood. Sure, the PS2 Smackdown games are probably better and more refine (and I also grew up with those games) but I always found these games to be very underrated. I especially love how in WM19 (and in the Day of Reckoning games) you can completely create your own entrances with a created wrestler before the main series WWE games did that feature. Back as a kid, that was amazing!
My gamecube library is really small, I have the WWE games and Resident Evil 0, Remake and Resident Evil 4. I originally bought it just for the RE Remake, but the WWE games, particularly the DOR games were a nice bonus. I remember sinking a lot of time into Wrestlemania 19's Revenge mode, but I didn't remember the chains. That looks rather frustrating. Great video, and thanks for the great job you've been doing especially with the lockdown situation. It's a nice bonus to be able to put on one of your videos and forget about the troubles for a short while.
REmake is one of my favourite Gamecube games and it was one of the reasons I bought the console too. I've been replaying the HD remaster lately too after being slightly disappointed with RE3 Remake.
@@WrestlingBios I can understand that, I enjoyed it but at the same time I do feel they could have done a lot more and Nemesis was underwhelming, I wish he was more like Mr X in RE2 Remake. I remember the original Remake blew my mind, the mansion was so spooky, exactly what we all wanted with it.
I just wrapped up the next video, plan is to play Remake 1 tonight :) I was initially going to play CVX but talking about Remake 1 here has made me want to play it again
Wrestlemania XIX was my favor for a long time, even after the DOR games came out, only for the insanely detailed create an entrance mode. Being able to time your entrances to the 10th of a second was fantastic.
The things I love about Wrestlemania 19 is the revenge mode and also the alternate costume each character has. That game was so much fun. I still remember playing them with my sisters and cousins.
I stayed up all night to play these games on my purple Game Cube console. I enjoyed playing 18x but 19x was so different. The graphics were so arcade like but all of the superstars look amazing imo. The game play in 19 was pretty fluid considering it being around 03' and you could have intergender matches. Oh every person had alternate attires. Something I miss in wrestling games.
Wrestlemania X8 was my first wrestling game and I couldn’t put it down I have been a wrestling fan since I was a baby and that game will always have a special place in my heart
Really would love to see the older games come back on today consoles ps4 and ps5, wwf no mercy, wrestlemania xix, day of reckoning 1&2, wcw nwo revenge, njpw game that got The same wwf no mercy engine i think, here comes The pain, i really wanna see what aew will bring to the table with their game hopefully something like those gems ✌️
Man these games are classics! I remember having these games and having fun with my cousins!! Wrestlemania x8’s extreme mode man that was like a UFC beat down! lol! XIX was incredible loved the gameplay and the graphics were so much better! Regardless both games are great regardless of graphics!
One of my biggest issues with XIX is the fact that the intro walks are so stiff and they're basis of your intro. It makes everything so stiff! But the mode gives you way more options and camera angle than the 2K games. Even the latest, 2K20 looks identical to how it has looked since SVR 2006.
Awesome Awesome Awesome Video! Retro gaming is one of my main serious hobbies (NES Tetris specifically)... So these videos you've done covering old wrestling video games have been right up my alley! Never did own a GameCube, so these games were totally new to me during this video. I owned the NES, SNES and N64 and a bunch of the wrestling games for those. Fired up the SNES Royal Rumble game early last week and it gave me chills. lmao. Thanks so much for the effort! Please stay safe out there!
My long held theory about revenge mode is both a work and a shoot the bosses are just ovw guys and the security guards are just rookies breaking in and each mission is just a segment on raw each week to build hype for the wrestlemainia 19 main event it’s brilliant
God Bless you for doing this video, I used to own X8 (still do but I doubt the disc works anymore) and it was... meh. I rented XIX once and I was amazed at how cool it seemed and the aesthetic of it all, and it took me about three years before I finally got to buy it. To make things worse I got sick once playing X8 eating pie so every time I thought of the game I'd get sick and couldn't play XIX. :( lmao
GameCube was ahead of its time. Right now remakes of classic games like resident evil 2 and 3 or GAMECUBE was doing this with this system like the remake of resident evil 1 was amazing still to this day 😀 👏. Nice video about wrestling on the GameCube.
I remember playing these games so much when they came out, Revenge mode was awesome but I definitely remember raging out alot hahaha, I remember using Brock and just F5 Guards all the time.
I changed the taunts for the wrestlers in x8 without my friend knowing. He owned the game, so it was super hilarious when Hollywood Hogan stopped his beat down of Steve Austin to execute a perfect spinaroonie.
The WrestleMania 18 was very nostalgia game roster and WrestleMania 19 was classic roster. I don't compare both of this game for DOR 1 & 2 because every game a different era and specially the roster.
I only bought day of reckoning 2, because Stacy Kiebler was on the cover. I litteraly knew nothing about it. But I won a battle royale and a ladder match and those rewards were well worth the efforts.
WrestleMania 19 Revenge mode and Create a Wrestler mode and buying a lot of different things from Stacy in WWE shop mode. WWE RAW 2 game from first original old Xbox console itself was my legend WWE games of all time and WWE Here comes the Pain as well. WWE RAW 2 game needs to be available for Xbox game pass.
I never played these games when they were new, I was too much of a PS2/Smackdown fanboy. If you're gonna cover more Gamecube games I'd love to see your input on the DoR games.
I remember playing them back in the day. WM18 I must of played a hand full of times but WM19 & Day of Reckoning I played for ages. The Revenge mode is absolutely brilliant. Thanks making this video. Usually it's always American RUclipsrs.
I was INSANELY disappointed with X8. I was dying for another No Mercy experience on the Gamecube, and this game clearly didn't deliver. I played Def Jam Vendetta over X8. XIX was a MAJOR improvement.
Maybe just a nuance I prefer, but felt after wrestlemania 2000 and no mercy, both of which were far superior in every way to mania 18, the select a wrestler mode with the blocks arcade style feels a bit devolved. Not played mania 19 yet but from this and good reviews I'm gettin me GameCube out of the loft.
I liked Christian old wwe theme from wm18 and WWE Wrestlemania XIX GameCube days from THQ and wwe Raw 2 Xbox game THQ was awesome get create anything and in the ring good times
My favorite aspect of the Gamecube games was the ref's fighting back after having enough of the wrestlers' abuse. Also, all the moves look so damn crunchy and painful on the Gamecube
Agreed , but the controls are unbearable .... Would've been better on the ps2 tbh
here comes the pain the refs reversed everything
james jobber damn 😂 ref said it’s bouta be no dq
@@Cj-hj6rm How? It's easy to control.....
@@jonathanhannah4 The controls were easy to me too.
Kurt Angle taking off his straps from his singlet is awesome. I love little details like that in games
The hell in the cell on WM 19 was amazing. Had incredible matches with friends
I loved it when the 3 consoles had there own games and they l felt different. Do Royal Rumble on the Dreamcast next.
That was a pretty good game
It was decent but DC owners deserved something better than that.
@@RetroGamerBB true....
The dream cast blew my mind when it came out. I swear it looked real
Great game I enjoyed South Park , Royal rumble , silent hill, soul Calibur, Spider-Man , gta 2, virtua striker 2, Daytona USA , nfl , resident evil and 102 Dalmatian’s I own those
loved this video man wm19 super underrated
I mean all GameCube wrestling games are underrated......
Day of reckoning 2 was better than the 64 games imo
@@jonathanhannah4 That's true. 💯
@@tylerwalters2205 no it wasn't. You can only play 1 vs 1 and tag team. You don't even have 3 or 4 way match on day of reckoning 2.
Underrated maybe, but not as good as the day of reckoning games
Played these for hours back in the day!!
Best version of hell in a cell. Imagine if the gamecube games had the elimination chamber
Interesting that X8 covers are both "WWE", but in game is "WWF".
It has to do with the timing of this games development, when they started it was still WWF but once they finished it was WWE, due to deadlines they couldn't go back and change the in game logos, so they just changed the cover and packaging.

The similar storyline of WM XIX, fighting people backstage with arcade beat em up type gameplay reminds me of Gameboy Color game WWF Betrayal.
Wrestlemania XIX was my favor for a long time, even after the DOR games came out, only for the insanely detailed create an entrance mode. Being able to time your entrances to the 10th of a second was fantastic.
Not to mention, WM 19 was the first wrestling game to have full entrances (besides WM 2000 on N64). That’s one of the reasons why I loved that game
WWF attitude has entrances

I loved Wrestlemania XIX, it gave me the No Mercy vibe.
WrestleMania XIX is one of the hidden gems as far as wrestling video games.
I absolutely loved this game played it to death for many sleep overs with 4 Player multi player , never knew benoit was unlockable
Wrestlemania 19 had amazing gameplay and customization. Also the best roster.
WrestleMania 18 was one of my favorite WWE games
Long live Shao khan the greatest wrestler to live
I had an x8 and 19 for cube. I enjoyed them. It is what you make of it. I'm not a game snob.
man I remember feeling scammed after I got wrestlemania x8 on gamecube coming off No Mercy on n64
Man these games are classics! I remember having these games and having fun with my cousins!! Wrestlemania x8’s extreme mode man that was like a UFC beat down! lol! XIX was incredible loved the gameplay and the graphics were so much better! Regardless both games are great regardless of graphics!
RVD on the cover always confused me.. One of these things is not like the other
ECW, WWE and WCW legends in the midst of the invasion angle
One of my biggest issues with XIX is the fact that the intro walks are so stiff and they're basis of your intro. It makes everything so stiff! But the mode gives you way more options and camera angle than the 2K games. Even the latest, 2K20 looks identical to how it has looked since SVR 2006.
Was playing Day of Reckoning as I saw this pop up lol. Public Enemy and Anthrax "Bring Tha Noise" as the title track still slaps.
Awesome Awesome Awesome Video!
Retro gaming is one of my main serious hobbies (NES Tetris specifically)...
So these videos you've done covering old wrestling video games have been right up my alley!
Never did own a GameCube, so these games were totally new to me during this video.
I owned the NES, SNES and N64 and a bunch of the wrestling games for those.
Fired up the SNES Royal Rumble game early last week and it gave me chills. lmao.
Thanks so much for the effort! Please stay safe out there!
Wonderful job and congratulations with 115 k subs.
I played my Wrestlemania X8 disc so much that the damn thing broke. Loved that game as a kid.
My childhood memories 😍😍 Mum wouldn’t get a ps2 😂
Great video, such nostalgia. And looking forward to Day of reckoning, highly underated wrestling game.

Wrestlemania 19 was the first game I owned for the GC, ahhh good memories.
This was a childhood favorite no lie. 1v1ing a friend was always something sweet after the W.
WrestleMania 18 for the GameCube was the last game that featured the WWF logo and Banner
13:21 should be renamed "Bischoff mode".
