  • The Simpsons are iconic, right? One could even consider them 'immortal,' having established their legendary footprint all the way back in 1989. Over the decades of weekly television, across which The Simpsons have produced more than 700 episodes, the legacy has grown exponentially. From TV to film, from action figures to t-shirts, from posters to video games, there's no stopping The Simpsons. Of those video games, though, not all were created equal. Titles like Road Rage or Hit And Run have stood the test of time, where others like Simpsons Skateboarding have... not. And with as low down as Skateboarding is, it doesn't hold a candle to Simpsons Wrestling.
    Simpsons Wrestling may very well be the worst wrestling game ever made, and it's about time we give it the full Triangle X Squared O deep dive, retrospective treatment. From Groundskeeper Willie to Bumblebee Man and Ned Flanders to Professor Fink, this one is the dirt worst. Don't believe me? Just click play.

      OSW might be worth a watch Ian since you were a WCW boi and not born when they start their tracking of the big Hogan WWF run. Their WCW episodes are pretty awesome as well, that might trigger some nostalgia for ya. Y'all have similar Don't Give A Fuck comedic styles except they are Irish and a trio,whereas you just kick ass solo.
      They are massive Simpsons marks as well so that may be why the original commentor made that comparison as well.

    You know, despite the title being "Simpsons Wrestling", never once did I ever consider that you'd make a video about it for Triangle X Squared Circle. I mean, you fairly pointed out that besides taking place in a ring and featuring the barest of win-by-pin mechanics, there's nothing tying this to 'wrestling'. Also, the fact we got crap like this when the arcade Simpsons game was sitting right there without a home port is just...there aren't words.
    This game is in my collection, but I have never played it. A co-worker bought it back in 2001 and was unable to return it since he had only learned it was crap the old-fashioned way (opening it and playing it). Since he knew I had a PlayStation, he gave it to me, told me it was terrible, but he didn't want it in his house. So I added it to my PS1 library and it's just been sitting there for twenty years. Oh well, at least it's keeping it out of someone else's hands. :)

    I’ve got zero experience with this game. I feel better off for it. You’d be better off playing Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge.
    Switching the art style is an interesting thing, I have only seen it work with character skins or something. One of the TMNT games had a thing where you could switch the in-game sprites to old school comic looking, Playmates-inspired in-game models. Batman in his animated look was super fun in Arkham City. But that’s ONE character, not the whole game haha.
    Great video, man. Makes me wonder if this would have gone over better if this came out during the Simpsons’ peak, but then again Bart vs the Space Mutants wasn’t good either so who knows.

    Ok so what I always heard was that this game was never meant to be a wrestling game but was licensed to be a generic story based Simpsons game but due to the popularity of wrestling that all changed.
    The studio wanted to make bank on the wrestling boom and the developers who were angry over the concept change just rushed this garbage into production and called it a day.
    Is that true? I don’t know but it always made sense to me so I believed it.

  • @evanhanley6437
    @evanhanley6437 3 года назад

    Here's some information I gathered on The Simpsons Wrestling and why it turned out so poor. One of the former level designers from Big Ape Studios revealed some mindblowing information on his website.
    -Supposedly there were problems with the license holder about attacking other people other than the AI. I think he was probably implying that a Tag Team Mode was planned but cut due to production problems.
    -The original dialogue written by the writers of the show to use for the characters was originally more vulgar but was dropped completely.
    -An arena called "Springfield Elementary" was cut due to the Columbine Massacre.
    -The producer hadn't a clue what to do with the game and left during mid development. The team had to work on it themselves.
    -He believed that the team shouldn't have called the game Simpsons Wrestling due to feedback from wrestling fans.
    -The frame rate was ruined due to design choices with the characters.
    -The character select screen was originally going to be 3D and allowed you to hit the ai and swear at them but this was cut very early on. Someone found all the cut voice lines in the games files. There is E3 2000 footage of this on RUclips.
    -He enjoyed working on the game and saw this as a massive building block for working on games in the future. He is aware of the games legacy.

    The 3 moves u mentioned in the beginning aren't the only ones u can do..
    When you're jumping on opponents head, you can press triangle and circle and square as well for different attacks, if u do circle u jump and knock your opponent down,
    also when you grab you can do the same thing.. triangle is a character special grab, square is to throw them. circle is to slam them onto the ground
    Same with using the ring ropes to bounce yourself into your opponent, u can use square, triangle and circle to combo it just after u bounce.
    Another thing
    The developers were excited to make this game but the main director of the game quit midway through and the rest of the people were left to scrap the game to the end
    that is why the character screen, the main menu screen and cutscenes are bad
    If u're wandering how I know, well I know someone that talked to a person that worked on the game.
    Another thing, u can play as smithers and the alien guy by entering cheat codes, as well as the cat and mouse from the show (which u can also get by completing all of the modes)
    There is a story mode actually, it's in the manual for the game

    I'm a Simpsons fan myself but the Simpsons wrestling did not age well. There was no Treehouse of Horror levels or anything that had to do with Treehouse of Horror at all in that game so on my scale of great game to asinine and atrocious ripoff I would give it an asinine rating because why would they do a wrestling game that's based on The Simpsons without putting actual wrestling like Greco-Roman wrestling pro wrestling Japanese pro wrestling or hell even Deathmatch wrestling?

      Dude half of Dexter sucks. It was my favorite show at one point, S4 is the peak... And then it's never the same. Season 7 was the closest they got to a comeback, and then Season 8 was so horribly hilarious that I had to turn it off in like the second episode. It got THAT bad. Such a shame, too.

    This game was so sadly disappointing for me. I think I saw it at a relative's house once when I was a kid and for around 15 years I thought I must have dreamt it because I never heard or saw anything about the Simpsons fighting game again. When I finally re-discovered it, I didn't mind if it was bad, what made me sad is that it's not really interesting at all. I spent all those years wondering how the game really was, and for an awful game, it could at least have been somewhat fun, but it wasn't.

    I really hate to say this but, the best parts about Hit and Run are the story, unlockables and interactivity. The gameplay itself is repetitive and every chance to actually use your punches and kicks is optional. Seriously! Every single mission is a literal race against time and the last one is impossible to beat because the countdown is way too fast.
