The first game you reviewed, wrestlemania broke this poor little kid’s heart. When I was a little kid, we were dirt poor, but I loved wrestling like nothing else in this world. To my surprise, my mom had saved enough money and bought me the wrestlemania game. After about five minutes of playing that game I knew it was easily the worst video game I had ever played in my life. That was my one birthday gift, and it was awful.
I feel you brother as Hogan would say lol. Man I had the same experience almost with Rambo. Saved up all my birthday and Christmas money and bought it and was bummed out. Unless your local rental place had it the only thing I had to go by was pics on the box. Assed out lol
WCW Wrestling was the best of the federation licensed games, but it still had one huge frustration for me, and that's how the final boss was basically a giant that you had to kick, punch and do running attacks on until you win, because he was so big any grappling attack automatically failed, no matter how hurt he was.
One thing you can't capture is the window of time these games came out. The first game was the only game we had. It was awesome and also frustrating. I remember sleepovers, staying up all night going back and forth in this game. It was awesome. As far as Pro Wrestling goes.... that game was a game a few friends owned. It was something we played every weekend. We learned all the tricks. What an awesome game.
I got excited as soon as I saw Pro Wrestling at 2. Not enough people know about Tecmo World Wrestling. It's such a fantastic game, too. Great controls. Catchy music. Varied moves. It even has commentary. Dr. Guildo was always my favorite. However, I will note that the cutscenes get kind of old after awhile. It's probably the only criticism I have of the game. I don't need to see the goddamn Giant Swing cutscene in triplicate each and every single time I perform it, guys.
LOL.. I totally agree Dr. Guildo Swing did get old after a while, even to the point where I would stop doing it just so i didn't have to watch the cut scene animation.
The first Two Wrestlemania and Challenge was actually made by RARE aka RAREWARE the SNES and N64 goat that made Donkey Kong Country series even the WWF music was made by David Wise !!
On Steel Cage Challenge, I don't think that was Mean Gene Okerlund. It looked more like Howard Finkel, and would make more sense since he was the ring announcer at the time.
@@RudetunasArcade Thanks. Great video! I agree with many of your assessments. I have a vivid memory of renting M.U.S.C.L.E. at a local hobby shop, the one place I could rent NES cartridges.
I can’t deny the game is shit, but NES Wrestlemania (and Nintendo Power’s coverage of it) is what got me into watching wrestling. Earlier this year I got pictures taken with Ted Dibiase and Honky Tonk Man along with my original game cart…if someone had told me back in 1989 that would happen, I’d have called them crazy :D The game is also responsible for my fascination with wrestling entrance music, since I wanted to hear what the game music sounded like IRL. Now I’ve been collecting entrance music ever since I discovered the internet (25 years ago).
That's an awesome journey. Sometimes things happen for a reason. Some bad games can even hold a special place in our hearts, one of mines are Seicross for the NES. A terrible game but great memories.
Pro Wrestling is my favourite! I never knew that Kin Corn Karn's kicks and punches did more damage, to the effect that you can perform the Brain Buster or Pile Driver earlier! I never really used him because I found the timing of those punches and kicks to be clunky (same with Fighter Hayabusa's Back Brain Kick). King Slender was my guy because I liked his move set most! I also beat the game with Giant Panther first. I like how each character has some unique moves, even if they replace others like the Back Drop or Pile Driver.
Yeah Kin Corn Karn was often over looked. That is pretty impressive to beat great Puma with Giant Panther. Good job. The variety of moves for that game was amazing.
@@Skorpio420 Mastering the BBB in a "versus your (soon to be former) friend) 2P match was peak controller-throwing rage-bait in the early NES days. It's almost as good as sneakily plugging in the 2p controller and moving the ducks in Duck Hunt.
WCW was my favorite wrestling game on the NES. I'm surprised you didn't go over their finishers! To pull their finishers off, wear your opponent down, and get him to drop to one knee in middle of the ring, then press both a and b buttons at the same time. If done correctly, the screen will flash, and the move will be pulled off.
@ Heh. Starman is a song by David Bowie. I grew up playing Pro Wrestling and I think Starman is the best. So I kind of combined the two things. I’m sorry… It’s more boring than you hoped for :(
Tecmo Pro Wrestling had a lot of Wrestlers inspired by real-life Wrestlers. Akira Dragon was Antonio Inoki El Tigre was Tiger Mask Boris Chekov was Stan Hansen Pat Gordon looked a bit like Lou Thesz
Muscle was amazing. Thank you for not trashing it like so many people do. I love those little guys. 8 distinct characters and what about the electric ring?
I stopped on this video on the ice ring where you would kind slide around the ring. MUSCLE was definitely underrated in my opinion but then again we might be 2 of the few that actually liked this version of the game..lol.
I grew up to wrestlemania the game on nes . As a 7yr old living the time of the 80s this was enough for us. Keep in mind video games were not at its peak so we were not expecting much . So it depends how old you are cause if you are 30 or younger then of course you will see it different than i would. Age matters
That is true, what mad it hard for me was because my expectations were set so high with the WWF Superstars in the arcade plus having played pro wrestling and knowing what the NES was capable of.
I actually really liked Wrestlemania Challenge. Tag Team Wrestling and MUSCLE above it? Now that's a hot take! I love Tecmo World Wrestling. Definitely the best, nice to see someone giving it attention.
I'm glad you are giving Wrestlemania Challenge some love. It wasn't my cup but that's the beauty of being a gamer, we all can love different games. Thank you for repping Wrestlemania Challenge.
@@RudetunasArcade For sure. I still argue with my friends over which modern WWE games are the best. I think with Challenge I liked the roster and the slightly expanded movesets. Hated the isometric angle though!
I do, respectfully, disagree about wrestlemania challenge. Once you got the hang of the controls, its a lot of fun, at least considerably more than several on the list. Having a survivor series bout actually added some variety, and I appreciate that the whole ring and outside was accessible. I see that I am not alone in this opinion.
That's fair. Thank you for sharing and showing love for WrestleMania Challenge. That is how i felt about MUSCLE even though most people hate that game..lol
I rank Pro Wrestling over TECMO because it keeps me on my toes; it's about timing and variation, whereas TECMO is more about button mashing. And as I get older, I have less and less interest in mashing. But yeah, it's between those two.
I loved tag team wrestling i got real good after each victoty i had a huge trophy to show progress but eventually you cant really beat the wrestlers in the ring so you had to get them outside and time it just right for the countout victory.
Wrestlemania challenge is a good wwf game. It was developed by rare. LJN didn’t make any games it was just a way for acclaim to get around Nintendo’s development rules. I would probably put Challenge 3rd behind Tecmo 1 and Pro Wrestling 2. I loved the WCW game too probably put it 4 mostly because I had to use the nes advantage to beat it. Ok ok so I had to use the advantage to beat tecmo too 😂!
I am glad you actually enjoyed the WWF wrestling games for the NES. They were not my cup but that doesn't mean they did not appeal to other gamers like yourself. I think it is cool that you are showing love for the WWF games. LOL..the NES advantage was super cool. I actually bought one at a resell shop a few years back.
Innocence was lost when i thought wwf wrestlemania was the best ever..then walking on the streets of far rockaway queens there was this pizzeria with the wwf superstars arcade machine..it blew my mind and i felt ripped off..wondering why cant i have THAT at home..also..tecmo wrestling i could only win if i had a controller with turbon button functions..
Yeah I agree, WWF Superstars did set a high bar for a wrestling game. As far as Tecmo Wrestling goes, do what you gotta do. Lots of kids had the NES advantage turbo controller. I still got mine..lol
Can't argue with all the WWF games being at the bottom, though I'd put Tag Team Wrestling down there as well. Think you gave King of the Ring way more credit than it deserves though. It was released really late in the NES lifespan title & it looks worse than all the WWF games outside of Wrestlemania. Sure the characters are large but they lack definition with wrestlers like Yokozuna, Undertaker & Bam Bam Bigelow have much the same body shapes as the other wrestlers. The move set considering all the games before it is incredibly limited & also matches go on for way too long. The novelty of stomping the opponent down to zero health wears off really quickly. Then just to add more of Mr. Fuji's salt to the wound, you have to go through the slowest 3 count ever to prolong the match even more. I may have too much nostalgia for Steel Cage challenge but at least it tried (& mostly failed) to provide something new with the Steel Cage Match. King of the Ring provides a King of the Ring mode & a tournament mode which are the exact same match type just one provides you an end screen being crowned the King of the Ring. By 1992 companies were pushing the limits of what the NES hardware could do but by 1993, King of the Ring looks, controls & plays like an early NES title from a company who is just starting out making video games. LJN only published the game but they definitely just took the bag like Tyson & Jake Paul in their boxing match. Wrestlemania Challenge is at best passable but it is the best of the NES bunch & to me it's not even close. The wrestlers are most detailed in Challenge compared to the other WWF NES games with the more cartoony art style. Plus there are finishers! You kept doing Duggan's 3 point stance throughout. Rick Rude does look like Popeye for sure but seeing Popeye give people the Rude Awakening makes up for it. Your video is great & your commentary is spot on. I had King of the Ring for the Gameboy & I didn't know there was an NES version until much later but considering the limitations of each hardware respectively, the Gameboy version offers nearly an identical experience outside of a few less wrestlers & no chipset grunts that the NES was capable of.

Thank you for sharing your insight on these games and thank you for watching.
Did you say the SNES wrestling games were god awful? Congrats, you've now lost any credibility you had. Those games set the template of the grapple system we still use to this day. Not only that, but Royal Rumble and RAW were outstanding titles.
Well you are entitled to your opinion. But sorry SNES WWF Raw and Royal Rumble sucked. And they certainly DID NOT set the template we use today. Most wrestling games today use the timing grappling and reversal system instead of the "mashing" grappling system used the 2 games you mentioned.

Yea, the WWF(wwe) games weren't so great on the platform. They ranged from bad to average at best. MUSCLE and Team Team Wrestling were ok. Pro Wrestling was iconic for sure. The producer of that game, Masato Masuda, went on to create the famous Fire Pro Wrestling game series. Sadly he is no longer with us now. The WCW game was a reskin of the Famicom game, Super Star Pro Wrestling. Tecmo World Wrestling is indeed the better wrestling game for the system.
@RudetunasArcade Yeah Nintendo of America had this rule that 3rd party publishers can only release 5 a year so Acclaim made their toy branch into a second publisher to release their B-list. Konami also did this same trick with Ultra as a dummy corp.
using turbo for ower... nahh your telling the story of the steroid scandle that rocked the wwf at the time etc etc etc and with wrestling.... its all cool
You gave the wrong information. LJN didn't actually program or develop any games, LJN was a toy and video game publisher. For example WrestleMania for NES was actually programed by RARE and developed by Acclaim Software. RARE developed some of the best video games in the 90s.

The hard-core old school fans know who Howard Finkle is but in all fairness, him and Mean Gene do kind of look alike in the game 😂

I'd put WrestleMania Challenge higher up on the list. At worst, it's the best WWF game on the NES
yeah thats what i think. Better than WrestleMania, Steel Cage Challenge and King of the Ring
Wrestlemania Challenge was a fun game. I remember interfering so much the ring bell would just ring non-stop incessantly.
