WCW / nWo Revenge

[Deleted]

Just played this game for the first time in... Daaaaamn who even knows at this point, probably bare minimum fifteen years.

Still awesome, totally going to take Maya Inca Boy to the championship later. Although I think I got some memories mixed up with something or other - maybe Mayhem or one of the PS1 games? - in thinking it had commentary. Can clearly recall Schiavone constantly yelling, "Swing and a miss with the weapon!"

[David-Arquette was in WCW 2000]

Yeah Mayhem is the one. Awesome for it's time and still sounds better than current in game commentary. Revenge is a great game. Really captures the feel of WCW.

I think it holds up better than No Mercy. The overall presentation is cleaner, and there is never any slowdown in the game like you get in some match types on No Mercy.


VPW2 is the best version of these games though, bar none.

Legends.

Such a legendary game. Nothing will ever come close to those 4 THQ games on the N64. I dread to think of the hours I put into those.

I remember having some epic Goldberg/Benoit KO only matches with my brother. So happy that I begged my mom for an N64.

We used to stay up all night playing Revenge. I was always either Scott Steiner or Raven.

Revenge and Smackdown 2 are what got a friend of mine into wrestling.

Surprisingly awesome movesets and a lot of fun to use: Sick Boy and Dake Ken

[Psicofreak667]

Used to fight with my friends over I didn't think anyone should be allowed to play as Chris Benoit or Scott Steiner because you couldn't break up the Steiner Recliner or Crippler Crossface, the breakup stomp just went through it.

Used to piss off one of those same friends because he was a total Goldberg fanboy, but since the counter to the Spear was a guillotine choke and submissions were a bit overpowered in that game, I was always beating Goldberg via guillotine choke, with people who never used the guillotine choke. He'd get mad because it was doubly unrealistic for Psychosis/Mortis/Hammer/Brickowski/whoever to use a guillotine choke and for Goldberg to tap to anything.

[Limity (BLM)]

That was such a great time for wrestling games. I have such fond memories of even getting WCW Nitro on PS1 and managing to have some fun with it.

To this day, I'm bummed I never got to play WCW Mayhem.

It's often debated if the Attitude era did some kind of long term damage to wrestling. But all I know is I'm so glad I was in high school during the Monday night wars and the Attitude era. No time quite like it.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Who here accidentally smacked Kimberly and then got punched in the balls?

Also Goldberg’s moveset sucked. The f***ing striking bar was awful.

I liked little things in Revenge, like La Parka coming down with a chair, and if you won the title with Hogan you got an ending where he sprayed nWo on it... and then had the title with nWo on it when you selected him! I can live with the worse aspects if it means I can hit a Diamond Cutter on Disco Inferno at Halloween Havoc. Followed by endless rentals of WrestleMania 2000. Those games were my Mario 64 growing up.

One of my favorite things to do in this game is pit Savage and DDP against each other and plug the controller into the player 3 slot so I can control Elizabeth, then go to the other side of the ring and beat the crap out of Kimberly while the match is going on.

Also, Alex Wright is really, really annoying to fight. I’ve taken to going for the Cruiserweight Championship with him so I don’t have to face him before.

I still play them pretty regularly. I have Revenge, No Mercy and WM2K. Every now and then I’ll go on like a week long binge with those games

I had a group of friends that we played this all the time so many weekends spent playing this game and I had a friend who didn’t play videogames at all but he loved WCW and wanted to give it a shot seeing everyone spoke so glowingly about It so one day after school he came over we did a battle royal he picked sting so he starts the match with a bat the bell rings he pushes the wrong button the bat falls to the mat and disappears(just like it would in real-life) he saw us doing all kinds of moves and he couldn’t figure out how to do anything so we were telling him what to hit but he kept hitting the wrong buttons and he was getting very angry so we did a 3 on 1 style gang attack eliminating him to de escalate the situation he got up threw the controller screamed a naughty word very loudly while looking to the heavens punched the wall breaking his hand and he never came over again.Good Times!!!

When Sting enters a battle royal by dropping from the ceiling, wish they'd found a way to keep that bit in later games.

I loved the roster depth for the fact you could have big money matches like Hogan vs. Piper or Saturday night matches like Barbarian vs. Anvil.

When it came out there were two things I could not figure about this game.

1. Why Bret looked awful and did not have wrist tape or elbow pads?

2. How did the Disiple didn't make the roster despite being in the manual? I kept expecting him to come out via Gameshark or unearthed cheat.
