no mercy was the best one for n64 nothing else came close.
for ps1 it was smack down 2
for ps2 here comes the pain, just bring it, and shut your mouth are the best.
They didnāt sell nearly as many copies since the GameCube had the least amount of units sold out of that generation but the graphics were supreme. It was like no mercy on steroids.
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2. 2 has No Mercy gameplay but I think I prefer the roster on 1. What other game had Terry Funk, Vader, Liger, The Steiners, Beuiser Brody, and The Great Muta? Okay I'll accept Fire Pro but that is more a match simulator than a wrestling game IMO.
I own the entire library. Virtual Pro wasn't released in the United States. It is the better game. I don't need to hear untruths. Thanks.
Also, *Must've. Must of doesn't make sense. I guess you never spoke English either š¤£
My wrong? Oh. You meant *You're. I own a house worth more than your entire life. You sure showed me with your ridiculous comment.
If it was a prototype, why did No Mercy have fewer CAW options, a worse logic system, unable to edit masks, etc.
All you did is call me names. Nothing about what you said says those games are better. Perhaps you are the one who should be quiet as you are either literally a young child or just dense. š¤·āāļø
My parents donated all my games and now I'm rebuying everything lol
I mean, it's not their fault. I never would have thought that as an adult I'd want to play on a crt with older systems lol
lol... yup
Thinking about getting a Mister but after USD to CAD conversion, shipping and import duties/cutoms, it's about $1,200 CAD from misteraddons. Not sure it's the right route for me
I remember walking to Toys 'r' us with my mom and my sister to buy no mercy,we had no car at the time and it was like a 40 minute walk but I got the game š
No Mercy must be one of my favorite wrestling games ever, got it at a sale once when I was little and LOVED IT! The customization, the quality, the stories, just incredible
No Mercy is still the greatest wrestling game ever made.
WCW vs NWO is only good for the nostalgia. I mean, it plays ok but No Mercy is better in every way.
Uhhh those weren't published by THQ, I think you meant AKI Corp since they made the N64 THQ wrestling games.Ā
I thought you were going to say Here Comes the Pain š¤£.Ā
but you could make custom characters of all those wrestlers as I'm pretty sure most of their gear was available. That's what I did for wrestlers not on the roster.
VPW had a deeper CAW as well. You could edit masks, adjust cpu logic like if you wanted to make someone use more submissions or never use the top rope you could do that. It's a much deeper game. Japanese games in general are typically more advanced than American games and it was double true back then.
N64. It's literally a part of the same series that brought the North American games. Most people incorrectly say there were 4 games mentioning the 2 WCW and 2 WWF games because VPW was released in Asia and Europe but not North America, although if you know a store that deals with Japanese Imports you can luck out. I was able to find both in person, the 1st I thought was gonna be World Tour with a different cover but it ended up blowing me away. The sequel took me years to find but I'm sure they're easier to track down on ebay or what have you.

First one had the best roster I've ever seen in a video game but it was released in 96, so the graphics aren't nearly as good as the sequel that came 3 years later
Maybe you could find gear that kinda looks like Ligers, but you can't make an exact Liger with the same taunts he actually uses. Trust me, I've tried lol. The American games like No Mercy excluded a unique strike combo system, CPH logic adjustment, the ability to edit masks, and all these editing features. I forget if it had Japanese moves like the Orange Crush Bomb but only Kobashi was using it back then, so probably not. You could play as the Godfathers Ho, so there's that. š¤£ No Mercy is the best North American wrestling game most but they took out some features in the U.S. versions for some reason. They did add Cage Matches though which are super rare in Japan. They're similar but still so different.
I get roster is a big reason for you.... But I'm not sure how VPW64 is better than No Mercy. Gameplay and graphics wise it's just a Japanese skin of World Tour.Ā
The only reason why you'd chose it over no mercy is purely for the roster. And not everyone is into Japanese wrestling.
The 1st one was. The 2nd is basically No Mercy with a better roster and more moves. If you don't like Japnese wrestling that's your problem. Anybody who has played all the THQ games will tell you the same thing I am.
For one, VPW had striking combos and MMA fighters. I don't recall if No Mercy had the striking combos that can be reversed into a grapple but I know World Tour didn't.
Better logic system. Better CAW features. You can edit masks. It's just a better game to anyone who has spent time with it. Not to say No Mercy isn't good.
Check whether your No Mercy is the version with the save bug. Itās a heartbreaker when you lose your save out of nowhere. I made sure I got the ā-1ā revision when I bought mine but Iām in PAL region so unsure if itās different for NTSC
Eric bischoff is a god in wcw/nwo revenge. Iām pretty sure he canāt be grappled if you hold a certain button. Like impossible to grapple him. (Itās been 20+ years since I played so correct me if Iām wrong)
Iāve got no mercy on my laptop. I still play from time to time. Still my favorite wrestling game of all time. Revenge is another great one, just doesnāt have the storylines like no mercy.
I have such fond memories of No mercy. In my mind itās the greatest wrestling game of all time. I donāt think Iād ever go back and replay it simply because I donāt want to ruin that memory.
this is an awesome game and one that i played crap out of as a kid.
keep in mind, with all the unlockable wrestlers and the create a character your save will be important if you plan on putting some time into it. this is one of the 12 US games that used a battery backed SRAM. in other words it has a save battery and you might want to consider giving it a fresh one before you start.
Siblings broke controllers over Revenge, itās that good. You think you took them out but then they ripped your legs out from under the ropes and you spend next hr beating the shit out of them with a chair, or perhaps a trophy? Youāre both out so it doesnāt matter but it feels so good to get them bleeding. Iāve been in matches lasting multiple hrs.
I hear you. I like VPW more than No Mercy for the roster. It plays like No Mercy, but you can do Terry Funk vs. Vader without making them yourself, lol
No just no. These are like baseball - a niche. A very rare niche. I can look it up (old man googles everything) but are there any wrestling titles on the next gen?
If this is your cup of tea though cool. Side note - they will be worth money in the future - rich people seem to have plenty of money for rare weird games like this.....downvote me know. Lol
āAre there any wrestling titles on the next gen?ā
Ermā¦yes. Plenty of them. Thereās literally an entire book available about wrestling video games (āWrestling With Pixelsā).
Lol I get wrestling isn't you're thing. But you really shouldn't talk from complete ignorance. While wrestling popularity wise was peaking here, the games were getting bigger and bigger into the early 2000s. There were exclusive wwe games for each system in that generation.Ā
Dig dig dig dig. Diggity dog.

I still play No Mercy to this day
no mercy was the best one for n64 nothing else came close. for ps1 it was smack down 2 for ps2 here comes the pain, just bring it, and shut your mouth are the best.
Letās not forget how underrated WWE Day of Reckoning 1 & 2 are. Even Mania 18/19 were fun for the time.
I did not get to play those.
They didnāt sell nearly as many copies since the GameCube had the least amount of units sold out of that generation but the graphics were supreme. It was like no mercy on steroids.
Itās been a few years since I played the āForever Indyā mod but this game is still my favourite wrestling game of all time.
Virtual pro wrestling 2 on n64 is even better than no mercy
Yeah but, I made all the Japanese wrestlers available on the SD mall, so I get to enjoy VPW2 talent against the WWE roster
Same!
Great start! Now, you need Wrestlemania 2000 to complete the holy trinity.
This!
You forgot the best games in the series
World Tour?
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2. 2 has No Mercy gameplay but I think I prefer the roster on 1. What other game had Terry Funk, Vader, Liger, The Steiners, Beuiser Brody, and The Great Muta? Okay I'll accept Fire Pro but that is more a match simulator than a wrestling game IMO.
Revenge was the best game but lordy I loved me some world tour.
Virtual Pro Wrestling 2.
You know this guy's OG when he knows what I referenced right away š Bravo
These 2 are the best in the series
Virtual Pro bro, hands down
Incorrect
Itās a known thing and you would be out numbered by 100/1 but you are entitled to your own opinion. You just must of never played them
I own the entire library. Virtual Pro wasn't released in the United States. It is the better game. I don't need to hear untruths. Thanks. Also, *Must've. Must of doesn't make sense. I guess you never spoke English either š¤£

Are you mentally retarded? If so, I'm sorry. If not? Please get an education.
You're calling me little boy? You're in a fucking PokƩmon group you fucking nerd. Also you can't tell "You're" from "Your" because of an obvious mental impairment. Good luck in life. It sounds like you'll need it.
WCW/nWo Revenge is top notch
Is this the game where when two wrestlers run at eachother off the rope they do some kind of neck thing? If so, I loved this game!
Yes, it is.
My fave wrestling game from when I was a kid
Same! I still have my original copy.
My parents donated all my games and now I'm rebuying everything lol I mean, it's not their fault. I never would have thought that as an adult I'd want to play on a crt with older systems lol
Nostalgia is a hell of a thing! š

No Mercy is one of the best wrestling games ever
No Mercy must be one of my favorite wrestling games ever, got it at a sale once when I was little and LOVED IT! The customization, the quality, the stories, just incredible
I think they're almost as good as Virtual Pro Wrestling
This guy knows
Love No Mercy
No Mercy is still the greatest wrestling game ever made. WCW vs NWO is only good for the nostalgia. I mean, it plays ok but No Mercy is better in every way.
I liked the WCW games more because of the luchador/acrobatic wrestlers. They were never the strongest, but they were the most fun to play for me.
It's not even the best THQ wrestling game. But it's probably #3.
please tell me which ones you think are better and why.
Virtual Pro 1 & 2. Bigger & better roster. No Mercy didn't have Vader, Terry Funk, or Tiger Mask and that's reason enough for me.
Uhhh those weren't published by THQ, I think you meant AKI Corp since they made the N64 THQ wrestling games.Ā I thought you were going to say Here Comes the Pain š¤£.Ā
You can't edit masks in any of the American THQ/AKI games. The logic system is also exclusive to VPW2.
but you could make custom characters of all those wrestlers as I'm pretty sure most of their gear was available. That's what I did for wrestlers not on the roster.
VPW had a deeper CAW as well. You could edit masks, adjust cpu logic like if you wanted to make someone use more submissions or never use the top rope you could do that. It's a much deeper game. Japanese games in general are typically more advanced than American games and it was double true back then.
well seeing as how I've never heard of VPW, what system was it on? Was it readily available or an import only kind of deal?
N64. It's literally a part of the same series that brought the North American games. Most people incorrectly say there were 4 games mentioning the 2 WCW and 2 WWF games because VPW was released in Asia and Europe but not North America, although if you know a store that deals with Japanese Imports you can luck out.

No it's best
Clearly you never played VPW 1 & 2.

S tier games
Check whether your No Mercy is the version with the save bug. Itās a heartbreaker when you lose your save out of nowhere. I made sure I got the ā-1ā revision when I bought mine but Iām in PAL region so unsure if itās different for NTSC
You bought two good games.
Oh those games were amazing. World tour was the main one I played. Unlimited fun.
Great gets. I still play both to this day.
Best wrestling games of all time , no question
I had so much fun playing them. No mercy is amazing.
Can play these for hours
Great wrestling games.
Peak of gaming
Used to play the hell out of no mercy!!!
Love the exchange!
Banging
Two of the best wrestling games ever
Two of the very best wrestling games ever made. No Mercy is my favourite.
If you like Japanese Wrestling track down Virtual Pro wrestling. Even if you don't. It has TERRY FUNK!
Both of those games are N64 classics!! Great choices. Someone mentioned Wrestlemania 2000 and they are absolutely right!!
Eric bischoff is a god in wcw/nwo revenge. Iām pretty sure he canāt be grappled if you hold a certain button. Like impossible to grapple him. (Itās been 20+ years since I played so correct me if Iām wrong)
Iām jealous. So many damn good memories playing wcw/nwo.
A good weekend for it
I spent many a weekend playing WcW NWO revenge. What a flashback.
Iāve got no mercy on my laptop. I still play from time to time. Still my favorite wrestling game of all time. Revenge is another great one, just doesnāt have the storylines like no mercy.
Have a good day
Heard no mercy is one of the best wrestling games of all time, never played it though!
I like both of them.
No mercy is a top 10. Get some friends over and tap that game big time
I have such fond memories of No mercy. In my mind itās the greatest wrestling game of all time. I donāt think Iād ever go back and replay it simply because I donāt want to ruin that memory.
No Mercy, I miss playing that or rather the moment I played it, my worries were simpler... the world was simpler. Saturday, friends and play.
No mercy had a solid campaign for each character.
this is an awesome game and one that i played crap out of as a kid. keep in mind, with all the unlockable wrestlers and the create a character your save will be important if you plan on putting some time into it. this is one of the 12 US games that used a battery backed SRAM. in other words it has a save battery and you might want to consider giving it a fresh one before you start.
Loved both. I really want to get into collecting cartridges for a console but I canāt decide between N64 & GBA.
Man so many hours dumped in Revenge. I think we made a Royal Rumble worth of custom guys.
Use Scott Norton. That haymaker punch was epic! š¤£āšæ
Two best wrestling games of ALL-TIME
Wrestlemania 2000 is my favorite
Classic games.
Played these games to the moon and back, loved WCW Revenge but hated the WCW on T.V. Was a WWF guyā¦.. can you dig that sucka
Still the best wrestling games ever IMO.
The best
Siblings broke controllers over Revenge, itās that good. You think you took them out but then they ripped your legs out from under the ropes and you spend next hr beating the shit out of them with a chair, or perhaps a trophy? Youāre both out so it doesnāt matter but it feels so good to get them bleeding. Iāve been in matches lasting multiple hrs.
Good games but pretty much No Mercy makes the other redundant
I think you should give them to me
Two of the best wrestling games ever!
Revenge was a cool game
No mercy one of the best wrestling games of all time probably
Perfect timing right after wrestlemania
No mercy š„š„š„
I have those 2 games and are still awesome to play
Great additions. But please stop giving the exchange any business. They're stupidly overpriced
Revenge is goated
A ton of nostalgia for Revenge, wasnāt a huge wrestling fan but that game was given to me with my first N64. Sting FTW. Great pick ups.
WCW vs The World was basic, but I loved this. These games take me back.
I also wanted to share this on the r/SquaredCircle subreddit but I'm still banned from there.
Lol why?
I don't know. They didn't clarify.
One step above sports games. (That's the bottom)
I always thought the WCW/NWO were the better wrestling games. Never like the WWF games
I hear you. I like VPW more than No Mercy for the roster. It plays like No Mercy, but you can do Terry Funk vs. Vader without making them yourself, lol
Was literally the same except was wwf not wcw and they added more features , was made by the exact same people.
Oh. Maybe im thinking of a different wwf one. I remember one and it looked like shit when playing. Mighta been for the PlayStation.
Smack down was the ps1/2 series
That musta been it. Not a fan. lol
I live no mercy top tier childhood favorite! I just hope you donāt have the bugged copy that randomly erases your data lol
$4 well spent
No just no. These are like baseball - a niche. A very rare niche. I can look it up (old man googles everything) but are there any wrestling titles on the next gen? If this is your cup of tea though cool. Side note - they will be worth money in the future - rich people seem to have plenty of money for rare weird games like this.....downvote me know. Lol
You must be a born in the 2000s. Wrestling games were so much fun to play with friends back in the day
What are you even trying to say?
You suck ass
Revenge was actually one of the best selling games for the N64, I'm talking total library not wrestling games.
Google the reviews then, old man. Theyāre good games
āAre there any wrestling titles on the next gen?ā Ermā¦yes. Plenty of them. Thereās literally an entire book available about wrestling video games (āWrestling With Pixelsā).

Those are certainly games, if Iāve ever seen one.
