The first N64 Wrestling game with the WWF licence, containing classic wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Triple H and Star Trek: Voyager star “The Rock”. It also featured a decent create-a-wrestler mode (although, oddly, the female options need to be unlocked), and even an unlockable Turok. It was a good selection for fans of WWF at the time due to having big names, even if it lacked in terms of quantity.

The game itself is decent, although quite dated – WWF No Mercy set the standard for N64 games later on. While there are different modes, the fighting itself doesn’t feel particularly different and the simpler moves work just as well the ones that are a faff to perform, so it’s easy to get into the habit of just doing the same thing over and over.

I definitely believe that this was pretty significant when it came out, especially due to some of the wrestlers in the game and the fun create-a-wrestler, but all aspects have been improved upon in later games.

Fine

This is the best looking of the N64 wrestlers so far. By a country mile, in fact. Warzone’s pin-sharp visuals put a deadly sleeper hold on WNC vs NCO, and leap on Tokon Road’s prostate body from the turnbuckle. Acclaims soft skinning technique makes the wrestlers look authentically fat and chunky and the 640×480 hi-res mode brings a touch of realism to the bone-crunching moves and the characters’ ugly faces.
