Favorite Wrestling game of all time?

I know that the overwhelming majority of this thread will reply WWF No Mercy, but hopefully we can get some other games thrown out there as well. I'm really looking to start playing some games while I'm on the road. I've been on a HUGE early 90's WCW kick lately, but can't really find anything that's been able to satisfy the game craving.

I'd love to be able to play a game that I can relive some of the greatest matches of late NWA/early WCW. Sting vs Muta/Vader/etc.

With that said, comment and see where your favorite ranks amongst other OS'ers.

Smackdown 2: Know Your Role

I primarily played wrestling games in a multiplayer setting, and KYR had the best setup for this, IMO. Game played tight (if simple in retrospect), had a robust create-a-wrestler feature, a functional and persistent multiplayer season mode, and a great roster.

Runner-up would be either Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain and Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth; I liked the storyline in SYM's singleplayer campaign, but IIRC HCTP had a better roster.

I personally did not enjoy No Mercy and the other the AKI wrestling games whatsoever, I didn't have a favorable opinion of the graphics or controls (though admittedly I maintain that the Nintendo 64 controller is arguably the worst I've ever tried to use; that could be a factor)

Re: Favorite Wrestling game of all time?

I actually prefered Wrestlemaina 2000 over No Mercy. I had one of the copies of No Mercy with the erase all data bug which factors into my decision.

Aside from the 3 AKI WCW games, I'm not sure if a good or even decent WCW game exists.

The early Smackdown games were fun but I always hated how quick the recovery times were after big moves or falling of the HIAC.

Re: Favorite Wrestling game of all time?

In my opinion, nothing tops No Mercy. I'd put WCW/NWO Revenge behind it, followed by Wrestlemania.

However, I always did love WWF Raw for the Sega Genesis.

WCW/nWo Revenge on N64 was my favorite ever.

Re: Favorite Wrestling game of all time?

Virtual Pro Wrestling 2, not only did it have wrestlers from New Japan and All Japan but it also had MMA fighters (i.e PRIDE, BattleArts, etc.) You can even fight MMA rules in the game. It also a cool combo system that lets you mix kicks and punches.
