Bidness Gaming: WWE wrestling games went through several transitions, but in the end we saw it all end in a count-out!
The best wrestling games range from all-time classics on the N64 all the way up to some surprising new hitters you should check out.
I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).
Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.
Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.
WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.
also: ECW! ECW! ECW!
Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.
Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.
I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.
I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games
Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge
Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.
James writes - "The good faith of wrestling fans is diminishing rapidly and five years after the mediocrity found in WWE 2K15, it doesn’t seem like 2K have learnt anything. The time for change is now."
Piss on these games, I have more hope of AEW putting out a quality produced game. This product will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, even if his dufus son-in-law takes over.
Thq and AKI stopped making the games. The N64 games were the best
I'll tell you where they went right. WWE All-Stars freakin' rules.
You can obviously tell they got lazy.
IMO the story aspects became the worst. the universe mode isn't as good as the GM mode(imo)
commentary is really bad
enemy ai isn't good neither is hit detection
instead of putting effort into single player story all we have gotten are past glory moments. i mean we are basically watching replays of old matches
i am surprised we didn't get a true wwe vs wcw game
the one wwe game few years ago with wcw story line was good(i had fun with story mode atleast)
here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning
no mercy
are some of the best wwe wrestling games
