Its to the point that if they posted NM to ps5 remastered the look but kept eveything else as it was. And maybe add an option to port music and videos there wouldn't need to be any new wreslting game. You could literally create everyone that exists today. And since most reuse moves from the past anyway.
Yep No Mercy just does it for me. Its truly astounding what they did. You can do tons of things in no mercy you still cant do in games now.. And what did Nintendo make those cartridges out of?! I feel like them things could survive a nuclear blast! Lol.. Oh and we dont care about hctp! Thats why we are here and not on a vid about hctp! I played hctp multiple times. Loved the start menu, loved the music, loved the graphics. But it just doesnt hit the way No Mercy does. I have no desire to go back and play hctp...
Smackdown 1 bugged me as a 10 year old, the logo's on the mats, the arena's not being quite right and only being able to go back stage on the raw is war arena, no tag team moves. it felt quite limited. Smackdown 2 I loved, the small details like seeing the announce tables and putting people through them, being able to throw people off the stage, the raw and smackdown arena being SPOT ON and the amount of added match types and expanded roster. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
In WWF No Mercy you could grab weapons from the edge of the stage and from behind the sand bags in the Armageddon stage. In the locker room you could grab weapons from the lockers. You could throw snowballs in winter months in season in Just Bring It, IIRC.
It’s a joke the only way to get Brock Lesner is through community creations and the created version doesn’t even look like him because some 8 year old living with his mommy and daddy isn’t capable of creating anything identical and the music and entrance was some generic entrance. It’s lame to have not added Brock he had nothing to do with the Vince controversy at least if these 8 year old marks sitting in mommy’s basement could have put Brock Lesner’s actual music and entrance when they created their character.
Two things that makes me unable to go back to 22 and 2k23 are the fixed tag team matches and the argue with the referee feature that looks simple but is awesome!
On WWF No Mercy, I loved making *all* of D-X champions! HBK : World Champ, HHH : I-C Champ, X-Pac : European Champ, Chyna : Hardcore Champ, Tori : Light Heavyweight Champ, Steph : Women's Champ, & the New Age Outlaws : Tag Champs.
Totally agree with the no editing boundaries part, I bought 2k18 when it was newly out after years of not buying wrestling games since svr 2008, so disappointing I couldn’t take an active roster guy with an outdated attire and try to modernise it at the time, and we’re at point of 2k24 and still not available to do to this day! Yet WEF No Mercy you can modernise 2000 era Triple H and make him look like how he last wrestled over 20 years later! Crazy that old is still gold!
Does anyone have the Chris Benoit cheat code for 08? It seems they went out of their way to try and remove evidence of it but I remember using it years ago
