Arcade Longplay [351] WWF Superstars 

***** Thanks man ....and i will check out your Amazon reviews.

I totally agree; there was and never will be anything like them again. Dark, smoky, musty arcades, with beer company mirrors and tattered posters adorning the walls. Sure, there were also clean, neon-bright, well-run ones in bigger cities, but my town mostly had the sketchy, disreputable kind...and the "dangerous" atmosphere added to the excitement...with weird, rare knockoff Japanese games you'll never see again except in vague memories, and broken pre-video electro-mechanical oddities in the back with the washrooms. And games galore! Filled with video games, pool tables, and pinball machines, all stained, cigarette-burned, with quarters lined up to reserve spots on the most popular ones. A past-its-prime 45rpm-playing Rock-Ola jukebox with great old and newer songs. And the regulars - long-haired nutters with whiffs of BO and pot reeking from their jean jackets and lumberjack fleece shirts, decorated with heavy metal iron-on badges. Girls with poofy bleached 'dos, crop-tops, those pinstriped jeans with full back-to-front zippers, and chunky or spike heels. Now that I'm grown and nearing 50, I wonder if I'd still feel at ease and enjoy the fun and noise of those seedy establishments if they were to suddenly re-appear in my old stomping grounds, or if I'd prefer to find a quiet coffee shop with WiFi, and my phone playing Strikefleet Omega...

Sean Wilkinson the good old days

and the feelings when ur parents bought u a first console for u NES or sega

you better believe it !

Always thought the same

Maybe arcade 1 up could do something?

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 be fucking class with modern wrestlers and then classic ones too.

As far as i'm, aware the rights holder can't rerelease the game without renewing their WWE license which would make it financially not viable. But if wwe was clever they would look into getting the rights to all the WWF games released up to like 2000 (arcade, pc,, consoles, everything) and put them into every WWE 2k game from now on. Might be more complicated, and costly, than it seems though, IDK. B

@@milkcarton6654 great info very interesting. Be great if wwe could I agree would sell out in no time!

CHUR BRO....I WAS ALWAYS SAVAGE BOSSMAN OR WARRIOR

I loved the Honky tonk man

hogan and warrior or hogan and macho man

@@lordgoro But they didn't give him his shake rattle and roll move

@@josephdunn5887 Warrior's gorilla press was the ultimate rubbing it in to your opponent. Hogan's poses too. I forget if Savage could come off the top rope with his big elbow 🤔

There's an arcade in the town I live in... Marcade in Rockaway (Edit NOT DOVER), NJ... love it.

@@JoeyMartz How many kids go to it. In my day we use to go to boxing, football and cycled all over the place and went to the arcades. There is not that many arcades around today. I blame my generation for raising kids from a helicopter.

@@bighands69 A lot of kids go... HOWEVER, they have a wall dedicated to all the current generation consoles with comfy leather couches.... Having said that, the rest of the space is of ALL THE VINTAGE 80's - 00's COIN OPERATED GAMES & PIN BALL MACHINES. Good times!

@@JoeyMartz What made arcades special back in the 1970s,1980s and 1990s was the fact the machines were far more advanced than the home variants. So the game that was in the arcade was cutting edge and the game that was played at home was considered inferior. So arcades need to innovate and do things that home systems cannot do.

There’s allot of Dave Busters type places open today. They are pretty cool, but it isn’t the same.. The arcade use to be a place where future technology and games, were on display. There isn’t much in the arcade these days, that the home systems can’t match

Big boss man is coco savage of Superstar.

So you would out this above wrestlefest? If so, why?

@@Gameboy-Unboxings This game is very nostalgic for me. As a kid I have such fond memories playing this game. For me I preferred the game sprites in superstars and the game mechanics also. And just how the game is presented visually more appealing appearance wise. But obviously it’s just my personal opinion I don’t expect everyone to agree.

Same here

@@LittleJacob208 well one thing this has over Wrestlefest for sure.....you get to see Miss Elizabeth at the end

I second that…. And Mat Mania.

Ditto with LOD in Wrestlefest

@Baba Yaga Yet it's still a good villain voice.

TheDragonEpyon yes they went with Steve Urkle's voice.

Have you heard Hawk's voice in WrestleFest? It's even worse

😂😂😂

@nemo pouncey 😂😂

😂👍👍💫🕹🕹💥

STEJTHEGREATEST They went with the biggest heels of 1988...

@@fivebearrugs I'm clueless how anyone could think the Honky Tonk Man was a bigger heel than Rick Rude.

@nemo pouncey He was also in WWF WrestleMania Challenge (1990) for the NES with Hulk, Warrior, Andre, Savage, Boss Man, Duggan, Beefcake, and “Yourself”

The Shake Rattle and Roll looks more like the Rude Awakening in this....almost like HTM was originally Rude.

'cuz the damage Andre could do if you could pull of his move - i think 🤔

Finn Maccool And he didn’t get that theme until 1990!

Same company made it

WARRIOR....😐

Boss Man goes so cheap on DiBiase in this video 😂... he couldn't get out of the tosses and side slams 😤😄

He says "no one can beat megabucks" that was the tag team of andre and dibiase

@@Surfer041 thanks. I always wonderEd wtf he said

Thomas Storff thanks! I was wondering what he was saying. Finally in 2019 i get the answer 😁

I never knew Andre said "No one can beat Mega Bucks" he said "Mega Bucks" in such a garbled way it sounded like he said "No one can beat me you bum."

@@mr10tomidnight sounds to me like he says "No one can beat million bucks"

That was only for copies of the machine intended to be sold in Europe, the one you played probably had different county/countries listed there. This was also far from the only game to have that sort of statement.

Sad but true

and because of an accidental mention of the N-word, the WWE now refuses to acknowledge Hulk Hogan now (which is ironic since Vince McMahon used it when speaking to John Cena years after this game was made).

figment1988 update: Hulk Hogan was reinstated he appeared at the Crown Jewel event this past weekend

figment1988 accident??! LMMFAO!

Hating someone for being racist is the same thing as being racist.

I WANT IT IN 2023! 💫🕹🕹🙏

Yes. It is strange that we never got console versions of this and wrestlefest on the SNES.

I can't remember if I ever saw it an actual arcade. Funny thing is I remember seeing it as a single arcade machine by itself at the local YMCA as a kid, which did not seem as random as a kid as it does now.

WWF SUPERSTARS was awesome!!!

So cheap 😂. Guaranteed to enrage your victimized opponent irl !!

Big Boss Man- coco savage of Superstar.

Why couldn’t you do it on Andre the Giant?

@@ViceAdmiralMando cuz he's andre.

@@ViceAdmiralMando deep cut

Me too.

Yep both Warrior and the Hulkster had Abobo's body. Macho Man's face reminds me of 'Machine Gun' Willy (Double Dragon final boss). Many of Abore's (second Double Dragon II boss) animations were given to Andre too. And Hacksaw kinda resembles Rowper as he appeared in Double Dragon II. And both Billy Lee and Linda Lash can be spotted by ringside!

I agree

True........but also keep in mind that Wrestlefest has Jake Roberts and Mr. Perfect. And of course LOD and Demolition. It doesn't feel right not having Savage though. I guess thats because he was "retired" at the time they released the game

Look at the title screens for both games. They both have 'copyright Technos Japan Corp'.

If you look in the crowd(further left or right), you'll see billy or jimmy lee from DD.

Konami, yeah

Because Andre the Giant is a final boss in many wrestling video games

DJCandyManMike Realy???? Never knew that

+Johny Kilroy Obvious troll. I never play as Big Boss Man, though, so I forget about that trick sometimes.

+DJCandyManMikㅓ

I never knew about that. Not sure why snowflake here was so offended by your tip

He is coco savage of Superstar

LOL no. Saying that just shows you never watched any other pro wrestling at all.

Same...Mendela Effect?

He was in Wrestlefest, the other big WWF arcade game of the day, thinking of that?

Kageryu Yes, as mentioned earlier, Perfect was in the sequel, WrestleFest. He didn’t become a big star until he was IC champion under Bobby Heenan. WrestleFest (1991) roster: -Hogan, Warrior, Jake, Boss Man, Legion of Doom -Earthquake, Slaughter, DiBiase, Perfect, Demolition

I like this one better. This is the summit of the wrestling games

darklordojeda mat mania it's called

Star man was from NES Pro Wrestling

Have you seen his actual hands? They were pretty heavy. There's a story Ric Flair told about him, Andre, Black Jack Mulligan, and Wahoo McDaniel hanging out at the beach. Black Jack slapped Andre for some reason, and Andre grabbed Mulligan and McDaniel, dragged them into the ocean, and held them under for a couple of minutes. Flair said it was the one time Mulligan bit off more than he could chew.
