I had the Genesis version of this game back when I was 14 at the time it came out. I loved the tag partner choke move when an opponent got to close to your corner, the chair, bucket, and ring bell as outside weapons. But the greatest part of this game, was something I stumbled onto at the time: As you can knock the ref out easily just by running over him, I remember knocking him out so many times with my wrestler, that he actually got up and left the ring, exiting through the crowd in the middle of the match. The match later turned into suddendeath which I won.
Man if Hulk Hogan hasn't left the WWF yet when this game is in development we could have a pre-nWo team-up in this game with the likes of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Syxx already in there.
Man, I remember my parents buying this at Wal Mart and when we got home I couldn’t wait to pop it in. I’d take it to friends houses when we’re weren’t playing Mario. My favorite game for Super Nintendo.
I remember watching WrestleMania 11 and at the end Todd Pettengill would give you tips and codes on the game. During the first title screen, if you hold the start button down and press up 5 times the screen will flash. You would now be able to beat your opponent with 3 punches.
You missed the "Super Punch" code for the Super Nintendo. Tap up+Y&B as the game is loading up and you will hear a gunshot to confirm. You can knockout any character with one or 2 punches. Loved playing that way.
One of my favourite personal challenges was trying eliminate every single wrestler in the Royal Rumble mode with a back body drop. I think I succeed once haha.
I feel like it was on mine two I also feel like i fought evil razor Ramon which as a 10 year old kid was creepy as hell and I get goose bumps thinking about it
The subtle differences were awesome. 1-2-3 Kid punching super fast in the corner. Yokozuna being unliftable by the majority of the wrestlers...that stuff was an improvement over Royal Rumble. I really did like THAT element of it.
RANDOM TRIVIA: When Wrestlemania:The Arcade Game, Kevin Nash(Diesel)was supposed to have the end boss of the game,but a scheduling conflict on WWF(E)'s part caused Nash to miss that lil' time off
My favorite thing about this game is using a bucket to hit people. Really wish one day a company will bring back the bucket in a newer game as a nod to wwf raw.
Most inviting thing about this game was the timeliness of the roster to the product at the time. There was always en expectation that a game's development would cause a big gap between what they gave you versus what was on TV at the time but character things like Diesel, King of Harts Owen, and purple Taker were only established on TV a few months prior to the game's release, which was impressive. Adding Luna was obviously interesting also.
My father would go to the video store and rent this for me and all my neighborhood buddies every Friday when he would get off of work. We'd spend all weekend on this thing.
Great video! I think Quang was the hidden character because they didn't have to capture image a brand new wrestler, just slap on mask and bam you got Quangs model.
I loved this as a kid. Had it for the Mega Drive and I would replay the rumble over and over. I played it so I was the first in and the only player to eliminate everyone. Owen Hart's special spinning move was also unstoppable and would just keep repeating that!
My cousin and I would have Royal Rumble matches and we would not battle against each other unless we made it down to the last two then went head to head. Great childhood memories.
I just uncovered my copy of this for Sega Genesis when looking through some of my old stuff the other day and it still works only thing is I can't remember how to do special moves or how to pin.
This was a couple years before the attitude era which is when I started watching so this is something I didnt know about til i watched wrestling game youtubers
I remember picking up a used copy of RAW as a kid, and being a used game it didn't come with the manual, so I had no idea there were super moves in the game. So when Own Hart started tornado spinning in the middle of a Royal Rumble and knocking out everyone my brothers and I were left wondering, "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!?" as we all keeled over laughing our asses off.
Yeah, the mega moves were not in the game’s manual. I discovered them in 98’ on a website and finally could use them. I also remember only Luna, Owen and Yokozuna using mega moves. So when I found out all the players had them, I was blown away
Nice! Loved the Kenny Omega mystery character look. I played this soo much. And watched each wrestler head to WCW. Bedlam was the most fun with a friend!
Knocking out the ref on accident or on purpose was the best feature. If you knocked him out enough, he would walk out on the match. Made for many laughs as a kid.
I had this on Genesis back in the day, and my friend had the SNES version. We had to give the edge to the Genesis version though. Sure, the SNES version looks and sounds better, but we always played bedlam matches, and the SNES would chug and slowdown with the sprites of four wrestlers and a ref on the screen. Even worse, try a Royal Rumble and let six wrestlers fill the ring, The Genesis will chug too, but the SNES version can be almost unplayable at times.
For the best experience on Sega, you need a turbo controller with ABC buttons on the bottom and turbo ABC buttons above those . NO XYZ buttons, you can do those manually
He didn't mention that Luna had a secret move where if you climbed the top rope and pressed a certain button combo she would morph into 123 kid and did his finisher
What was THAT? Is that Owen remix a new composition? I surely would have heard it before... Good work whoever did it. It actually sounds like it was made in 1995.
I remember borrowing WWF Super Wrestlemania off a friend at the time on the Super Nintendo and played the hell out of it. I never played Royal Rumble or Raw back then because for me it was all about the look and gameplay and they looked literally no different in either. As always great video👌👌
Me and my brother played this all day all night back in the day. Me HBK, him Diesel. Me Bret, him Owen. Me 123 Kid, him Razor. This was my favorite game for Sega🔥🔥🔥
If this game could be remade, I would want to see Men On A Mission, Smoking Gunns, Headshrinkers, Marty Jannetty added to it. In storyline mode or tournament it would unlock characters, going on to have Adam Bomb, Kwang, Tatanka, IRS, Rick Martel, Bob Backlund, Alundra Blayze and The Quebecers. Winning battle royals could unlock Jim Duggan, British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart, Papa Shango, Brutus Beefcake, Greg Valentine and Bushwhackers. Winning the royal rumble from number one can unlock The Million Dollar Man !
0:24 to the right of the King on the monitor, the scratch WWF logo is there. Noticed that years ago, but thought I’d point it out for those who never noticed. Pretty cool
Loved this as a kid played it for hours it was my absolute favourite of the wwf games had it for the genesis and the game gear although I rarely played the game gear version I think I only ever played it at school I loved the raw theme at the start and that it had Vince and king on commentary always used to play as Shawn and diesel in the tag team and usually Bret or razor in the singles competitions
I remember getting down on my knees and begging my grandmother for this game in the middle of Toys R Us, and then devoting an absurd number of hours into playing it. The finger blisters were worth it.
Whoa! I played this thing like crazy on Sega Genesis. When I got my hands on some codes, it gave it more replay value. I used to whoop on the ref until he threw his hands up and left the ring. That was hilarious.
Man I asked for this as a Christmas present. I had it in SEGA Genesis. I loved this game. I LOVED all the wrestling games LJN and had them. I played this game non stop for months along with Super Tecmo Bowl and Greatest Heavyweights.
I used to rent this all the time for my Sega back in the day. It was actually very popular and you were lucky if it was available at the video store. I remember one day I saw a kid walking towards it in front of me and he turned and nodded back outside to whoever to let them know it was there. As he turned I took it, handed it to the cashier and got out of there as quick as I could.
My neighbor was freaking obsessed with pro-wrestling when we were young. He had all of the LJN Sega Genesis games, and insisted on playing them constantly. He would even leave the character select menu on for long times, parking on certain wrestlers so he could hear the 16-bit versions of their theme songs on loop. He particularly loved the Undertaker, insisting that he actually had supernatural powers and always looked cool. I told him to imagine the Undertaker on the toilet, squeezing out turds. Yeah, my youth was pretty terrible.
Love this. i have this on the genesis. Doink had this move where he will turn the opponent into a ball then kick him out of the ring lol. Good for the rumble.
I enjoyed the SNES version a lot. Me and my friend played the Royal Rumble match from 8pm till like 3am straight. We had a lot of fun with that game. It hasn't aged well today, but for what it was back then, it was pretty fun.
I had this. One of the 4 games I had. Super mario world, final fight, donkey Kong country and raw. I remember these super moves you could pull off I'd do by accident sometimes not knowing the actual button combos lol. My grandpa always got a kick out of me smacking a guy with the bucket.
