Spotlight Video Game Reviews - WWF No Mercy (Nintendo 64) 

I was addicted to this game as a kid, I got it the 1st day it came out . SO many months spent on this game . Nostalgia at its finest.

Reason for Andre the Giant being in the game is to make up for the absence of the Big Show. You can still create Big Show CAW using Andre's customization. Also this being the first WWF wrestling game to include a legend in the game before that became a norm in future titles.

Spent literally years on this game creating every wrestler I ever wanted to play as. They had every move you could ever want

This is my all time favorite wrestling game ever. Man i remember me and my friends would play hours and hours. The good old days.

Here Comes the Pain and No Mercy are my favorite wrestling games

i wish they would remaster this game like wtf i pay 100$ for a current gen remaster of no mercy

No wresting game has topped No Mercy..imo best game ever..got it for Christmas when it came out. .best gift for 64..👍

This game still holds up today. No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000 and WCW vs NWO revenge are in my opinion 3 of the greatest wrestling games ever made.

dig dig diggity dig diggity dawg!

Damn. Never noticed they had the last group of guys listed as straight-up Jobbers. Brutal.

This game was pretty damn epic I have to admit. And still holds up to this day! The system was great, and provided years of fun well after the end of N64's time. Then came Smack down HCTP.... What else do I need to say? That game had it all! perfect controls, the perfect system, the greatest roster, an in depth CAW mode, a great season mode, and a bunch of other extremely fun features that make it well worth having in your collection right now. There's nothing like doing a running power bomb off the top of time square onto the top of a limo in traffic, and then that limo exploding from under you. Or dragging your opponent around while riding a motorcycle! lol HCTP is hands down the best in the Smack down series, and pretty much the funnest wrestling game I've ever played. No mercy stands right beside it tho...

Man, my cousin and I would do backstage royal rumbles back in the day. Man, those were some of the best times I ever had playing a wrestling game.

Remember playing this and never seeing the intro because i never gave it a chance to play, then after a few months seeing it and being blown away and revived the hype for the game

"and even a ho?...you can buy a... 'ho' in the game..." Haha. That one got me, man. You do very good reviews.

I love the fact that weapons in this game dont dissapear once they fall to the floor, that is a huge plus for me over Wrestlemania 2000 and Revenge. Also having 3 strong strikes ( B, B+Dpad, A+B )

Doing the 3D, best part of the tag team matches. You all know you hit that damn thing a million times in one match. it was just too much fun to do

This game is SO the greatest wrestling game ever made. it's one of my favorite N64 games of all time. I especially love how unlike the previous games, taunting doesn't get rid of your weapon. I'm so glad this game appeared in the best games list in the final issue of Nintendo Power.

The other great thing about these N64 WWF games is you can make a wrestler who isn’t in the game and they actually blend in with the wrestlers actually in the game! Something that has never been done quite right since.

Shut Your Mouth was my favorite

Dig-Diggity dog

I recently got the chance to play this for the first time and it without question lives up to the Hype even today. This definitely belongs in the GOAT Tier of Wrestling Games along with other classics GOAT: No Mercy, Shut Your Mouth & HCTP, SVR 2006 & 7, & WWE 2K14

This game has the best weapon system of all of the games. They don’t disappear when dropped!!!

I love this game it’s a lot better than WWF Warzone, WWF Attitude, WWF Smack Down, WWF Smack Down 2, and it’s even a lot better than WWF Wrestlemania 2000. WWF No Mercy has awesome creation options and great gameplay.

Guns and roses estranged in the background.

If WWF No Mercy had full entrances like in WrestleMania 2000 this game would've been perfect and would've been my #1 Wrestling Game, that #1 spot belongs to Here Comes The Pain! Thanks for this review Nikateen, I've been rewatching your Wrestling Game reviews, it's been always a blast! 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Best wrestling game of all time.

I think it's the best wrestling game ever. Why don't they have the same gameplay now

Considering the fact that No Mercy is still being modded to this day I would say yes No Mercy is the best wrestling game of all time, 2k games may have the next gen graphics but they don't have the longevity of this iconic game

The only negative about this game is when it would erase the data. It really sucked playing the game for hours, unlocking everything, and then one day finding out it was erased...or right after you won a belt. I remember beating the Hardcore title story and then finding out the data was gone. I didn't turn it off. I beat the mode and went straight to exhibition mode. No title. Other than that, this game was good.

Wassup! I have a question! Can I use this footage for my video, Top 5 Greatest Wrestling Games!? I'll put this video in the description!

I'm glad you did a review on this I think this is the greatest wrestling game of all time but I am a product of my generation

Yes it is, I still play til this day.

100% the best wrestling game ever made! It was a match made in heaven... The N64 had its hands full with the Dreamcast, and the PS1 out, but Nintendo had em fighting for dear life!

No Mercy and WCW/NWO Revenge are the GOAT Wrestling games to me. Spent countless hours on those games wow....

Just noticed and giggled at the Insiders Edge shown in the CAW mode 😂

Only problem with no mercy......THE FUCKING ENTRANCES

This one is next on my list. I've avoided it because, as I've said before... I am an entrance mark from WAY back. That said, the roster seems slightly better than WM 2000, it has more venues, running grapples, ladder matches, table matches, and backstage areas, and you can destroy the announce table! I also love the fact that they added in a "Ho" to purchase. Can you imagine if they tried to add something like that into a current game? Oh yeah... "Estranged", anyone? Great choice for the outtro. Was that you hitting the keys? I've seen you drum, so makes me think it may have been you. I'm a guitarist, and I can play the keyboard too. Musicianship is FAR nerdier than people give it credit for!

Yes,you're right,but also include to the list Shut Your Mouth or Smackdown! & Here Comes The Pain!

This game got me into WWE. Best story mode and great to play with my brothers

Wow I can’t believe I never realized no mercy didn’t have full entrances lol wow just wow how did I miss that

Don’t care what anyone sais WWF No Mercy greatest wrestling game of all time and those are the facts!!

great channel ive stumbled across, going to watch all your other wrestling game reviews now

Still play it to this day. Best wrestling game ever

What a game. The gold standard. I remember getting this with such a sense of anticipation which I think was because of a combination of how good WM 2000 was and how hot the WWF was in the year 2000.

I think the entrance cuts were made to add things like creating wrestlers making the game play better and the roster and adding a better career mode. They had to draw the line somewhere. And at least it still has entrances and theme music. They could have just done without them completely like in Smackdown. This game is a great complete package even if in some ways I think Wrestlemania 2000 is slightly better for it. No Mercy is the overall more complete game but Wrestlemania had slightly better presentation. Both games are still so great!

If I could, I would mix No Mercy with Smackdown vs Raw 2006 and WWE 2k17.

the only real downside was the data on the game would delete every now and again

Tell you what was an amazing feature for the time!! Updated characters updated on the intro video also 😎

he kicked that out!!!! he kicked that out!!!! he kicked out!!!! lmao J.R.

The only thing I don't like is when it slows downs when 3 or 4 guys in the same time

I really wish WWF Backlash was finished. That would’ve been my favorite wrestling game ever. But for now, it will always be No Mercy and Here Comes The Pain for me.

Is this game worth buying an n64 for.

WCW vs NWO, Revenge, Wrestlemania 2000, and No Mercy were wrestling video game perfection IMO, and each iteration just added more that made them the undisputed kings of the genre to this day. The animations were so good, the speed was just right, and everything had a perfect scale and weight. Starting with the Smackdown series wrestling games lost that feeling. Everything feels too fast and floaty since then, and you don't feel the impact of the fighting and environment as much. The other benefit those games had over their games was the culture of wrestling during that era. We still had things like great hardcore matches, crazy stables, and the rosters of the late WCW and Attitude Era WWF were amazing. I feel so lucky to be a kid/ teenager during those times and to play this game series in its prime.

I remember saving my paper route money to buy all available wrestling games for n64 and ps1 back in the day. NWO world tour was sick and always wished they made a wwf game the same.....then they Did!! What a time for wrestling and gaming indeed. 20 years later and they can't come close to how good they had it.

No Mercy is what got me i to wrestling when i was three years old. and it also got me into gaming

It's the Awesome Review of AKI/THQ N64 Wrestling Games!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

damn back in the days I played this game every day

I love listening to classic entrances from these games.

My top 5 greatest wrestling games of all time: Smackdown here comes the pain, Day of Reckoning 2, WWF No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000 and Smackdown vs Raw 2006

If the Championship Mode or whatever that was wouldn't be so f*cking hard I would maybe consider it one of the greatest games of all time... But HCTP has probably that status.

Im literally watching all of your reviews for these wrestling games back to back. Great content man. You should do a review on SvR 2008

Just bought an N64 with No Mercy on eBay, been looking at buying an other N64 for a while now so decided to go for it. The first console I had was the Mega Drive but it was the N64 that really made me appreciate gaming and got me into the hobby. So, so many memories of gaming on my N64. A brilliant system.

Gosh i had totally forgot they cut entrances in half in this game... which tells you how fun the gameplay was and i remember i wanted the best entrances possible as it complete the package so nicely!

At this point I wasn't watching WWF that much but my brother and I poured hours upon hours into this! We altered so many characters to look like Street Fighters, the Punch Out! cast, Double Dragon, and all kinds! Sure they didn't look perfect but we did the best we could.

Ive watched all your wrestling games reviews youre great now in my opinion the best is WWE SMACKDOWN HERE COMES THE PAIN

The real shame is there was supposed to be one more game (WWF Backlash) but it was cancelled when focus shifted from the Nintendo 64 to the Gamecube.

If I had a log of how many hours out into this game, it would be staggering.

the APA acolyte protection agency had a handful of scenes in real life inside a bar where they would talk to superstars. Short lived but I really liked the bar and the pool table addition, that may never be done again.

They do so many remakes nowadays… THIS is a game that absolutely should be remade with updated graphics, wrestlers, matches and story mode (just polish it up basically and make it a little more in-depth) But just keep on the controls and the vibe.

It’s definitely the best of its generation, but I only consider it to 2nd best ever. To me, the best is “Smackdown: Here comes the Pain”.

Such an amazing wrestling game.

I had gone off my n64 by the time this came out and was onto ps1 fully, i would have loved this game as I was a huge fan of revenge. Kudos for the estranged piano piece towards the end.

Do an in-depth review of Smackdown 2 next, man. That forgotten gem was super over back in it's day and well remembered, until 7 or 8 years ago.

you've earned a subscriber, my friend. I hope you do other wrestling games.

I loved the pool table and announcer table stunners

#1 Here Comes The Pain #2 No mercy #3 SmackDown 2

Great review. Never played any wrestling game on the Nintendo 64. I was the Playstation guy. But it sure keeps me interested in buying this system, when I see your reviews for all the awesome wrestling games on this console.

I can almost swear that there were 2 versions of the game. I recall that the first time my brother and I owned WWF No Mercy it was full entrances. Then my Mom made us sell it to get some money for a GameCube. When we purcased the game again a few years later it had the shorter entrances.

18 years later... I still ache for the unreleased sequel to No Mercy, which was rumoured to be called Backlash. I just know it would have been the greatest wrestling game ever to this day. My life will never be complete :(

I realize this video is 5 years old, I just wanna say that there are bars back stage because arenas where events are held like wrestling are also arenas for other sports and events. The bars are usually named after something Like Pepsi or whatever company wants to pay money to have their name in the arena. Folks sit in there and drink and watch the events while paying 3 times what a drink is actually worth.

Is the switch re-releasing classics like this? They should really expand on the 64 collection.

I like your modern y2j . Almost the save us attire. Good job. Games had great editing

I always thought Smackdown 2 3 and 4 were better. I enjoyed Revenge/Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy but those smackdown games just captured my imagination. Good times

besides short entrances , this game is just amazing.

I love all the aki games. They're one of the best. If not. The best.

Day of Reckoning is the closest to achieving No Mercy.

best wrestling game ever made ,i spent countless hours playing this as a kid.I won my first WWF/E title in this game as Rikishi

The only 2 downsides to this game were the lack of complete entrances and how Career mode could be a bitch to beat at times, especially handicap or multi man matches. I still have it as my 2nd favorite WWE game after HCTP.

What if big show was replaced my Andre the giant? As in just the face was switched?

No mercy and wrestle mania 2000 are my favorite. When they changed from WWF to wwe that was the beginning of the end for me.

Mid-Card 1: Upper-Carders Mid-Card 2: Mid-Carders Mid-Card 3: Lower-Carders

Great Review. Although I find it hard to believe you didn't talk about the save data bug. That damn thing frustrated me so much when I played this game.

I hated this game. The only advantage it had over WrestleMania 2000 was the running grapple, which was present in Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. VPW2 was just a Japanese WM 2000 with a running grapple.

To me it is the GOAT. It got me into wrestling. Two of my favorite things, wrestling and video games but together for so much nostalgia.

Yes it is the best, ive owned revenge and world tour since the 1st month they were out and acquired WM2000 and and no mercy at a later date but I remember renting it multiple times as a kid spending HOURS kicking ass. Still play it to this day sometimes.

I feel like the entrances were reduced due to the fact that during multi-player, we would always skip the intros in 2000. It's like once you've seen them all its like, ok let's do this already. I missed the option of watching them or skipping them though.

I got this game we back in the day on release in the UK and I loved every minute of it playing it I seriously don't understand why people think it's the best wrestling game because it isn't of course it's fun and enjoyable but to me it's not the best wrestling game ever that mental goes to here comes the pain

The bar was there because of the APA storyline around the time of them always being in bars and being a protection agency

I feel personally that No Mercy is a bit slow paced. Perfect wrestling game of all time imo is HCTP!❤

The thing that bothered me the most is when playing Survival mode, each time someone runs into the ring, the camera zooms in on that character. When doing so, the fighting in the ring stops for about 3 seconds.
