It's a shame the game had a short roster. Would have been cool if Diesel and Owen Hart were in the game.

@sororitysleepawaymortuary1659 3 года назад

could have used Diesel for sure. the game still has great replayability though. it's fast paced and well made. i still do a run through and try to beat it quite often. the sequel In Your House had Owen Hart but was missing Mankind.

@jamesbounds 3 года назад

@James Ervin Would be cool.

@sororitysleepawaymortuary1659 3 года назад

@James Ervin that would be amazing. theres this demo with mortal kombat characters but it's not playable apparently. it's amazing though. someone needs to make it playable. have you seen it?

insanely fun, rather than trying to tech it up and make it a snooze fest they made it accessible and fun, to a point that it is quite timeless.

@kadosho02 3 года назад

This is an awesome one. Never played it, but to know they took a risk using real wrestlers, capturing their performance and taking it to another level. Back then, wrestling fans must have been losing their minds.

@saltygh0st124 3 года назад

Yeah, that's the reason I often picked The Undertaker when playing this at the arcade. I think they all were supposed to have finishers, but time restraints cut that short. WWF's In Your House however, everyone has a finisher, though most of them are pretty awful.

It was either Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm that carried the most rarest of the Arcade Games. I remember it was in Knott's Berry Farm that I first got to try Soul Calibur since I couldn't find any other arcade that had it, even the hot spots for arcade comp.

@ultimateman55 3 года назад

I received this by request for Christmas in 1995 on Playstation. It was an absolute blast to play with friends, and less so against the cheap CPU. The outrageous move sets of the characters combined with the combo system did give it a fighting game feel and I still consider it a sort of fighting game today. Definitely one of those games that I'll never forget.

@josephespitia5084 3 года назад

I don't know if I miss it. But, you forgot to mention about undertaker's fatality. When the undertakers shoves his opponent in a coffin,buries them and a tombstone appears in the ring. It's really cool.

@TheRealDustinNunn 3 года назад

The best versions of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game are the 32X and MS-DOS versions of the game because they are closer to the arcade version. This old game needs an online play remake and it needs to be renamed WWE WrestleMania: The Arcade Game with an updated roster, the options to create your own wrestler and your own move-set, the option to play online with your friends and vice versa.

@dustman820 3 года назад

I still play Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game from time to time. One of my guilty pleasures. Not a deep game like most arcade ports at the time, but it is very fun to play. I like the ridiculous moves like Doink's Joy Buzzer, Undertaker using an actual Tombstone, Yokozuna flying across the ring to sit on an opponent and Bam Bam Bigelow's top rope headbutt setting the opponent on fire if it connects just to name a few.

@stupid5pin 3 года назад

You missed mentioning that the Undertaker has a Fatality on the arcade version 🤷‍♂️ But I'd say to just keep the arcade theme going with Royal Rumble next

@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries 3 года назад

Video was well put together but you missed out on a lot of the behind-the-scenes drama. Undertaker refused to do any filming until somebody got him a bottle of Jack, Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were true professionals but razor was bombed out of his mind. It took yoko literally in our to walk from the front to the building to the back of Midway studios where the filming was taken place. The super Nintendo version was missing both Yoko and Bam Bam due to the slower processor speed and memory constraints. I did a pretty comprehensive video on its which is up on my channel if you're curious. I also show a picture of Adam bomb doing the motion capture work for his character.

@nubatman 3 года назад

@4713Caine 3 года назад

other thing I noticed was that none of the home ports were quite as good as the arcade, even the PSX and Saturn versions were missing some sounds. Plus, insofar as I could tell, you couldn't pick the alternate colors like you could in the arcade version.
