Rumor: The greatest wrestling game of all time could come to the VC
If you had a N64 and friends, then you probably played a couple of different games on the regular. Some game starring a "Bond. Mr. James Bond" or something, called Goldeneye 007, seemed to be the crowd favorite. Another game some would say was quite popular was Mario Kart 64, a game that involved kart racing and some guy with a mustache. Last, but not least (for us, anyway), was a series of wrestling games based on both the WCW and WWF (a magical time when one guy didn't totally destroy what used to be a kind of fun program to watch).Now, the last amazing wrestling game that the N64 would ever see (and most would agree, gaming as a whole) might be making its way onto the Virtual Console. But, it won't be the same game you remember, because word on the street is that it's to be updated with the current roster of WWE superstars. While we could care less about the new crop of wrestlers, we could easily create all of our old favorites using the awesome character creation mode.
Who else is with us in wanting this game?

So wait, did you ever actually say what game it was?
Also no, I'm not with you. I absolutely hate all wrestling games.
Donald @ Nov 12th 2007 3:22PM
As the saying goes, pic related.
And a No Mercy remake would be freaking SWEET.
Tesche @ Nov 12th 2007 3:25PM
Please God! Please be true. I have whole stories I could tell you about this game and its character creator....This game came out at just the right time in college and everyone on our hall had their own characters. My roommate and I created the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse. The real ones (Death, Famine, Pestilence, and War), not some Rick Flair wanna be stuff... I also had created Bill and Ted and my kickboxing instructor. Those were fun times and late nights. I didn't think this was a possibility due to licenses and whatnot, but please let this happen!

i haven't bought a VC game in a while, but i'd pony up the cash for No Mercy.
troy @ Nov 12th 2007 3:37PM
Ha ha finally a Wii announcement I -don't- want to buy... my wallet needs a few things I don't want to play ha ha.
phoenix @ Nov 12th 2007 3:41PM
They better keep hollywood hogan or this game fails!
Alex @ Nov 12th 2007 3:52PM
Please be true. This is the perfect fighting game even if you hate wrestling. Please God make it online-enabled.
Mr. Ballz @ Nov 12th 2007 3:54PM
Hollywood Hogan? WTF? This is WWF NO MERCY. Not WCW/nWO Revenge, although that game was really good too.
Alexisonfire @ Nov 12th 2007 4:03PM
No Mercy would be amazing, but, knowing Nintendo, they'd axe the custom character creation aspect of it. Which was amazing.
Jumbo @ Nov 12th 2007 4:32PM
WCW vs. NWO World Tour was a great game.... my first and last wrestling game purchase.
AstroZombie @ Nov 12th 2007 4:21PM
YES. I hate pro wrestling, but those games were awesome.
anone25 @ Nov 12th 2007 4:30PM
they can keep it if they wanna force on the updated roster. want the original D-X and People's champ!
sketchampm @ Nov 12th 2007 4:31PM
Would definitely purchase No Mercy again, that's the best wrestling game ever made- hands down.
omar @ Nov 12th 2007 4:33PM
i wonder if they will edit benoit out of the game?
Gordon @ Nov 12th 2007 4:39PM
If they're redoing the rosters anyway, fair money says Benoit's out for sure.
I will be so happy if this comes out.
hWo @ Nov 12th 2007 4:48PM
I would assmume that anyone not currently under contract would be removed from the game. As for Benoit..you're more likely to see Pee Wee Herman in it.
I still can't figure out why 68658907 games later, they still can't come up with a create mode thats as good as the one in No Mercy.
Meatstiq @ Nov 12th 2007 4:51PM
I had this game, and I didn't even like wrestling. I guess that's a testament to how fun it was.
ArashiUzumaki @ Nov 12th 2007 5:04PM
di-di-diggedy di-diggedy dawgg!
;)
yeaaaah
Kronus @ Nov 12th 2007 5:10PM
Wow! I hope this is true. I would love an online feature, but doubt that would happen. Anyway, this game was amazing and with updated rosters, arenas, titles, and storylines in Nintendo 64 fashion would just be great and I am sure a tremendous addition to the WiiWare or Virtual Console.
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Nov 12th 2007 6:06PM
If they do remake it, I hope they re-add the ring entrance. That's the one area that Wrestlemania 2000 trumped this game in; No Mercy cut the ring entrance in half.
Oh yeah, and they removed tag team entrances.
Also: poster 1 is a complete noob.
Justin Hall @ Nov 12th 2007 6:31PM
I don't think that thinking wrestling games suck means being a noob..
shawn @ Nov 12th 2007 6:32PM
wait what? when I read the headline I thought this was going to be Saturday Night Slam Masters! that was the best Wrestling game ever!
in other VC news.. where the hell is the original Tetris? sure I got it on my DS and what not but nothing beats that music! there are other games I would like to see on VC but Tetris is probably #1 and i don't think I am alone in this...
Alex @ Nov 12th 2007 6:45PM
ArashiUzumaki, what a ridiculous menu song!
Fact; WWF NM > SNSM.
D-Lo looked like Carlton Banks, in this magical game.
Pookieman @ Nov 12th 2007 6:47PM
HOLY ****! If this comes true that would be awesome. Please release this game!!
Daniel @ Nov 12th 2007 8:23PM
No Mercy 64 remains the BEST wrestling game to date. I can 100% confidently say that before playing SVR 08. Anyway, it coming to the VC would fully warrant me buying the Wii. Not that it isn't warrented already but any doubt as to why I bought it would be shattered.
Edwin @ Nov 12th 2007 9:24PM
At last! And hopefully they'll remove that delete your game glitch.
Hollywood Ron @ Nov 12th 2007 10:28PM
best game ever, bar none
RioMcCarthy @ Nov 13th 2007 12:56AM
Oh wow.. I loved No Mercy so much, and actually still own the original cartridge for it. I'd love to see this come on the Virtual Console!
Chyld989 @ Nov 13th 2007 4:14AM
Best wrestling game ever? You mean Fire Pro Wrestling for the Dreamcast? No no, silly. The Wii doesn't have DC games on the virtual console (although that'd rock hardcore).
lpburk2 @ Nov 13th 2007 5:25AM
If they're really going to take the time to change the roster of the game, they should also take the time to make it playable online. I loved all the AKI wrestling games for the N64.
BluClouds7 @ Nov 13th 2007 10:13AM
they need to put perfect dark on. with online. thats all they need to do
Jack @ Nov 15th 2007 12:09PM
God i hope this is true. Screw the roosters....Create-a-guy FTW. I can't wait for the figure 4, boston crab, and the rack!
OMG please come out soooooon!
ArashiUzumaki @ Nov 21st 2007 6:11PM
i'd get it for the menu song alone..
