#N64 WWE GAMES PRO#
Nintendo themselves arguably had the most success of this era, with their game that was simply titled Pro Wrestling. Most developers resorted to making barely playable button mashers, like in the case of the M.U.S.C.L.E game. These games, and their contemporaries for the time, like WWF WrestleMania, World Championship Wrestling, the computer game Bop N’ Wrestle, and the like, all tried to distil the essence of what pro wrestling was into an accessible format, and the task proved to be more daunting than any developer could imagine. Such was the case of the Atari 7800 game Title Match Pro Wrestling, which only came along in 1989. That’s right, the second generation of consoles (Atari 2600, Colecovision, Intellivision, et al) didn’t even attempt it at all, or if they did, it was a port from a newer console. I never said it was an accurate representation of the experience.įor instance, the earliest wrestling games for home consoles landed on the NES in the form of Tag Team Wrestling and M.U.S.C.L.E (seen in the screenshot above). Instead, I settled into the equally fulfilling, but less dentally dangerous role of being a referee. An unrelated, expensive dental emergency wiped out my savings to spare my teeth, and I made the difficult choice to step back from pursuing my ultimate goal of being a pro wrestler. I even pulled up stakes and moved to Windsor, Ontario to train at Scott D’Amore’s Can-Am Wrestling School. Over the course of that decade, I filled every role imaginable both in front of an audience and behind the scenes. Once I graduated high school up until about 2014, I was involved in the independent pro wrestling scenes of Newfoundland and Ontario. In fact, when I was school-aged, the primary ambition I had was to be a pro wrestler. The industry of pro wrestling has and continues to mean a great deal to me.
#N64 WWE GAMES SERIES#
Joes, I collect video games, I am a fantasy genre aficionado to the point that I’m writing my own literary series called Gold & Steel, but above all of that, was pro wrestling, and it wasn’t a competition. There’s a huge stack of old WWE VHS tapes in my basement that if they worked would surprise me to no end, given how often I watched them. If wrestling was on TV, I knew it, and I was parked in front of the set.
#N64 WWE GAMES FULL#
I have a bin full of wrestling action figures in all shapes and sizes, and I had every piece of wrestling merchandise that I could find and my parents could afford. Why is that? Because these four games are pro wrestling games, and if you know me at all, you know that’s a topic on which I have many thoughts.

There wasn’t one of those that I thought sounded right. I tried every different angle imaginable to find the right opening hook to segue into a write-up on a series of Nintendo 64 games. I had a dozen different opening paragraphs I was working with for this piece. Thank you for reading and supporting the page, and with that, let’s dive in.
