- Episode 129: TNA Impact!
TNA Impact! (stylized as TNA iMPACT!) is a professional wrestling video game based on the professional wrestling promotion, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). The console versions of the game were developed by Midway Studios Los Angeles and published by Midway Games. - Hry
The graphics of the PS3 version looked so amazing for that time...
They still do
@@WrestlinGifs wait, you watched this guy to pav ?
@@WrestlinGifs
OMG! Pav is here on a nikateen video? I hope this hints on a future crossover. These two are the best for wwe video game reviews.
Looks better than thq
@@WrestlinGifs is WG gay
Rockstar making a wrestling game would have been interesting
Eh
😂 I said that years ago. After the Warriors game. I was like Rockstar needs to do a fighting or wrestling game..period!
@@nevermindgaming6848 no idea why you said eh. rockstar makes masterpieces....
@@extremeking425 gta and any game that looks and play like gta rock star is a one trip pony
there is rumors floating round that Rockstar might help produce a AEW game. they had a very breif teaser of it only i think it may have been fan made. Fan made or not, it was still a pretty impressive trailer in any case.
It's great to see you continue this series, although I'll always miss the old intro
Yea that intro is stuck in my head
Well stay tuned for my next review. 😉
Imagine this game with wwe resources. Backstage areas, more moves, deeper roster, and all the crazy gimmick matches tna had around that time. Svr would have gotten a run for its money.
Wwe allstars
The marks will still say wwe is better
@@nevermindgaming6848 because its one of the only few games one major company has every single year you ever thought of that?
Thank you for making these videos. I binged watched almost every wrestling review. Great job. 👍
Thanks a lot for watching!
Impact had one of the best wrestling game storylines I've ever seen
Yea it was actually really good!
@@NikateeN Jarrett is one of the best heels I've ever seen, to be able to see him at his best digitally was great
3:35 - Thanks for tackling the Kevin Nash ring attire disaster, glad you mentioned it haha. Terrific review, as always! 👍✌
Yea man, wish I knew more about it as far as him possibly not even bringing his gear. Would have loved to see his ring attire.
Great review. I think this game is very underrated. It has its issues here and there but overall it’s fun to play.
Thanks!
what a way to start 2021 , thanks for bringing back svgr much love.
The roster in Impact Wrestling is so good and diverse right now, a video game is needed now more than ever!!!
The current Impact roster is full of good athletes, but it doesn't have 1/10 of the star power and star appeal seen in this game. Not even close, it's abysmal compared to the good old years of TNA. You need more than a bunch of good athletes to sell something as expensive to produce like a video game, Impact just doesn't have any real stars right now to sell this type of merch. AEW on the other hand definitely has the right roster to produce one.
Thats is if they can afford it
@@jonathanturbide2232 true AEW currently has more star power but Impact has been around longer and I feel as tho an Impact game now could offer a lot more content with unlockables.
I'm just really checking it out myself. It's certainly not a bad game. This roster felt weird to me being a attitude era kid. Like, it felt like a mash of WCW vs WWE lol. Another dope video fam. I think you'll 50k easy soon. Keep grinding 💪🏾
Thanks man!
Finally this dude fixed the most awaited review.... I knew it!
Always been one of my favorite channels for the realness and honesty in your perspective on gaming and wrestling.
Thanks a lot dude!
This game had a lot of potential but the only reason for this comment was to say thank you for displaying the game that was my childhood prominently. I played skitchin for hours each day after school back in the90's
Skitchin was one of those games I rented all the time as a kid. It was really underrated and Blockbuster always only had a single copy but when it was there I grabbed it every time. I wanted to own it as a kid but I rarely got to purchase games. Finally when I was older I was able to pick it up.
Great video, just a slight correction though. The PS2/PSP/Wii version of TNA Impact were actually developed by Point Of View Inc. (Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Spawn Armageddon, Blitz The League). They had a very good and long working relationship with Midway developing many of their games/ports. Sadly, like Midway, they are no longer around. Check out the DS version of Impact if you can. It was developed by Double Tap Games (Deadliest Catch Sea Of Chaos, Touchmaster Connect) and was made from the ground up for the system. It also has 3 exclusive playable characters in Mick Foley, Consequences Creed & Hulk Hogan. The gameplay modes are Single, Tag Team, Ultimate X, Four Corners & Steel Cage. You also have Bound For Glory which is basically the story mode. What's cool is that each story is completely different for every character. You also have Victory Road which is a basically a tournament style mode where you compete for the Heavyweight Championship, Tag Team Championship & Ultimate X Championship. All in all it's not that bad for the DS.
9:44 About the quiet arenas, I do know that it's a deliberate design choice when you wrestle in the Japanzone meant to emulate the atmosphere of a puroresu crowd.
First time I saw a match from Japan
(Bigelow vs Vader) I was shocked by how quiet and respectful the fans are
It made it all the more real when they did react to something
In a mainstream industry where the fans are big on noise and short on emotion, the Japanese crowds are sometimes a welcome change
I am so happy I have found your content. You give detailed reviews for some games I've always wanted reviews on. Anyway, you're awesome! Thank you.
Thanks a lot man!
Don't know why I didn't get a notification for this video. great job please make more
Thanks dude, got a lot of new reviews on the way!
Waited for your video for so long man!!! I watched your svr games reviews multiple times!! Those were so fun to watch and detailed!
Thanks man!
I remember you saying you'd cover this a while back on the (2k17?) Review. Glad you finally came around to it.
I also agree with your point on entrances. It really completes the experience. I remember as a kid getting an entrance and ramp for my wrestling toys. Good times.
I had a custom entrance area and titan tron for my wrestling figures and I would use WWF The Music Vol. 2 and 3 for the themes.
Since I love TNA, it's a must-have.
Fantastic quality in your videos man. This is great. I’m the same . Loved the entrances when I played wrestling games
Thanks a lot! Entrances definitely complete the experience.
Another long awaited topic that finally came true, Thanks Nikateen 🙌🏻
Surprised to see you HAVEN'T covered this one yet. Greta job as always looking forward to next gen version
Thanks dude!
Thank you for the upload!
Thanks for watching!
Happy new year man. I had some amazing memories with this game. Happy you reviewed it
Happy New Year to you as well!
Good to see these Reviews brotha! This is where you shine! This is your Year!!!
Thanks!
Have been following your channel a long time. Love 💘 your videos. Awesome work.
Thanks for the long time support!
Congrats Nik on 30K ! Keep up the good stuff because these reviews are Fire.
Thanks!
I loved the music in this video. This actually looks really fun to play. Early TNA was great to watch.
I had the xbox 360 version. Create a player was pretty bare bones and lame. I always liked the smackdown series more, but really the Ultimate X match was really fun. I really wished the sequal came out because while this game was sort of a letdown, it had HUGE potential. Ultimate X was new and unique, the reversals were so fun, especially reversing reversals into another reversal, It was awesome the first couple matches but yah, the move selection was extremely limited, no weapons other than chairs, etc. It became repetitive really quick.
All the music I selected was from past Midway titles. Not sure if anybody would have caught on to that or not. 😉
RIP Midway publisher that used to make one of underrated games such as MK and Blitz the League 2 unlike THQ too when years has passed later on.
Some of my favorite racing games of the 90s were Midway. The Rush series, Cruis’n, California Speed, Off-Road Challenge. They made solid titles.
I own this game on the PS2An Xbox 360 and still enjoy it till this day TNA was supposed to make a second game but Midway went out of business
yo im digging this new format brotha.
Great video man!
I just love your videos.
Thanks man!
Congrats on 30K, bro! 🤘🏼
Thank you!
TNA '08 seriously needs a mod to add knockouts match features, more moves and a referee
Aye! I requested this game a couple weeks ago! Lol
Great review as always man.
Thank you!
I was so hyped for this game when it released because I was so tired of wwe games for so long at that point that tna game was a let down for me I still enjoyed it but I came in with my expectations to high I guess
I love you’re passion for wrestling lol.
Love your Videos. Youre dope bro! Keep on rockin it!
Thanks a lot brother!
i played this on the 360 and honestly it was a great game, graphics were amazing, gameplay and everything was good, een better than some wwe games today
I preferred it than svr.
Happy new year indeed boys!!%
Happy New Year!
You can argue to say that this game animations are better then recent wwe 2k
I had Impact on Wii because it was one of only 2 nin WWE wrestling games available. The other was Natsume Championship Wrestling on the Virtual Console.
This game is so underrated
man I remember the hype about this game from like way back in 2006 they showed like little screenshots and at that time you had Jeff Hardy and Monty Brown on the cover case so it let's you know how long the game was in development. overall I really was impressed with the game itself the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are amazing especially with better graphics that to me still hold up today with the 2k Games. Great Vid as always Bruh an Happy New Year
Thanks man! Happy New Year!
Major respect for using Top Gear Rally's music.
Somebody spotted it. 👍 One of the truly underrated N64 soundtracks.
Going on a video watching spree. This is my third one today. I like how you're not all 'in your face' like some other wrestling games reviewers...not gonna mention any names
Also, your gaming knowledge is very impressive!
I never played this one. When this one came out I had basically stopped watching wrestling all together. Great video and congrats on the 30k subs. You should have way more in my opinion.
Thanks! My story is similar. My interest in wrestling had been declining in the years leading up to this but by 2008 I pretty much wasn’t watching any of it.
I’d love to see you cover other series’s ! I’m a fan your video presentation
Your NWO shirt rocks!
I use to play this game as a kid it was found the time svr08 came out
He's an entrance person. I'm a create a wrestler person lol.
Get Fire Pro World on PS4. There's Parts Craft, Move Craft, Logic, it's nuts. Plus you can download stuff from Fire Pro Net that other players created.
@@Gotchism4Life I love the fact that you can download way more stuff a day in Fire Pro than you do in WWE games
I'm a weapons person lol
@@dangerousd1312 What I like about Fire Pro World is that you can have weapons like a chair, bat, barbed wire bat and fluorescent light tube. Moves in the game can incorporate a fork and a sickle. Match modes include landmines outside the ring with a choice between barbed wire boards and light tube boards in the corners. The ligh tubes on the boards can be taken off and used.
@@Gotchism4Life yeah seeing deathmatch stuff on fire pro got me into the game. one of the best
It is my destiny
!
It is a truth I see!
In this world I find...
A WAY TO CROSS THE LINE!!!
Its NikateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeN (Tony Schiavone voice)!
Digging the content and intro!
Thank you!
Definitely give this game an A for effort. I feel like if TNA would’ve continued making games it would’ve got better over time. I wish the Knockouts could’ve made the game.
I can’t wait to see you do a video on the AEW game that comes outsoon
I always felt that TNA's failure to make a yearly video game series was one of the big contributors as to why the company never really took off.
I think when the brought Hulk Hogan in TNA when downhill
By the late 2000s it was really starting to take off but 2010 everything changed when hogan and bischoff came in and brought their pals to the promotion
Get ready to fly!
This game is way better than wwe battlegrounds
Facts
I enjoy this video man 😎!
oooh, after the long wait from the initial announcement, its finally here
Whoa! Almost seems like half these guys are on WWE 2K19.....
I loved this game on PS3, but it had soo many limitations that hindered replayability. It would have been nice to see a sequel with more concepts put into play. It's nice to see some feeling mutual in the comment section.
The one thing it had going for it was the TV Commercial. If only it had Smackdown control's it might have sold twice as many game's.
Your reviews are always on point and cool. Keep up the good work, mang.
I remember playing this back in the day on PS3. I rented it from a Blockbuster Video, and thought it was decent overall. Not great. The moves were really, really repetitive, but that Ultimate X match was pretty fun to play, for sure.
Thanks a lot man! Man I miss Blockbuster.
I wonder what a rockstar wrestling game would have been like
I played the hell out of this game on ps2 lol and then when I got it on my 360 it was like a whole new experience with the graphics, story, and being able to play online
This game was awesome on the 360
Christ's load screen gave me many good times
I had this game on the Wii, and I did enjoy it. I was pissed when the sequel was only on the DS (something I didn't have at the time since.... I fucked up when going to the pool, I was surprised I wasn't electrified is all I can say).
The controls on the Wii was decent, but what did suck was the lack of an entrance, like come on its 2008 and we're getting the Nintendo 64 treatment. The animation looks good, but the few second animation entrance and no tag team entrance made me feel un happy.
Some stuff wasn't bad, just unique. Same for the finishers.
For me I gave the game a 7.5/10
Never heard of this but damn, the graphics and gameplay look awesome!
He is backkkkkkkK!
We used to own this on Xbox 360 back in the day and I played it a fair bit and remembered liking it as we all were fans of TNA back then, but then my brothers sold it and I never really played it again after that. Interestingly the game also seems to run on the same engine as All Stars I think, they both play similar and share many sounds such as the menu sounds. I'd like to get this game again, probably for my PS3 so I can play it again after all these years as I never really got to play it a whole lot. I think this game had serious potential and a sequel could've been very good but sadly we never got that sequel, I wish we did as having more alternatives to WWE's games would've been a good thing even if it was just 1 promotion. Anything would've been better than nothing
Got the xbox version when It was new for christmas
I basically forgot everything except how good the graphics were
to this day this is the only game to have a decent looking booker t
Ain't that I forgot to mention that a wrestling game with no create a character mode that's like the highlight of a wrestling video game

*"Top Ten Best Historical Quotes Ever Said"*
You swear to God with those buttons trying to make it that you were playing a Tekken or mortal Kombat game so difficult just to do one simple move
Impact was better at launch than Fight Forever was.
Never was a TNA Fan But I have The Game TNA iMPACT for PS2
I remember playing it for the ps3
I rented it, beat it in 2 days, wished there was more to it because of how much I loved what it did have to offer.
If a sequel would've been made they probably could've afforded to do everything they couldn't get into this game done in that 1...
Six Sides of Steel would've been a great addition to the game.
I had this for the Nintendo Wii and ps3
I got that game for Christmas a long time ago
I definitely miss the days when video games came out for other systems besides just two top two
This game had the guy from ready to rumble boxing on 360 as an unlockable. I remember the thing that sucked so much was THERE ARE ALMOST NO BACK GRAPPLE MOVES. I did have a lot of fun with it but it could have been so much better like NikaTeen says.
One of the best wrestling games there was
I never got it for PS2/Wii because of the lack of create a wrestler mode, was waiting to get a 360/PS3 but I never got one XD, still if I ever get one I'm getting this, this had so much potential
Your videos are always entertaining. I hope you can review 2k19 some day.
Thanks dude! I’m sure I’ll get to it.
A 2k19 review would be awesome, since a lot of people are still playing the game to this day. Timing would be fantastic.
Been saving this video for when I got home from work and cooked up a nice meal. Nikateen4life
Edit: Jeff Jarrett as a final boss in a wrestling game? Wow
Haha! Good ol Double J!
Completely fair analysis! This game was fun for what it was but it definitely could've been better..sad midway bankrupted..TNA Impact 2 would've been amazing and more detailed. Impact Wrestling could make a video game..they are finally healthy and stable. I see 2022-2023 as the next opportunity.
one of the most promising wrestling game in ps2 era, there are few things missing but the actions made the game really fun for me. No create a wrestler for ps2 , Kevin Nash height during game was wrong. but other than that the game was fun to play, and boy those scans really works like magic.
Hi big fan
I remember buying this weeks after my birthday in may back in 2011 from bulletproof games and comics in Brooklyn. Not bad but could be better.
I just remember beating it in one night and it crashing a bugging out a couple times in the process and having to have my dad return it the next day.
Yeah dude!
