Back when love and care was put into video game intros. You can tell whoever made this KNEW what they were doing with the energy of the soundtrack. It's an enjoyable trip to watch.
The best playing mechanic, the best roster in wwe and wrestling history, the cool soundtrack the iconic superstats entrace musics, the rock as the absoulute king of that year 2000 and a game full of his catchprases, the variety of matches and all the things that they improved from wm 2000 game its just pure gold ..the attitude era at its best. 👏
5th grade graduation present year 2000. Moms put the game inside a box inside another box that was inside another box and flipped out once I finally saw this. I stayed up the rest of the night into the early morning playing this.
Swear I told my pops on Christmas Eve I wanted that game. After the stores closed and all, and somehow it was under the Christmas tree the next morning😭
@@kylein9869 I think it was because I hadn't watched much WWE at the time (got the game in 2004) so I wasn't familiar with Jim Ross yet and hadn't heard him say that before
That mark just before 2001 was magical (somewhere between wrestling, cartoons and videogames). Unlike these games, THAT is something that will never be emulated or remastered.....
Fun fact just in case for those that didn't know. At the beginning and end where we hear The Rock's "If Ya Smell What The Rock Is Cookin" thats actually taken fron The Rocks 2000 Royal Rumble interview with Michael Cole.
Anybody that has any doubt who the face of the WWF was at this time, make no mistake, it was the people’s champ. He had the Smackdown video game franchise and he is the main character presented in the intro for No Mercy.
And before him Shawn Michaels from 1995-97 Steve Austin 1998- early 99 Rock took over after Shawn’s retirement and Steve’s neck injury which changed his career
They wouldn't be able to remaster this game without replacing a lot of wrestlers. They'd probably have to use the modern roster. If you can't do Edge & Christian vs. the Hardy Boyz, why bother remaking the game?
NINTENDO please remaster this game with New graphics but keep the same soundtrack ,same menu, same story , also add online keep everything the same it would be a masterpiece!!
WWF No Mercy had its flaws (with the the short entrances) but made up for it with the new match types (Guess Referee),fighting backs stage (even though they had that in SmackDown),and cutscenes after the win with certain players (Rock,Kane,or any member of Too Cool). I push start so fast after the announcer says the name of the game I didn’t even notice the music until now!
21 years later and people STILL talk about this game😢😌!!! What's even better is that AEW is going to make a game that takes HUGE inspiration from No Mercy. That's how special this game was to everyone in the 2000s!! Hell even Kenny Omega is a fan of this game!! When the new game comes out I'm going create every character from the No Mercy games and use them in the AEW game. Just to have a tribute to my childhood wrestling game and the very first wrestling game i ever played as a child!!😊
@@planett.7899 This game was the very first game that allowed you to go backstage and fight. This game was a different breed of awesome!!! Only flaw was THAT DAMN BUG🤦🏾
Brian Smith same for me. This game is legendary, but they won’t re-release because... A) They would have to rebrand this game as WWE No Mercy and removing the WWF logos on the cover and in-game will be a pain And B) Chris Benoit is in the game and you know how stupid wwe are towards him. Best wrestler ever!
@@ShroudedEnigma Grandmaster sexy, viscera, crash holly, boss man, bulldog. I think those are all the ones from the attitude era. I wont try to name the rest. Oh and Owen hart for sure
The first game that came close to this one (mechanics wise) is 2012 but they didn't have it where you could choose to fight in the back or the ring. It also lacked the swag of No Mercy. No Mercy is in a category of its own. There was another wrestling game was out around the same time. I can't remember if it was on super Nintendo or the N64. It was good but it too was No competition. They bring this game to the Nintendo switch and its up.
First time seeing this was an unforgettable experience. BAH GAWD it was so amazing seeing this as a kid - we thought wrestling games couldn't get any better than this. And, in my opinon, they haven't - this game is still the undisputed King of the Digital Ring.
And people wonder why AEW Fans are Excited The same engine behind The Greatest Wrestling Game Ever is behind There Game And The Director This needs a Remaster - Highly Tyjie
No Mercy had an irrevocable memory dump flaw and it’s STILL regarded as the best wrestling game ever. Bonus fun, replace the sound with Murphy Lee-Shake Ya Tailfeather and it works a little too well.
And the fact they took big show and gangrel out of the game. Like why did they do that with big show and have steven richards play his role in story mode? I understand gangrel got fired for something stupid and wasn't his fault at the time frame this game was made.
@@Maniacal.Metalhead big show was sent back to Development at the time of the game's release as he was being punished for getting over weighted He as actually originally gonna be in the game
Still rate Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 higher for Nintendo 64 grapplers, but WWF No Mercy was almost the entirety of my teen years. Beyond it too! Love changing the attires so they are completely out of character for the intro!
Here’s a fun fact which I did when I played this game. I cloned my cows into the roster so that way I can be in the intro. You also see your name that was soo dope.
This great game needs to be in Nintendo 64 catalog for Nintendo Switch, I'm waiting for this one, Smash Bros 64, Conker's bad fur day, MK trilogy and one of the NBA games
The single best pro wrestling game ever! Absolutely love this game, I spent way too many hours as a kid playing and saving SmackDown dollars to get "ho"...
Remember When We All Did The Finisher For 1st Time & Was Like "How Did I Do That" Or Their Was Times Were We Had To Look Into The Book Let To See Which Bottoms To Press.
To this Day🤦🏾♂️🥲😂😂 I still feel some type of way about my parents NOT buying me No Mercy.. I loved Smack Down 2.. but once my friend at school let me borrow his No Mercy ( He a real 1 for that 💪🏾) I was so addicted 😂 I wanted to keep it but I’m not that type of cat was grateful he allowed me to borrow it for a few weeks💯 No Mercy probably the best wrestling Game ever I got it slightly above Smack Down 2 cause the gameplay was more realistic etc✌🏾
Bro. For the year 2000, this intro was hype af.
yeah for sure :)
Rated M for masterpiece
I played Wrestlemania 2000. I never got to play this title. One of the few wrestling games I never got to play.
@@phenomenal-fitness PJ64 + Vimm's lair + WWF No Mercy in N64 section in "The Vault" = have fun and youre welcome bro

Yes, indeed. Best wrestling game of all time.
Back when videogame intros went hard. Got us hype for the game we're about to play.
exactly 100%
And didn't dissapoint
Back when love and care was put into video game intros. You can tell whoever made this KNEW what they were doing with the energy of the soundtrack. It's an enjoyable trip to watch.
We don’t even have intro like this these days 😔
@@Scramboe crafting an intro gets in the way of getting the money faster.
@@Allplussomeminusyep, back when video games weren’t a cash grab
Serious childhood nostalgia. Even bought the N64 again in my 20s with No Mercy and goldeneye just to get the feels back.
Yes Indeed this moments are forever ^^ thx for your commentary
Lol i loved how you could throw your opponent to the lockerooms and boiler room, and parking lot
And inside the sport's bar.
^^ yes it was a great function
I like to put them in submission holds and keep breaking their legs and also throw them from room to room keep making them tap out😍😩😂
Great freaking memories ❤️

There is nothing more to say :) wonderful post great thinking thanks a lot
Rather play this than WWE2K18
yes, thats for sure me too
I rather play this than 2k19
Same
And pretty soon we all rather play this than WWE 2k battlegrounds
I Buy it the 2k18 and no mercy still better than any 2k
5th grade graduation present year 2000.
Moms put the game inside a box inside another box that was inside another box and flipped out once I finally saw this.
I stayed up the rest of the night into the early morning playing this.
It was my christmas present so I can feel your joy :) this is what we never forget.
Thanks a lot for your great post :-)
Got this for my 10th birthday I know and remember the feeling
Swear I told my pops on Christmas Eve I wanted that game. After the stores closed and all, and somehow it was under the Christmas tree the next morning😭

haha ^^ same here
That's what I thought it was for like a year
Sounds nothing like he kicked ass lol

@@Tirgo69 fair enough bro
WWE NXT just made a No Mercy opening tributing to this! Glad NXT took some of us back to our youth.
NXT has nothing to do with WWF no mercy video game.
That mark just before 2001 was magical (somewhere between wrestling, cartoons and videogames). Unlike these games, THAT is something that will never be emulated or remastered.....
Definitely emulated lol but not legally!
Maybe AEW can change your mind😊
Unpopular opinion
2003’s Smackdown Here comes the pain >>>>> 1999’s wwe no mercy
Better gameplay
Better ai
Better graphics
Deeper modes
2001 was sooo insane
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 That's not unpopular.
The most legendary intro in wrestling game history to me im almost in tears of joy watching this because i remember this like it was yesterday

The fact that this game is over 20 years old boggles my mind.
Still the greatest wrestling game ever made.
Absolutely facts
I love how if you changed the characters attire it would change it in the intro
Yes
I literally didn't know that until now. Holy shit that's awesome

The feeling you get in this game unbelievably reminds you of the attitude era.
ohh yes 🙂

Me and my cousins would play the hell outta this game back then 😭
I got this game for Christmas 2000. I was eight years old.
Also a present for christman I will never forget :=)
I just randomly started humming the intro and I had to look for it on CZcams. You know the feeling.
The first game I ever learned how to play proper back when I was 3 years old. Still gets me excited to play to this day.

Is it sad that this game runs nore smoothly than the new ones and the physics are more realistic
It’s tragic, actually
you can never beat the classics
Correct ^^
No, I beat it a lot
Agreed
I remember getting this for Christmas. Spend my entire Xmas vacation playing this game and loved it.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎁🎅🏼
Exactly the same I got this for christmas I will never forget that present :) 🥰
Best Wrestling Game Ever
If this isn't on the N64 Classic, I won't buy it.
Brian Smith same for me. This game is legendary, but they won’t re-release because...
A) They would have to rebrand this game as WWE No Mercy and removing the WWF logos on the cover and in-game will be a pain
And
B) Chris Benoit is in the game and you know how stupid wwe are towards him. Best wrestler ever!

This game
Not better than wcw revenge
Lawrence Perla in my opinion this game is better than WWF Wrestlemania 2000 and WCW Revenge.
Lawrence Perla only if you like WCW over WWF, 'cause it's nonsense if this game have the best wrestling engine of all AKI N64 games.
.... is cool ^^
It's better than both of those games just that no mercy can be a little slow at times.
The first game that came close to this one (mechanics wise) is 2012 but they didn't have it where you could choose to fight in the back or the ring. It also lacked the swag of No Mercy.

This shows the n64 can handle real pictures but not full motion video, only stop motion style as shown in the titantrons
yep that is correct good watch
I was playing this yesterday still one of my favorites on the N64 🔥🔥

thats true ^^
EXCUSE ME WHAAAAAT!!!!😳😳😳
I remember one time I was playing this game with a friend, KO'D him in 8 seconds flat
Man all i can say about this is good old very long memories.
This great game needs to be in Nintendo 64 catalog for Nintendo Switch, I'm waiting for this one, Smash Bros 64, Conker's bad fur day, MK trilogy and one of the NBA games
Yes it should be of course. 🙂
This game came out during the WWF Attitude era! I was in 7th grade when I got this. I created character that was a beast! I miss those days....
This is waaaaaaaaaay better than wwe 2020
I was so young playing this game... I thought Gerald Brisco’s name was “Joe Biscuit”
^^
what a fucking era
At 0:52 Classic😠🤨
This still slaps to this day!
Wrestlemania 2000's intro is all about Stone Cold, this one is The Rock all the way, really fits each respective year in the wwf at the time
*incomprehensible growl* “ah that’s some good sh*t, pal!”
The Rock's game...for the Millions
This was my favorite Wrestling game on the 64 ❤
"HE KICKED OUT, HE KICKED OUT, HE KICKED OUT!"
This is the last N64 game I got before I got my PS2
Shout out to Botchamania 400 for aping this intro!!!!
MINUS FIVE STARS!
"Windjammer!"
