Greatest Wrestling Games 1

Saying that WWF No Mercy is the greatest wrestling video game of all-time is a lot like saying that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all-time. It’s kind of a cliche.

But cliches become cliches for a reason and the reason that No Mercy is held in such high regard is because it is indeed the best wrestling game ever made. While later wrestling games would feature more characters, more moves and better graphics, there is no other wrestling game that has No Mercy’s perfect wrestling controls. They’re similar to the controls that AKI had designed for the previously mentioned WCW/nWo Revenge, but here the developers created a control scheme that you could instantly figure out yet was still capable of leading to matches as intense as a traditional fighting game.

Everything about the era of wrestling that No Mercy was trying to recreate was done so spectacularly, but it is No Mercy’s impossibly smooth mechanics that cement it as a timeless great.
