8. WCW/nWo Revenge
Although developer AKI’s previous WCW wrestling game on N64 – WCW vs. nWo: World Tour – was an outstanding effort, it was a fairly simple game that managed to impress largely due to its incredible controls.
WCW/nWO Revenge would carry over that control scheme and top it off with one of the most complete character rosters ever seen and more gameplay modes and customization options than had ever been dreamed of up until that point. Elements like actual set recreations and fully accurate entrances may be standard today, but back then they helped Revenge recreate the experience of watching professional wrestling like nothing else had.
As amazing as this game is, developer AKI would actually manage to top in in every way with another game later on this list.
