Nicely received, Gameday. You know I love my Warzone/Attitude, but I can’t deny that Acclaim was out of their depth. They stole a whole lot of money from a whole lot of people (mainly kids).

The Legends of Wrestling series feels like WWE Smackdown but minus 50% of the budget (7:31)

I'll never forget being stuck with WWF In Your House on Saturn while everyone else had WCW vs. The World.

Brother, didn't you know that Hulk Hogan taught Rey Mysterio everything that he knows...brother.

As a 5 year old, QB club 99 on n64 was my introduction to football. I would use the acclaim 99 overall team and run the same play over and over, 44 power right and dominate the nfl Europe scrubs. Good times, good times.

This channel can definitely go places if you have a decent upload schedule and keep up this high quality

I remember back in the day people saying "Ack! Lame!" for Acclaim... I miss the expansion mode from All Star Baseball. Closest thing now is Diamond Dynasty on The Show. I want a full expansion mode.. Legends of Wrestling was an interesting concept... I would have loved to see it be done by someone other than Acclaim..

EA has bought and killed countless other game studios, and in doing so has robbed us of great games that never got made as a result. That and their scummy use of loot boxes etc makes them the worst. Acclaim may have made sub par games but there is no way they are worse than EA.

Love the video, the announcer for the lacrosse game is longtime radio DJ Scott Farrell, he of the similar raspy voice.

One Acclaim game you didn't mention that I did enjoy (though it wasn't the best game in the world) was College Slam. It was fun to play. Similar to NBA Jam though so it was kinda hard to screw up

Warzone was revolutionary back in the day, and was the first American console game to go all in on create a character. Even friends who thought I was insane for watching wrestling (Katie Vick made it hard to argue) were obsessed with that feature. It was also the first wrestling game to add crowd psychology into the fight. Among other features that would enhance better games.

He’s done it again. He’s only gone and done it again. Leave Royal Rumble (SNES) aloooooone pleeeeaaaase 😂😭

Nba street would probably be the no way home.

How Rhythm and Balance was used in the controversies section was quite good.

I kinda had a soft spot for WWF games like royal rumble and raw on SNES and WWF In Your House on PS1 and WrestleMania the arcade game and legends of wrestling as some of the early NFL Quarterback Club games. I know they weren't perfect but not all bad

Jackie Chan Stuntmaster?! Boy, I'm surprised KZread didn't strike this video for including such a brutal & horribly violent clip like that here 🤣 Thanks for explaining that nonsense with NBA Jam and Greg Lassen. I always wondered about that. Like, I _knew_ about it - I bought NBA Showtime and Hangtime because of that license/naming split thing, but I was always just confused as to why Acclaim didn't steal more IP. I just thought they had the rights to NBA Jam because they published it, and was baffled they didn't try to make their own Mortal Kombats or whatever. What gamer wouldn't have liked to see a lineup a fighting games sporting that sweet, sweet Acclaim Jank™? lol Hearing about that Acclaim guy who went to work for the NBA then sold the license back to Acclaim makes everything make sense now.

The NBA Jam titles developed by Acclaim felt like "NBA Jam but in name only"

8:41 he sounds like jontron going monotone for a joke but it never ends

Yooo, Scott Farrell did VO work on a lacrosse game?? 😂

Wish I could sue acclaim for over a hundred hrs of wasting my time as a kid.

You can't do that to nba jam. That's a classic

Glad I found this channel I have to binge watch older videos

Derek Jeter sounds like they grabbed him off the street and forced him to read his lines off of very far away cue cards at gunpoint.

I kinda have a soft spot for BMX XXX honestly. Also fun fact the PS2 version was partially censored while the Gamecube version was not, weird to see a game be more explicit on the more family-friendly console.

"Forget about the weird bounces, What about the soggy baseballs?"

Attitude and Warzone had solid reviews back in the day. The bad reviews come from people who play the game 20 years later and its not fast paced and one button finishers like the Smackdown games that came after. It only became an issue when the ECW license took over and they released the exact same with a new roster.

The All-Star baseball series is PHENOMENAL

Thank you so much man. Yeah I'm fine now, but was sidelined for a good 10 or so days.

Maybe the Olsen twins did us a favor by suing the company

Remember when they made the same game 4 times? (Warzone, attitude, revolution and anarchy rulz) cause i member

You can tell you are a more modern gamer with this list. Like WWF games for their times were well received. Warzone and attitude were LOVED by wrestling fans at the time. Yes they certainly don't hold up nowadays like a lot of 3D PS1 games but at the time ppl were frothing at the mouth for them.. They lost the license not because of poor games but the fact other publishers offered better deals for WWE.

I loved WWF Warzone and Attitude on the N64 as a teen. I tolerated the ridiculous button combinations. It definitely did not age well. Trying to play it nowadays I have no idea how I loved them all those years ago.

Attitude was my game back in 99 😂

I liked the baseball game with Jeter on the cover. I think it was 2003 or 2004? There was a decent amount of cool extra stuff and game modes

I'll never forgive them for their ECW Wrestling games. WWF Warzone reskins, released during the era of Smackdown & No Mercy. Unforgivable.

Paul Heyman had to SUE Acclaim to get the money owed to them for the ECW game. Acclaim argued that it wasn’t Heyman they owed the money to, but ECWs financial partners. 🙄 ECWs partners decided to not give Heyman any of the money made off ECW, and put injunctions against him. Which according to Heyman is what REALLY killed ECW, they thought the “greedy fat Jewish guy” was going to take the remaining money from his failed business, and RUN- so they cut him off, and kept ECWs money. Heyman says It was only enough money to keep ECW going for maybe another 6 months, but it would have bought enough time to secure a new TV deal.

Ok ok let me just say this, I won't accept any NFL QB club slander

Raw is war was my first wrestling game and I got so much out of it. I would love to go back and see how it holds up today.

That territory mode in Legends Of Wrestling 3 was a guilty pleasure of mine back in the day. Just fun enough grind to work my way across america eating turnbuckles and taking names.

Michael Vick Dog Fight 08🤣🤣 so childish yet funny

One thing I did miss was how ASB added closing and opening new stadiums and every team who had a mascot you would see it active and even in the 05 real stances and real pitching from the stretch I really wish it got remastered or continued but I know everyone wasn’t a fan good times

I played the fuck out if all star baseball on PS2. Before ea mvp, it was the best baseball. As you said real stances and hitting home runs in that game was so satisfying.

NBA Jam 2k2 for Gameboy Advanced: "Where did you learn to nicely receive?"

ASB games were the best baseball games on the N64. That’s the best I can say about them

I remember having NBA Jam on my original XBOX, it’s fantastic to know after all of these years that I was robbed of playing the much better NBA Street Vol. 2 I also had both Legends of Wrestling games. Goodness, I was a disturbed child.

I grew up with WWF Attitude and I can confirm it was so hard to play! The laughs from how awkward it was made it half worth it. Just the voiceovers alone were hilarious😂. WWF popularity was at its apex at that time so we tolerated it. Smackdown franchise took it to a wayyy better level tho.

What about the soggy baseballs..? 😂😂😂🤣🤣😭

I never played any Acclaim Sports titles and didn't even know a lot of these games existed until now, but I did play XGRA, an Acclaim title part of the Extreme-G series. I thought XGRA was a really fun futuristic racing game for what it's worth.

Legend of wrestling 2 is actually really fun. Bought it at a yard sale as a kid, really great time

Dave Mirra 2 was one of my favorites as a kid (hey...you referenced this). As you stated, it is one of the better games of the bunch.

We all see what happened, right? Acclaim Sports fell flat on their faces as the gaming landscape shifted from 2D to 3D. That “Acclaim jank” would be far less of an issue with 2D pixelated sprites, but because they insisted on developing the 3D NBA Jam games in-house instead of remaining as just the publisher, they stumbled hard into the sixth generation of consoles and had to resort to nonsense marketing gimmicks to make a comeback.

Lololol I loved that song from sa2 can’t remember them name off the top of my head but forest level but with shadow lol

I enjoyed all of Acclaim's wrestling games back in the day for what they were. But they certainly haven't aged well. Royal Rumble and Raw were a lot of fun and they are still decent for a couple of minutes nowadays, but when you play Super Fire Pro Wrestling X on the SNES you start to realise what was possible on that console. Likewise, I had good times with Warzone and Attitude but the more arcadey SmackDown! games have aged better. Obviously, the Mortal-Kombat-like controls were a questionable choice even back then, but what haunted ALL the Acclaim wrestling games (including Legends Of Wrestling 1-3) was the absolute lack of impact when it came to the moves. Just lok at a Big Splash in No Mercy. You can almost feel the oomph when the bodies connect. In Acclaim games the wrestlers just kind of float into each other without much selling. Also, the robotic and repetitive movements. Wrestlers constantly doing the same taunt over and over was kind of an Acclaim staple. As for the Legends Of Wrestling games, it seemed like they didn't even care about them. It was like they wanted to make a modern wrestling game, but were stuck with old, retired wrestlers they had no knowledge of. The move sets were absolutely hideous, almost to the point of insulting. Who cares about arm drags and hip tosses. Pedigrees and Stunners for everyone!

Bro you’re hilarious just found you videos and love sports video games 🎉

I loved Attitude and Warzone…..I know I’m wrong for this lol

I feel offended that they made the WWF game that was in memory of Owen Hart

I remember being younger and see acclaim on the box and automatically knew it was going to be trash

Acclaim jank is a perfect way to put it . All of the games felt like guys had a load in their pants. It sucked when i was a kid and didnt know about publishers and took one of these games home from a rental store. They are the worst.

The Meatwad reference had me laughing.😂

Bro can u also make vedio on thq ?

Damn.... I miss Midway

Acclaim jank applies perfectly to their Legends of Wrestling franchise. I’ve played bad wrestling games but those have got to be some of the clunkiest games I’ve ever played. The movement is so awkward and the moves themselves are worse.

This video had earned you one crispy clean sub

ASB 99 was one of the most frustrating games ever. Wanted to like it but every create a player would bat .175 no matter the stats so it made building a franchise futile.

QB challenge was awsome, right up there with Tekken bowling as best minigames.

My only complaint about NBA Jam Extreme was the load times.....jeez!

I kinda like all star baseball

The A's joke still hits hard in 2024, haha. ASB05 on GBA was actually one of my favourites, was best baseball on the GBA in my books. Otherwise this video is 100% accurate.

I grew up playing NFL Gameday 2000 and loved it

Legends of Wrestling 2 was by far my favorite wrestling game as a kid, considering how objectively bad it was I had so much fun with it.

Brother I enjoyed this video! I know for sure that Acclaim Sports sucks. I had their ECW: Hardcore Revolution for GBA and couldn’t get over the annoying music and boring gameplay. So I went to a friends place who had a PSX and we bumped the console version…. It wasn’t much better. I do have an observation though; You use 46 EA Sports games vs 29 Acclaim games. The average score for EA was 85.6 while for a Acclaim was 64.5. Looking at this stat alone, it is not surprising. It would have been if the amount of games released was switched between companies (meaning EA released fewer than Acclaim but still got a higher aggregate score). Just pointing it out there as a math nerd. 🤓 Great job on the video bro! EDIT: Including Sega Sports hit the nail on the head of how bad Acclaim Sports was. 👍🏼

You forgot to mention NHL Breakaway 98 and 99. Breakaway 98 was released on the ps1 and N64 while 99 was only on N64. Graphics were awful hard to score a goal and everything but the bodychecking was awful. The hockey sticks look and sound like chop sticks. It also features what every hockey fan hated at that time...the glow puck. The main menu music in 98 was pretty catchy it sounds like the music that was played in the spongebob jellyfish episode And you forgot to include QB club on the N64. Everything in that game was so clumsy but I will give the game credit for the catchy music especially QB club 99

NBA ShowTime still one of the best Arcade Basketball games of all time. That and the NBA Street series.

They made blast lacrosse that was awesome

Acclaim was the company that bought and owned another infamous video game company; LJN. They were also the company that sold their soul to the Devil for the license to produce Simpsons video games, thus preventing Konami from being able to give The Simpsons Arcade game proper 16-bit releases on the SNES and Sega Genesis. Acclaim's Simpsons games were mediocre at best and hot garbage at worst. Acclaim had failed to evolve as a video game company and continued to make low-quality video games, which inevitably led to them going bankrupt in 2004.

I love the PSX Acclaim wrestling games bruh 😂 First ones to have all of the wrestlerss with their actual themes in CD quality iirc.

Didnt ea make the post aki wce games

I bought NBA Jam for the PS2 because you could.unlock the old Boston Garden. The clerk foat out said this game is awful, try 2K or NBA Live

I know you can't see it, but this has no dislikes. That means it is GOOD.

Nice to see another video. ⚽ Greetings from the UK.

YOOOOOOO MORE GAMEDAY HELL YEAH

7:51 Yeah, but THQ wasn't perfect, either. They also gave us WCW Nitro and WCW/nWo Thunder, which are some of the worst wrestling games of all-time.

Their should be a HBO Boxing 2 on the PS2. Its by the same studio that made the Monkey Prototype on Gamecube that surfaced a while ago.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SOGGY BASEBALLS?!

All star baseball 05 was my favorite baseball game because of expansion mode.

Could someone tell me any other companies besides ea and 2k that are better and make sports games primarily Ik they have a giant hold on the sports game market so that could explain why I haven’t heard of any other companies but if 2k and ea are that bad there’s gotta be another company doing something good

I remember playing Legends of Wrestling 2 on an emulator a while ago because it was the only game in history to feature some of the greatest british wrestlers of the 80s, at least in the PAL version. "Big Daddy" Shirley Crabtree and Giant Haystacks...game was still shit though.

BMX xxx had a mint sound track 😂 I remember that.

I liked one of the legends of wrestling but I don’t remember which one

Man as a single digit kid in the 90s boy did acclaim sports game suck. They were usually $20 cheaper so if u had a sports itch and wanted a sports game on a budget this was it. All of their game engines sucked . Wwf warzone and attitude was horrible. The football the basketball horrible.

2K only started a downward slope when SEGA stopped producing them in IMO
