I remember finding this on the arcade machine and fell in love with it. 10 years later I found a PS1 port of it and still play it to this day!

At 5:40 where Vince McMahon went "BOOMSHAKALAKA!"? He got that from the old NBA Jam franchise, and it was normally Tim Kritzrow's line.

Remember everyone, this is the REAL Yokozuna.

@@sheriffdraws8789 because it is the one and only REAL YOKOZUNA!

I played many WWF games growing up.There was a bowling alley in my hometown that had Wrestle Mania the arcade game. At the the time me and my cousin's were big into fighting/wrestling games. Years later I ended up owning that arcade machine.

Yokozuna looked good for a arcade style game

Nice, your Fink callout was great. RIP Fink

The reason that 1995's top wrestlers are not in this game is because the game is actually from 1994, thats when it was made. If you take notice of a lot of the wrestlers poses in this game you will see they are taken from Royal Rumble 1994, the way Shawn Michaels falls, the way Lex Lugar lays flat on the floor, the way Bret Hart poses with his forearm raised up infront of him, they all do those exact same things in the Royal Rumble 1994 PPV. I remember that being the first thing i noticed as a kid when i played this game

I see what you are saying but mo-cap began in 1993, at midway studios, and they didnt digitize any live wwf footage it was all done in california (theres a vhs tape with the process shown, hosted by bret hart.

Cool Paul bearer face on Vince McMahon monitor screen at 5:33

acclaim and midway were good partners working together throughout the 90's. acclaim had the ideas not just for sports related arcade games, but also for games in general. midway on the other hand has had games like blitz, nba hangtime, mainly mortal kombat games of course without question.

I used to play this game on the Genesis all the time, and figured out the easiest way to win the handicap matches. Use Yokozuna, pick up your opponents one at a time, and throw them out of the ring. It'll take away a quarter of their health bar and they'll have to climb back into the ring, which will give you time to throw their team mate out as well.

PSX crowd was very lively with Handicap Matches

this game brings back good memories. thanks for the great review

The only wrestling game, ever! That got yokozuna right.

I love doing The Undertaker's Jumping and Special ChokeSlam

The SNES VERSION had less wrestlers than the Genesis version for some odd reason. I had this game on the Genesis and my cousins and I had sooooooooooo much fun back in the day. Overall, I thought Brett Hart was the best. Use to do 35-40 hit combos with him

It was Nintendo's demand that RAM chips go through them, so they'd charge premium. Acclaim just made a smaller cart to save costs. So the SNES version is 16mb, where as the Sega one is 24mb.

Sega Saturn had more memory then the 32x. why didnt the Saturn or PS1 have more wrestlers

Is the real yokozuna line an inside joke? When was there a fake yoko? I mean in 2018 at the saudi rumble event but this review was filmed in 2013

I've got this on SNES, Genesis, and 32X. I've been trying to get the Saturn version for years, but it's just so rare and expensive!! And for some reason, Yokuzuna and Bam Bam weren't in the SNES version, which sucks.. cause that's the one I grew up with and spent the most time with. Love this game.

GUTTED we never got a proper midway attitude era arcade game like this. Yea every thing had moved on and we where all 3d and stuff. But dammit, I want Rock, Mankind, Kane, Ministary undertaker, Jerico, and some Jerbronys.

Didn't Undertaker have a finisher, think only in the arcade , I don't remember seeing it in any of the home ports

I had this on PSX always Loved this on PSX not Saturn

the crowd is much more animated then the playstation version

You forgot the combos. This game hasbsome sweet ass combos

...and it has the real Yokozuna in it... Probably the best line I’ll hear today. 😁

Super Nintendo Sega played theme music at the game with you favorite wrestlers at the end

I played this again today, couldn't figure out how to do Bam Bam's Piledriver or super move at all lol

Good times

What's the 'real yokozuna' thing a reference to?

This was a great game

What is the music at the background

the best wwf game was the four player royal rumble arcade game

PSX had Wrestlers endings like HBK winning the WWF Title and being trampled to death by women and became a congessman , you had to beat the game on hard

I don't understand why they never made a part 2 to this just add more wrestlers to it

They did a second game like this, it was called In Your House. Exactly the same formula, but with a different roster (Shawn, Bret, Taker, Warrior, Vader, HHH, Goldust, Ahmed, Bulldog and Owen).

Btw will you review rage in the cage?

Nice Review ;) but... no combos? This game has great ones.

WWF WrestleMania The Arcade Game stated as a arcade game lol

Would like to know why they removed Bam Bam & Yokozuna in the Snes version.

So all the complaints here are pretty much fixed in in your house yet everyone shits on in your house and loves wm the arcade game lol o personally love both. If I could have it my way I would have had them port wrestle fest to consoles! Now that's a WWF arcade game. And the visuals were incredible at the time. The mean Gene interviews between the start screen and high scores screen and the character selection it was great

you're forgetting the special fatality like pinfalls

but u didn't talk about the combos

It was the shit to me

I still think Saturday Night Slam Masters was a better home port

they should have added mortal kombat characters
