Kurt Angle taking off his straps from his singlet is awesome. I love little details like that in games

My favorite aspect of the Gamecube games was the ref's fighting back after having enough of the wrestlers' abuse. Also, all the moves look so damn crunchy and painful on the Gamecube

Not to mention, WM 19 was the first wrestling game to have full entrances (besides WM 2000 on N64). That’s one of the reasons why I loved that game

Underrated maybe, but not as good as the day of reckoning games

Wrestlemania X8 was my first wrestling game and I couldn’t put it down I have been a wrestling fan since I was a baby and that game will always have a special place in my heart

Played these for hours back in the day!!

Interesting that X8 covers are both "WWE", but in game is "WWF".

It has to do with the timing of this games development, when they started it was still WWF but once they finished it was WWE, due to deadlines they couldn't go back and change the in game logos, so they just changed the cover and packaging.

Me and my friends would spend hours playing this game the good old days again thank you wrestling bios 🔥💯💪🤙

Also, when you talk about the DOR games, please talk about creation suite. It's literally the best creation suite I've seen in a video game. You can make insanely accurate characters from other media. Hell, I even created Mewtwo on my DOR copy.

My gamecube library is really small, I have the WWE games and Resident Evil 0, Remake and Resident Evil 4. I originally bought it just for the RE Remake, but the WWE games, particularly the DOR games were a nice bonus. I remember sinking a lot of time into Wrestlemania 19's Revenge mode, but I didn't remember the chains. That looks rather frustrating. Great video, and thanks for the great job you've been doing especially with the lockdown situation. It's a nice bonus to be able to put on one of your videos and forget about the troubles for a short while.

Wrestlemania XIX was my favor for a long time, even after the DOR games came out, only for the insanely detailed create an entrance mode. Being able to time your entrances to the 10th of a second was fantastic.

Loved this, Been playing Wrestlemania XIX a lot this week. It seems to be the closest thing to a spiritual No Mercy sequel we ever got, Especially in the the art style and animations. 2 former AKI developers worked on X8 & XIX and i think it shows especially in the latter.

Honestly I'm really enjoying you cover the evolution of graphics and functions in these games.

This was a childhood favorite no lie. 1v1ing a friend was always something sweet after the W.

Man I really miss these old wrestling games from this era

The character select screen music is legendary!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Wrestlemania 19 was the first game I owned for the GC, ahhh good memories.

Was playing Day of Reckoning as I saw this pop up lol. Public Enemy and Anthrax "Bring Tha Noise" as the title track still slaps.

My nephews played WrestleMania XIX on GameCube a lot. I would play with them a few times. It was a fun game.

Man these games are classics! I remember having these games and having fun with my cousins!! Wrestlemania x8’s extreme mode man that was like a UFC beat down! lol! XIX was incredible loved the gameplay and the graphics were so much better! Regardless both games are great regardless of graphics!

Wrestlemania 19 was awesome. It felt like an update to the awesome 64 games

Awesome Awesome Awesome Video! Retro gaming is one of my main serious hobbies (NES Tetris specifically)... So these videos you've done covering old wrestling video games have been right up my alley! Never did own a GameCube, so these games were totally new to me during this video. I owned the NES, SNES and N64 and a bunch of the wrestling games for those. Fired up the SNES Royal Rumble game early last week and it gave me chills. lmao. Thanks so much for the effort! Please stay safe out there!

Really would love to see the older games come back on today consoles ps4 and ps5, wwf no mercy, wrestlemania xix, day of reckoning 1&2, wcw nwo revenge, njpw game that got The same wwf no mercy engine i think, here comes The pain, i really wanna see what aew will bring to the table with their game hopefully something like those gems ✌️

those jumping fails gave me AVGN Silver Surfer vibes.

These games are my childhood. Sure, the PS2 Smackdown games are probably better and more refine (and I also grew up with those games) but I always found these games to be very underrated. I especially love how in WM19 (and in the Day of Reckoning games) you can completely create your own entrances with a created wrestler before the main series WWE games did that feature. Back as a kid, that was amazing!

Damn that footage looks fantastic in HD.

Was waiting for this anxiously!!!! Thank You.

I played my Wrestlemania X8 disc so much that the damn thing broke. Loved that game as a kid.

The similar storyline of WM XIX, fighting people backstage with arcade beat em up type gameplay reminds me of Gameboy Color game WWF Betrayal.

Long live Shao khan the greatest wrestler to live

Great video, such nostalgia. And looking forward to Day of reckoning, highly underated wrestling game.

My long held theory about revenge mode is both a work and a shoot the bosses are just ovw guys and the security guards are just rookies breaking in and each mission is just a segment on raw each week to build hype for the wrestlemainia 19 main event it’s brilliant

I remember playing these games so much when they came out, Revenge mode was awesome but I definitely remember raging out alot hahaha, I remember using Brock and just F5 Guards all the time.

Seems ill watch your video game reviews alot more than 1 time ! 😊

The things I love about Wrestlemania 19 is the revenge mode and also the alternate costume each character has. That game was so much fun. I still remember playing them with my sisters and cousins.

This inspired me to dig my old gamecube out from childhood and order xix and Day of reckoning 2. Coming next week, can’t freakin wait lol

GameCube was ahead of its time. Right now remakes of classic games like resident evil 2 and 3 or GAMECUBE was doing this with this system like the remake of resident evil 1 was amazing still to this day 😀 👏. Nice video about wrestling on the GameCube.

13:00 even in games, Ric Flair is a psycho.

I play long videos from my subscribed channels on at night in hopes to fall asleep to them. I end up paying full attention to yours and regretting in at work the next day.

Great retrospective. Great revisiting these games after many years. These have aged really well and cool to collect for. The footage looks surprisingly great for what it is. Thanks for the upload. ✌🏻🙂

I remember playing them back in the day. WM18 I must of played a hand full of times but WM19 & Day of Reckoning I played for ages. The Revenge mode is absolutely brilliant. Thanks making this video. Usually it's always American KZreadrs.

Man the nostalgia I loved 19

I changed the taunts for the wrestlers in x8 without my friend knowing. He owned the game, so it was super hilarious when Hollywood Hogan stopped his beat down of Steve Austin to execute a perfect spinaroonie.

I absolutely loved this game played it to death for many sleep overs with 4 Player multi player , never knew benoit was unlockable

Can't wait for the Day of Reckoning video!

Love the intro music on this channel!

Legends of Wrestling was my fav gamecube game as a kid

Nice, I still have the x8 disc I borrowed from a friend in 2005 and forgot about lol

WrestleMania 18 was one of my favorite WWE games

Wonderful job and congratulations with 115 k subs.

WrestleMania XIX is one of the hidden gems as far as wrestling video games.

Wrestlemania 19s revenge mode... mannnnn i spent so many hours messing around there! Wish it came back to some capacity.

loved these games so much

man I remember feeling scammed after I got wrestlemania x8 on gamecube coming off No Mercy on n64

I loved Wrestlemania XIX, it gave me the No Mercy vibe.

Wrestlemania 19 had amazing gameplay and customization. Also the best roster.

WrestleMania 18 for the GameCube was the last game that featured the WWF logo and Banner

Can’t wait for the next series

13:21 should be renamed "Bischoff mode".

you can play gamecube on your phone too using a ps4 controller. I play it on my galaxy alot and mirror it to my tv

These games were underrated. Glad I grew up with them as a kid.

Wrestling Bios Rocks Love the retro game vids brother

I enjoy these pal!

I stayed up all night to play these games on my purple Game Cube console. I enjoyed playing 18x but 19x was so different. The graphics were so arcade like but all of the superstars look amazing imo. The game play in 19 was pretty fluid considering it being around 03' and you could have intergender matches. Oh every person had alternate attires. Something I miss in wrestling games.

Man I used to play these! This was a trip down memory lane for me

Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 for the gamecube are my favorite games with sd hctp and no mercy 64 but the Day of Reckoning Saga is A Masterpiece

why the hell am i watching this. cheers from detroit!

I only bought day of reckoning 2, because Stacy Kiebler was on the cover. I litteraly knew nothing about it. But I won a battle royale and a ladder match and those rewards were well worth the efforts.

Boy was wrestlemania XIX keeping me busy before my first own Copy of Smackdown vs Raw and then again SvR 07

I still have my player's guide for WrestleMania XIX. I loved that game. I played so many different wrestling game back then. My favorites were WCW vs NWO World Tour and Revenge, WWF No Mercy, WrestleMania XIX, Day of Reckoning 1 & 2, and SmackDown vs Raw 06 and 07. I actually just got a copy of Here Comes the Pain and I can't wait to play it.

I still have my old copy of x8 with the stone cold,rvd cover.. I never even knew they made a sequel especially a game about my favorite wrestmania xix.. day of reckoning was my jam since I had a gamecube and my brother had a ps2 so he had the smackdown games

I don’t care what anybody says but Revenge Mode for XIX is the most fun you can have playing a wrestling game. Love, love, love that game!!!

These game retrospectives are a lot of fun. Never had a Gamecube, so it's neat to see what I missed out on. Of course, I still view Revenge, WM2K, and No Mercy as essentially perfect.

Two of the best rosters in these games. Also that Stacy model in 19 is horrifying.

That garage area with the swinging chains filled me with a blistering rage when I was a kid. Looking back I honestly don't think I've ever completed it. The Day of Reckoning games were the cream of the crop on Gamecube. I loved those games almost as much as I hated WrestleMania XIX.

My favorite Gamecube Wrestling Games were WM19 and Legends of Wrestling.

Fantastic review here, really highlights my feelings on both games well, I played XIX a ton as a kid and even now I'll sometimes pop it in and have fun for a few minutes. One extra thing about the Revenge Mode that's worth mentioning is that there are 2 completion bonuses. When you complete it for the first time you unlock EX Special Moves in the game. EX Special Moves serve to let some wrestlers on the roster perform an alternate finisher from a position that they already have one in. The most notable example here being Undertaker's EX special being the Tombstone. However EX Special moves require that you have 3 finishers stored and to activate them, you must press L and R along with A and B and it'll use all 3 slots and then you perform finishers like normal. Another unlockable is obtained upon a 2nd playthrough of Revenge Mode, completing it a 2nd time unlocks the Revenge Camera for Exhibition. The Revenge Camera basically means you can use the rotating camera during matches, this obviously only works if you're playing Exhibition alone. It's a neat addition although it can be weird for sure.

I love when you go back and play these. Some of these games bring back more memories for me then the WWF/WCW TV programming. Would you consider doing WWF Warzone or Attitude? These two in particular were huge for me as a kid. I know that you’ve mentioned them before. Great content as always!

I love the innovation of the grapple strikes on top of the x8 system, which heavily borrows from No Mercy mechanics. What makes it more interesting is the fact that AKI was simplifying their mechanics for their Def Jam and Ultimate Muscle fighting games; removing selling animations, adding a submission bar and making their old animations more fluid to fit the the new games they were making (there were no video game licenses to be had after Vince bought WCW from under them and EA,) etc. Meanwhile Yuke's is here with two former AKI guys on lead design and they're building upward- making new beautiful hand drawn move animations and adding them to their x8 library, which looks like it was built on some smoothed out animations, some from the SD series.

That intro theme took me back to WM14

Your vids are a1 my dude love it

Yes- Memories 😔 out of all these mission - Jumping from one to one is the most difficult mode

Who does your intro music, its always so good!

I didnt get a ps2 until like late 07. I was still playing shut your mouth in 09. Wrestlemania 19 was the first WWE game I had of my own

Forgot all about wrestlemania 19 until this popped up. The memories

Also make video for smackdown shut your mouth and smackdown Here comes the pain on later uploads. Your channel rules man!

My childhood memories 😍😍 Mum wouldn’t get a ps2 😂

Owned both, loved both.

your copies of each game are SO clean lol mine look like trash lol

Nice vid, could you also talk about WWE games on the Xbox?

[An exemplary diagnosis.Well done!]

Do you plan on doing the wwe day of reckoning games too?

I had an x8 and 19 for cube. I enjoyed them. It is what you make of it. I'm not a game snob.
