Gameplay: Wrestlemania - The Arcade Game - Sega MegaDrive

[verbalengine95]

no offense but i respect how you can lose every time and be happy out of appreciation of the game

[XFile2708]

@verbalengine95 lol - yes my gameplays are merely to showcase the games being played - nothing more :)

[ymeyoful]

I still love this game. and the combos and sounds.

My childhood game.

[XFile2708]

@ymeyoful Yes its probably one of my favourite wrestling games on the Mega Drive... :)

[wiicoolalways]

I remember the roster in this game was so outdated by the time it came out for the home consoles. At the time, in late 1995, Diesel had been WWF Champion for a year, and he wasn't even in this game.

[XFile2708]

@wiicoolalways I really must get my eyes checked... I read this initially as rooster not roster... lol

[wiicoolalways]

@XFile2708 I guess I should get my eyes checked too. When I first read your reply, I thought you said that you were mad because the Red Rooster wasn't in the game. lol

[XFile2708]

@bad74maverick I used to love playing it in the arcades - maybe we could swap to help you out with the more room you need... lol

[jdigitalseven]

I remember this game being on free play at the bowling alley. The graphics were really good and it was over the top. Bam Bam had that fire move from the top rope that was powerful.

[XFile2708]

Yes definately not what you normally get from a wrestling game - well worth picking up matey :)

[Retrosofer]

I got Super Wrestle Mania on Mega Drive, its ok as far as i remmember, think this game looks better though.

[XFile2708]

Yes this game is definately a whole lot better than Super WM.... this is the best of the wrestling games on the MD from what I've seen... :)

[LMA187]

I usually prefer the SNES version over the Genesis version of most games that come out for both but the Megadrive/Genesis version I would have to say is much better than the SNES version for this title.

Great video man =]

[XFile2708]

Thanks matey - yes I'd agree looks like the MD got the better of the conversions :)

[Snestastic]

I like the look of this one brother, the character models are excellent, really cool animation and mad special moves :)

[XFile2708]

Indeed matey - kind of a cross between wrestling and Mortal Kombat... lol

[Snestastic]

lol great minds thats exactly what i was thinking when watching the vid :)

[XFile2708]

lol - fair play matey... still a nice price :)

[GamingExtreme187]

holy shit that ring is  hugeeeeeeee lol top vid

[XFile2708]

Yes its crazy isn't it... probably double the size of a normal one... lol

[jdbruiser]

are you getting smackdown vs. raw 2010?

[XFile2708]

Doubtful - im not a fan of the Smackdown series...

[jdbruiser]

fair enough i have doubts about smackdown because its mainly the same each time but 2010 seems like LBP when considering the story designer, so that has to be the best of the buch, not discounting here comes the pain.

[XFile2708]

I'll keep an eye out for the demo and maybe decide from there :)

[jdbruiser]

there isn't a demo for it unfortunately, you could take a look at some vids that could persuade you to buy or rent it.

[XFile2708]

Yes I'll maybe check out some vids on here :)

[XFile2708]

Good man - definately a game worth picking up :)

[BlooditeDrakan]

Hahahaha man I played the hell out of this back in the day. I bat it with Yokozuna. Great video dude, Shawn Michaels really had you swearing up a storm!

(Also, how the hell does he throw a sumo wrestler over his shoulder?!)

[XFile2708]

lol - great game isn't it matey :D

lol - yes that was a bit crazy - still a hell of a lot of fun though...haha

[tyzwain]

The game definitely looks the bees knees. You gotten any further yet matey?

[XFile2708]

Not yet - it was late last night when I did the vid so not been back down the gamesroom yet... :)

[fletcha13]

Man this brings back memories. I had this back in the day and played it all the time. The commentator screaming "pin him" always cracked me up :)

[XFile2708]

lol - yes its a great little game... got to be the best of the wrestling games out there I'd say :)

[mafiosotucanazo]

That's a fun game, I only have the one for the 32x somewhere around...I like how you can do an uppercut and send them in the air.

[XFile2708]

lol - yes there's some very 'mortal kombat' style moves :D

[therealAgerbon]

a nice little title

[XFile2708]

Definately one to pick up if you can matey :)

[mutronics1]

I picked up a copy after watching your package vid mate, i just hope that i dont have to wait too long, with Royal mails strikes, cos i just cant wait to play it again.

I absolutely love the style of it, it's Awesome!

[XFile2708]

Nice one matey - did you get it a good price?

[mutronics1]

I got the Genny version for £7.99 free p&p

it looked to be in good shape, i just wanna play the thing lol =)

[jugghead82]

AWESOME vid Bro this game is one my favs.

[XFile2708]

Thanks matey - definately one i'll be going back to play a lot more of :)

[Drexus80]

I'm sure I remember this too, me and my mates used to have some great sessions on it, although I'm not sure if it was on the ps1 or not. Nice vid, thought you had hbk at the end there. :)

[XFile2708]

lol - same here... I think i'll revisit it today and see if I can work out some of the special moves and kick his ass... haha

[Noyjeetut]

Ya. weird it don't count 3. That ring looks huge. I love doink. I think I've played this if it has Scott Hall and that awesome Shake the rug move.

[XFile2708]

lol - yes it seems double the size that its supposed to be but still a fantastic game :D

[oliverjdavis]

cool vid! I remember playing this back in the day & being mesmerised by the graphics!

[XFile2708]

Yes like I said in the vid I vaguely remember playing this in the arcades and this is a pretty good conversion... :)

[interghost]

Sounds like a button basher classic to me mate ha ha.. nice game play matey cheers ;o)

[XFile2708]

lol - sure is matey... great arcade feel to it - plays really well :D

[XFile2708]

Well as im going for a full PAL collection it'll have to be bought at some point... lol

[markvergeer]

Just saw a wrestlemania by Yethboth on the ZX Spectrum. Now on the Megadrive this sure looks different. This game looks better than I expected, nice animations.

[XFile2708]

This is a great version matey - graphics are very Mortal Kombat in their style.... well worth picking up :)

[XFile2708]

lol - I think thats the only one I haven't got... I've got Royal Rumble and The Arcade versions... :)

[lair99]

i see u like ya wrestling game wot do u think ov the mordern day smackdown games ?

[XFile2708]

Can't stand them to be honest matey - love the older conole versions... but the Smackdown series on 360 and PSP just doesn't do it for me....

[lair99]

i feel the same about them because there is on justifcation to buy it every year just for a few new wrestlers and the gameplay stays the same but smackdown vs raw 2010 is loooking very gd :] cant wait to get it on friday

[MrBeJeCa95]

Looks fun!

[XFile2708]

Certainly is matey - even better when I can suss out some of the special moves... lol

[XFile2708]

Well worth picking it up if you can track it down matey :)

[yethboth]

Great Video mate. :) Wrestlemania looks pretty impressive graphics, sound and gameplay wise on the Megadrive. :)

[XFile2708]

Yes great all-round game - hopefully I can track down the special moves for it and then it'll be a whole lot better :)
