About WCW/nWo Revenge
WCW/nWo Revenge is a 1998 wrestling game from Asmik Ace Entertainment and THQ. Set in the chaotic world of professional wrestling, it features over 60 wrestlers including WCW and NWO stars like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker. The game blends arcade-style combat with simulation elements, letting players battle in arenas, customize costumes, and use hidden weapons. A standout 40-man Battle Royale mode and split-screen multiplayer define its appeal. Released for Nintendo 64, it’s a product of late-90s wrestling mania, offering a chaotic, over-the-top experience with instant replay and roster updates. Ideal for fans of wrestling’s golden era.
Gameplay
The game revolves around 1v1 or 4v4 matches with moves like suplexes and powerbombs triggered via button combos. Split-screen mode allows two players to brawl locally, a feature that still feels fun for chaotic couch co-op. Each match mixes timing-based dodges, timed strikes, and occasional weapon use (like tables or kendo sticks). The 40-man Battle Royale sees players eliminate opponents in a free-for-all, often ending in wild pile-ups. Roster editing and customizable entrance animations add depth. Controls are responsive but sometimes clunky, and the AI opponents follow predictable patterns. Matches rarely last longer than five minutes, encouraging quick, repeated sessions.
What Players Think
Community ratings hover at 7.2/10, with 82% of players completing the game and 44% earning all 28 achievements. Average playtime is 12 hours, skewed toward Battle Royale and split-screen modes. Moods are split: 48% nostalgia, 35% fun, 17% frustration. Critics note dated polygonal graphics and stiff animations, but praise the roster depth. One review calls it “a time capsule of 90s wrestling absurdity,” while another calls the controls “unforgiving.” The game’s Twitch rank (#33) suggests niche appeal, with 78% completion rate highlighting its replayability.
PlayPile's Take
WCW/nWo Revenge is a niche choice for wrestling die-hards and retro fans. At $9.99, it’s a low-risk buy, offering 28 achievements and 12 hours of gameplay. The split-screen mode is its strongest asset, but outdated visuals and repetitive AI might deter newcomers. If you crave chaotic 90s wrestling or want to test local multiplayer nostalgia, it’s worth a try. Not a modern classic, but a solid relic of its era.
