WWF No Mercy

Game Overview
WWF No Mercy came out on the Nintendo 64 in 2000, developed by AKI Corporation and published by THQ. It was one of the last big wrestling games on the system, arriving at a time when the N64 library was deep with multiplayer favorites. The roster was packed with Attitude Era stars, and it felt like a direct, polished follow-up to earlier AKI efforts like WCW/nWo Revenge.You control a wrestler, either a real WWF superstar or a created one, and the main goal is to win matches across various modes, including a lengthy championship story. The gameplay hinges on a strong grappling system where you lock up, choose weak or strong moves, and execute slams, slaps, or submissions. Signature mechanics include taunting to build special meters, performing finishers when the meter is full, and interacting with foreign objects like steel chairs or title belts. The pacing is deliberate, with a focus on positioning and momentum rather than frantic button mashing, and the difficulty can spike sharply in later story branches. It feels like a physical, tactical brawl where every reversal and big move has weight.
