WWF No Mercy Coming To The Wii?

Quartermann: remember THQ's N64 wrestler No Mercy? It's coming back.
By 1UP Staff, 11/09/2007

It's Friday and we're all still reeling from the news that NPD numbers won't be gracing us in the weeks ahead, but as the latest issue of EGM falls into subscriber hands, the Quartermann's able to bring you the latest rumors. And lest we forget, Quartermann was right on the money about Bionic Commando.


This month, an old rumor resurfaces in a new form, as BioShock is apparently back on for PlayStation 3. Previously, it'd been speculated that Microsoft tied up 2K Games' aquatic adventure as an exclusive, but there's a change in the tide, as the world of Rapture may be Cell-enabled in 2008, after all.

And while Metal Gear fans are pouting over the most recent Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots delay, Kojima Productions hasn't been snoozing about taking the series in other directions. While everyone else is taking their franchises to Nintendo DS, Metal Gear is sticking to PSP, with a brand-new (that's not a spin-off) game headed to the portable, this time taking Snake back to the early days of his career.

We'll leave you with two last tidbits. One, THQ's WWF: No Mercy for the Nintendo 64 is coming back via the WiiWare service with completely updated rosters. Two, the lackluster performance of Sonic the Hedgehog hasn't deterred Sega; they're already hard at work at another "real" Sonic game. 2D, please!

See you next month, and make sure to check out the latest issue of EGM's special holiday "Games Overload" issue, landing in the hands of subscribers any day now

That would be awesome if that happened, as No Mercy is considered THE best WWE/F game ever by many folks. =D

...an updated roster? o.O

What's the point then having the true thing if we're just getting a game that doesn't have the wrestlers back in the day?!? If that is what I am thinking, then it should be a WiiWare title and disregard it as a N64 port.

Well, a lot of the old wrestlers are either now in TNA/no longer with WWE or dead, so really they proberly cannot use a lot of the old names.

Still, hope they leave some of the old ones they can leave in like The Rock or Steve Austin.

Well granted, but back then they didn't had Eddie or Chris. Weren't they in WCW back in the time anyway?

[Angelic Lapras King]

I m pretty sure they were in the original game... o.o

Never tested No Mercy but played the crap outta WCW/nWo Revenge. Man this gonna be fun.

I'd like to play this, As I have Played every WWF/E game on the Playstation & PS2, so I sorta Stayed away from the N64, How are the controls, Are they like the old Smackdown type, or are they different, Could you elaborate on them?

PS: A Mii wrestling Game would be something I'd like, THQ if your reading this Hint hint?

We d proberly get Wii Wrestling from Nintendo, rather then THQ.

Not sure about the controls. Never played the SD games till SD Vs Raw 06.

[coire]

Yeah, But THQ and Yukes are the pioneers of 3D wrestling games. Before they created the Smackdown series, we were playing 3D Wrestling games like they were street Fighter. Hardly a good 3D Fighting control scheme. Mii wrestling would have to use classic controls; I hate the new 'wii specific' controls... More control over your wrestler? LIES.

Brilliant news, I remember back in the day playing this game as much as I could with my mate (he had the N64, i had a Playstation).

No Mercy and the other wrestling games for the N64 are totally different to the smackdown ones. For one the graphics weren't so hot, which didn't bother me, simply because the gameplay was far more realistic (Ironic saying realistic when talking about wrestling) :P. Simply put when you got hit with a chair you stayed down! not like bloody smackdown hit with a chair 10 times and stil lget right back up.

Smackdown is basically an arcade wrestlign game, No Mercy was a simulation.
