So much of the magic of WWF No Mercy was in the time. Wrestling was hot and people cared enough to play with you. It was also fitting for the N64 platform at the time. I get people want to go back, but trying to make a game that looks like that and mimics what would now be seen as limitations is not necessarily a good move. You take what works and move it forward appropriately.
Maybe this grossly over-budget game that has seen the lead developer jump ship is that? It does LOOK like a bare-bones, less colorful No Mercy. But it’s got a LONG way to go to capture the charm. And stupid mini-games aren’t going to do it.
