I know people are nostalgic for WWF No Mercy. When it came out, it was cutting edge. It pushed the N64 as far as it could go with wrestling games. It had an impressively comprehensive roster and fleshed out their movesets. It was also cooler to play with your friends because wrestling was hot.
Those circumstances aren’t replicable. The N64 is not cutting edge technology anymore. Wrestling is less popular than its ever been. The roster is not comprehensive. It’s likely going to be years out of date. Hell, the guy on the cover joined the company two years into development and is already gone before release. The commands might be similar to what you liked, but it’s going to feel outmoded and clunky compared to how guys work in 2022. Each guy has 8 basic moves? Each guy does more than that every match they have.
The answer to chasing this dragon isn’t a mini-game where you input button commands to get your character’s avatar to do the YMCA ffs. If you’ve got room to do that, put some more effort into your fucking roster.
You can’t even replicate the Stadium Stampede match if you wanted to. Over half Jericho’s team isn’t in the game.
