From: transients | #300 Well, among wrestling fans, it's popular. There's just no way of knowing how many wrestling fans there are here! --- "Spoil it for me. I'm never going to play that game so I want to know if he's going to be another Auron or another Sin." - Soul about PW/Jecht |

I
mean, I guess if I were thinking "logically," I'd probably go with Fire
Emblem since sports games aren't popular here, and wrestling is
essentially a "sport." I'd say it's more popular than Madden or
something, but yeah. --- "Hold on a minute! That testimony stinks!" "Witness! You can't just say 'Hello' and expect us to get anywhere! I want you to testify!" |

It's
an N64 game, which makes it really really different from sports games
like Madden. Moderately popular N64 game is good enough for me to form
a conclusion on this match. --- Crono > Sephiroth. 7 years of waiting, and perhaps many more to go. Remain steadfast. |

I
think it's also probably like RBY in a weird way that WWF No Mercy is
probably bigger than THQ's wrestling-series in the same way RBY's
probably bigger than the Pokemon-series. It is really a shining star
among wrestling fans (which I don't identify with anymore, but once
did) that, to my knowledge, hasn't even been close to challenged. --- Nominate Epona, please. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

I wish that the Do you watch professional wrestling? poll had been run more recently than this. http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=1678 I like to think that the No, but I used to people watched in 98-01 and would have at least probably enjoyed a wrestling game at some point, and that game would most likely be No Mercy In my mind, I think a current WWE Smackdown vs Raw game would lose to a Fire Emblem, but if you take a game that is from around the period most people watched WWF, it could be enough to win. --- http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4839/drfc.png http://img.imgcake.com/drfootballpngru.png |

From: ZFS | #306 I think there was WCW VS NWO World Tour (the original, which WAS terrible outside of the secret boxer you could get at the end of the game) and WCW/NWO Revenge (where THQ started to find their direction). Don't know if I remember a Nitro or not! --- Where's your horse? http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

worse than Conker? worse than Donkey Kong 64? The list isn't fool-proof, but people do need to stop acting as if No Mercy was a third tier N64 game, based on the list it was closer to 5th. --- BOP Topic: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/56645390 BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls |

FE7
may have special place in the hearts of the fans for being the first to
come to NA, but PoR pretty much gave the fans what they wanted. There's
a reason why Ike was chosen as a representative of the series for Brawl. To market Radiant Dawn like Roy was used to market FE6? Well I guess SSBB did come out about a year afterwards in Japan. In any case, whatever reasons were used for choosing to put Ike in SSBB have nothing to do with GameFAQs. --- "Let me believe what you've always believed! That living is wonderful!"

wrestling games for me. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

From: ZFS | #321 There was a WWF Raw and a WWF Wrestlemania game. The WWF Raw one was more serious wrestling, the Wrestlemania one was like the Smash Bros. version of a wrestling game with ridiculous over the top moves and such. --- http://i.imgur.com/CbfFb.jpg |

put
it this way -- people are playing a lot more old FE games than No

in here. --- xyzzy |

Yeah,
Fire Emblem strikes me as the much safer pick. I'm not sure how many
people care about some old N64 wrestling game over a decently popular
RPG series from Nintendo, unless maybe WWF hits some joke status or
something then we might need to look at this again. --- A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. |

I don't want to count No Mercy out - I think nostalgia will drive this game pretty far. people will see it and say "whoa! hell yeah!". but I don't know if there's enough of that. --- xyzzy |

From: LeonhartFour | #319 Oh...then no thanks! I remember trying WWF Attitude and just being upset about how bad it was in comparison to even WCW VS NWO World Tour; Acclaim just didn't have it. Don't remember Nitro unless it was one of those early Xbox-games. From: transients | #326 I fired it up about two weeks ago and have been making a new character to prepare for the story-mode! To be fair, the contest-season and Guru-choice motivated me, so I don't know about how other people feel...but hell yeah, it's still fun for me. Somewhat related, I remember a rumor about a year ago maybe that there were talks of re-releasing WWF No Mercy with updated rosters, and that rumor made people bounce off the walls with joy for a little bit. --- Take seven seconds to think of Epona's Song, please. http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/3492/eponaharr.jpg |

PoR
has Ike. Highest played character from one of the most played games of
this console generation..Ike represents honor, bravery and loyalty to
family and friendship. The WWF cast represents low-life guilty
pleasures and dark times that turn people into alcoholics. If PoR
losses, so does society. |
