WCW/nWo Revenge is a blast from the past and a wrestling fan's dream come true on the N64! The roster is stacked with legends, the simple but fun grappling system is still a riot, and the create-a-wrestler mode was revolutionary for its time. It shows its age a little with some wonky visuals and limited match types, but for pure nostalgic wrestling fun, WCW/nWo Revenge still delivers.
Had to bust this out in honor of Sting’s final match. Long live the Stinger!
It's very interesting to see how much AKI Productions improved this game in the span of a year based on the tremendous success that the previous game (World Tour) had. Just about every component is a massive improvement starting with graphics (more details in character models, signature entrances, better animations, more detailed background and stages, crowds, etc), better sound, improved gameplay, and added game modes.
Admittedly, AKI went on to further improve said mechanics in future games that had the WWF/WWE licenses but on a personal level I was a WCW/nWO fan and this is where the gaming wrestling genre peaked for me. The roster that WCW simply can't be beat since it featured a mix of wrestling legends like Hogan and Flair but also had a good combination of new and upcoming stars like Goldberg and Kidman. This game is not only a fun time but also a trip down nostalgia lane to a time where the wrestling industry as a whole peaked.

Like everyone has said, this game is missing entrances, a character creator and a robust season mode from being a perfect game.
Almost perfect but missing a great story mode & Create a wrestler
whoever traded the cart in had 100%d it already lmao
