# WWF No Mercy (2000, N64) - The Attitude Era Wrestling Pinnacle **Release Year:** 2000 (North America/Europe), 2001 (Japan) **Platform:** Nintendo 64 (N64) **Meta Description:** **Tags:** Wrestling, Action, Single-Player, Multiplayer, Retro *WWF No Mercy*, released on November 17, 2000, for the N64 by THQ and AKI Corporation, is a professional wrestling game set during the WWF’s Attitude Era, building on *WWF WrestleMania 2000* (1999). Featuring over 60 wrestlers (e.g., Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, Kane, Mankind, Chris Jericho, Chyna), it offers modes like Exhibition (Singles, Tag Team, Cage, Ladder, Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, Guest Referee, Iron Man), Championship Mode (story-driven career paths for WWF, Intercontinental, Tag Team, Women’s, Hardcore, and European titles), and Survival Mode (100-man Royal Rumble). With enhanced Create-a-Wrestler, full entrances, backstage areas, and a SmackDown Mall for unlocks, it uses AKI’s grappling system (A/B for strikes, analog stick for grapples). It sold over 1.5 million copies and was critically acclaimed (*GameRankings*: 91%, *IGN*: 9/10) for its depth and polish, though audio compression and occasional slowdown were noted (*Famitsu*: 30/40). No official re-release exists, but it’s widely emulated. ## Why Play WWF No Mercy (2000, N64)? *WWF No Mercy* delivers refined wrestling action with a massive roster and deep modes. Championship Mode offers branching storylines (e.g., betrayals, title defenses) across six title paths, taking 2-4 hours per campaign, with choices affecting outcomes (e.g., joining Vince McMahon’s faction). Exhibition Mode supports varied matches (e.g., Royal Rumble with up to four players, Ladder for high-flying moves), while Survival Mode challenges players to eliminate 100 opponents. Create-a-Wrestler allows extensive customization (moves, attires, entrances, belts), with up to 18 slots. The grappling system supports combos, finishers (e.g., Triple H’s Pedigree), taunts, and weapons (e.g., chairs, tables) in Hardcore or backstage areas (e.g., parking lot). Matches last 5-15 minutes, with multiplayer and unlocks (e.g., Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon) boosting replayability. Its detailed 3D models, Titantron videos, and Attitude Era vibe shine, though cartridge-limited audio and complex controls may challenge newcomers. X posts praise its storylines, customization, and multiplayer as the N64’s best wrestling game. ## Key Features - Play as over 60 WWF superstars (e.g., Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, Kane, Chris Jericho); 18 custom wrestler slots - Modes: Exhibition (Singles, Tag Team, Cage, Ladder, Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, Guest Referee, Iron Man), Championship, Survival - Create-a-Wrestler: Customize moves, attires, entrances, belts; SmackDown Mall for unlocks (e.g., Ho, Andre the Giant) - Grappling system with combos, finishers (e.g., Rock’s People’s Elbow), taunts; backstage areas, weapons - Four-player support via multitap; Rumble Pak compatible; stat tracking in Championship - Experience authentic N64 gameplay on our retro ROM platform ## Key Differences: WWF No Mercy vs. Other WWF Games - **Compared to WWF WrestleMania 2000 (1999, N64)**: *No Mercy* has a larger roster (60+ vs. 50+), branching Championship storylines vs. linear Road to WrestleMania, backstage areas, Ladder matches, and Survival Mode; *WrestleMania 2000* has better entrances (fuller Titantron videos) per X posts. - **Compared to WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (1995, SNES)**: *No Mercy* is a wrestling sim with realistic moves, deeper roster (60+ vs. 6), and story-driven modes; *Arcade Game* is a *Mortal Kombat*-style fighter with exaggerated moves (e.g., Doink’s joy buzzer). - **Compared to WWF Road to WrestleMania (2001, GBA)**: *No Mercy* offers 3D graphics, more wrestlers (60+ vs. 24), complex controls, and broader modes (e.g., Ladder, Survival vs. Hardcore); GBA has simpler 2D gameplay and portability. - **Regional Notes**: Japan’s version (2001) identical, titled *WWF No Mercy*; no *Probotector*-style changes. ## Play WWF No Mercy (2000, N64) Online Step into the ring today!
