WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game Longplay (Arcade) [4K]

Of all the (retro) licensed wrestling games I’ve played, I still consider this to be the absolute pinnacle. Even in an age where 3D was becoming all the rage, the quality and clarity of Midway’s digitisation techniques really shine here. Being able to recognise your favourite wrestlers, complete with costumes and attire, is vitally important, and that couldn’t really be achieved with 3D at the time.
Midway also nailed the gameplay, capturing the feel of the live bouts. Each wrestler has a roster of standard kicks, punches and throws, plus quite a number of special moves. Learning the combinations to unleash devastating combos, not to mention reversals to prevent yourself ending up face-first in the canvas, are vitally important, and is perhaps the one criticism I have of the game; with 5 buttons and so many moves, games more often descend into bouts of button mashing and furious stick waggling than demonstrations of serious skill.
Gripes aside, this really is a great arcade game. Slapping opponents silly, accompanied by play-by-play commentary from the ringside colour commentators, is great fun and highly recommended!

No one picked Doink lol 😂
Why didn't you go down the stage and grab some chairs?
DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!!! THROW. BACK.
Doink is always my nemesis. He always uses his stupid fat feet & hands.
No body messes with the bad guy. (Razor Ramon)
Ебашили на Сеге еще на черно-белом телевизоре было время..
This will be how WWE 2k22 roster will look
Doink: PUT 'ER THERE, PAL!!
These graphics are tight
Favorite wrestling game of all time!!!
A bigger roster would of been nuts
Игра улёт, управление тока надо заучииь
It’s like Pit Fighter but better
I have to say 8 choices is more enjoyable. 60 players is too much.
Bam Bam was taking more slaps to the face than Christy Mack…………………
I'm sorry.
А почему без комбо ?
I loved going to the arcade to play this!! The console versions didn't compare to the arcade version.
Can you tell me how to get this version ?
These are the most realistic characters I have seen in the wwe games
Rats they never revealed in the credits who played those gifted and talented actors.
It's fitting the final ending is Undertaker vs. Undertaker.
Goat
So many nights spent on my ps1 playing this. The feels
Wow I remember this!! I had it on Super Nintendo!!
You talking to the bad guy? RR
This was basically Mortal Kombat with WWF/E characters. It was fun, nonetheless not a wrestling game imo.
Yeahh Top game mfg daweedo dave 😊😊😊
WWF in your house
I guess that's the name printed on CD
This is basically mortal Kombat lol
I'm just now realizing after all the smoking mirrors and hype clear, just how terrible this game is, but still a classic too
Sega wayyyyyyyyy
Damn. I Really like that game and I played WWF WrestleMania Arcade when I was a kid. I wish they need more WWF wrestlers like Diesel, The 1-2-3 Kid, The British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Sycho Sid, King Mabel, and Jeff Jarrett to make it like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 with more characters and NBA Jam Tournament Edition with more NBA Players.
Imagine if that Undertaker sprite was a playable character in MK2
On my god! I remember this game, this shit was hard as fuck.
Super impressive
This performs better than most WWE games in the last two decades lol
I don't understand why they can't use these photo realistic graphics and put them in a modern game.this was like 93 and the graphics look better than anything now
lol not 4k
You better like handicap matches if you want to win this game.
How i wish its on switch. Really played alot of this.
Very energic
When the old classics are still more fun to play then the new stuff
arcade wrestling game DONE RIGHT
I always thought that fatality-esque thing where he puts them in the tomb was just a urban legend guess I was wrong. Mind blown!!
This was boring I was here for Shawn Michaels ❤️ I’m glad they all retired lol
This is soo cool
