The game boasts one of the best story modes ever made. Coincidentally, around that time EA was looking for a partner for a fighting game based around the Def Jam Recordings label.
While the first game is great, the sequel, Fight for New York , is superior in every way. The game plays like a faster, more cartoonish version of the N64 wrestling games, but with a bunch of rappers. Danny Trejo and Carmen Electra are there too for some reason. Older WWE games used to allow for inter-gender matches and had more options for hardcore options.
They included stuff like inferno matches, where the goal was literally to set your opponent on fire. In Here Comes the Pain , you could actually throw your opponent off a building, hitch a ride on a helicopter, and then perform an elbow drop off of the helicopter. The story mode featured more than 40 of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time. AKI was at the top of its game here, crafting a perfectly paced and accessible game with depth that fans are still mastering.

Twenty years after the fact, it boasts a passionate modding community that has rebuilt the game in numerous ways. They added new textures, developed modern rosters, among other endeavors to keep the game relevant.
While there have been other wrestling video games on the Nintendo 64, the line of titles developed by Asmik Ace and AKI is unquestionably the most memorable. They provided fans with arcade-like experiences; games that were easy to pick up and play but took time to truly master. Even with nostalgia aside, these are great games to experience. Next time, we will shift our focus to handhelds, as we revisit some of the wrestling games that hit the Game Boy family of systems.
