    One of your first ever Worst Games Ever was the awful Simpsons Skateboarding game and now you've come full circle with an awful Simpsons Wrestling Game

    Matt McMuscles did an episode of What Happened about this game last year, for what was supposed to basically be a cheap cash-in kids game it had a surprisingly troubled development. One of the more interesting parts is that a bunch of dialogue submitted by the Simpsons crew had to be thrown out because some of the lines they came up with were “too graphic and offensive” to put in the game.

    An interview in the UK magazine Retro Gamer suggests that this game was extremely rushed and had some strict rules as to its design and making. They even knew Ned was a problem and didn't have time to correct it!

    I was so damn excited for this game when it came out, raced to EB Games when they opened, bought it, ran home, played for an hour, and returned it to the store.
    Only time I've ever done that in my 30 years of playing games. You would think the combo of my two favorite things at the time would be amazing, but they shit the bed on it so hard.

    Played this a lot as a child, like others I remember ridiculously hard fights (Bumblebee Man, Smithers and Mr Burns, Ned Flanders) but it did teach me strategy at least.
    Start with Groundskeeper Willie, use the rake from distance. As soon as I beat Bumblebee Man, switch to Bumblebee Man ans use the dog as much as possible (again distance attack). As soon as I beat Ned Flanders, switch to Ned Flanders and use the prayer attack when possible.
    Not great if you want close up fighting, but it did teach me to cheese games a bit which came in use later in my gaming life (KOTOR and KOTOR 2, get to force heal and sith lighting, spam them while running away)

    There are some excellent behind the scenes videos about what happened with this game, I'd suggest giving them a look. The poor developers put a lot of work into this that they had to throw away because of studio meddling from Fox executives. It also doesn't help that some school shootings happened during development so anything school related had to be pretty much removed as well.

    I played this game for longer than I should've as a kid. I think I did enjoy it somewhat but the same way someone might develop stockholm syndrome. The fact you didn't get to Ned Flanders though really is a shame, that's the moment most PS1 kid owners with this game realised that life is just not fucking fair and fuck it all.

      This is a real bandwagon one I think. Its biggest crime is a few obviously broken characters like Flanders and Smithers, but it's a mostly functional game especially given its fraught development. Certainly less broken than most modern wrestling games anyway. This is one of those "I played it when I was a kid and I liked it" games for me, admittedly but there's enough variety in the characters to make it interesting to play.
