- Wrestling Bios Presents - Looking Back at WWF In Your House
After WrestleMania "The Arcade Game" got some decent reviews, it was decided that a sequel would get made in the same style. Midway, the developers of WrestleMania, would not be involved in the sequel. Instead, Sculptured Software, a development company under the Acclaim umbrella, would get the oppurtunity to develop WWF In Your House.
Fans were eager for a new WWF game in 1996 but it appeared that Acclaim were not ready to deliver a full 3D wrestling title just yet. The PlayStation and Sega Saturn, while primitive, were capable of rendering 3D graphics and this was something that gamers of this time wanted to see. In Your House then, upon release, already looked slightly dated. It shouldn't matter though, a good game doesn't need to look spectacular in order to be playable, something that was already proven with the popular WrestleMania Arcade Game. If In Your House could keep the formula and add updates, it would probably have been well received, but it didn't.
This video from Wrestling Bios takes a look at WWF In Your House from 1996.

Funny story. WWF Warzone had just come out. So for my birthday in 1998, I told my Grandmother (Godbless her soul) that I wanted WWF Warzone. I guess all she heard was "WWF". So on my birthday she gave me a wrapped up square that looked like a playstation game. I was SOOOOOO excited. I thought I was going to open the wrapper and see Stone Cold Steve Austin on the cover....but in reality I opened the wrapper and saw Bret Hart, Vader, and Shawn Michaels diving onto a small house...🤦🏾♂️ I still played it all night tho lol
Awesome and sorry about your grandmother
I have a similar story. I asked for Final Fantasy IX but got VIII instead. I had two copies for like a week lol
Lol the same thing happened to me but with my mom.
Same thing happen to me with my dad ask for war zone got in your house but still enjoy playing it
So I wasn't the only one! 😅
Random fact: If you put the Saturn version in a CD player, it's plays all the entrance music from every wrestler. Me and my friends used them for our trampoline wrestling growing up lol. We felt big time.
PC version as well
Lol
This was really Acclaim giving Midway another slap in the face after also stabbing them in the back over the NBA JAM license.
Am I really the only fan of the Channel Awesome Hunger Games winner here? Hello, you!
You gotta cover wrestlemania 2000 on N64! That game was amazing.
I just played that game the other day testing out my 3 N64s 🤣
If Jeff Jarrett had stayed in the company wwf man I can imagine what Jeff Jarret would have looked like if he was in this game. His weapon would probably be smashing people over the head with guitars LOL
@@christophernicholson20 ON Gawd I can See it Already before my very Eyes
I agree. He should also do videos on The Smackdown game series on PlayStation.

Sunny? Sunny? I have never in my life saw this at all. I’d love to know if she was maybe a secret “tips” person in the vain of reptile from MK1. I’m intrigued
I remember it from 1996, but no one ever talks about it. Either Gamepro or EGM showed a photo of her on that swing thing and said she'd be in the game. They also said you could fight the GHOST OF ANDRE THE GIANT as a secret boss. I'm not joking.
I loved this game. I beat it with every wrestler just to see their highlight video at the end. The small rewards we got back then.
Asked my mam for WWF Warzone, Christmas 99. Opened the wrapper and this came out. "They didn't have it, but the guy said this is just as good" 😐
Damn
@Business Straight business Of course he fuckin lied. My initial reaction was, 'Yeah mam, he defo saw you coming!'
Sounds just like something a mom would say 😂
Well, Warzone also was not a good game. Between the two, I’d rather play this one. The best wrestling game to buy in Christmas of 99 were Wrestlemania 2000 or WCW Revenge.
WWF meets Mortal Kombat
Could have said it any better
Facts😂
The best part of this game, was the options screen with the music selection.For Ultimate Warriors music
Same for me
Still better than 2k20
Lmaoo I agree
The NES games are better than 2K20
@@Elkott we all know the nes version was not great but I completely agree
@@Elkott hell I got this game on my cell phone called Wrestling Revolution, that game is better no glitches, it got Chris Benoit and Owen Hart. Only thing is they don't use their wrestling names cause of copy rights. I'll even say WCW Monday Nitro, WCW Thunder and Legends of Wrestling 1 and 2 are better than 2K20 lol.
Facts lol
All stars is a really fun game, I wish they made more like that one. but being a 40 year old, I'm oldschool and want a game with only the characters from the 80's and 90's. who knows if ill ever get to see that.
Get legends of wrestlemania for ps3.
WrestleMania the arcade game made my 1995 Christmas the best ever!
The powerups were good because it was a callback to the first WWF Wrestlemania game on NES. Each one represented fan support to give the wrestler health and momentum.
Power Move Pro Wrestling was one of the best games. All it needed was a tag team mode. But, I loved it and played it constantly.
Yes. I remember first seeing it, in a "Gamepro" magazine I had at the time. And when they showed these two jokers, that resembled Hawk and Animal, as well as another joker, that resembled The Great Muta. I was hooked. It didn't quite love up to my expectations to what I thought it would be in that "Gamepro" magazine issue.. but it still was a solid game.
I love Power Move! I still have a copy to this day! 😎🤘 That game was awesome..... especially loved how impactful some of the moves were!
I remember when I was a kid, asking for the wwf game for PlayStation and I got this. Man was this game terrible. I wanted Attitude, guess I should of been more specific 😂🤣.
For 20 plus years, I had no idea of this game's existence, even though I was watching back then! It's release was definitely kept quiet!
You're a machine dude. Much appreciated. Merry Christmas!!
I also got this as a birthday gift. Seems like nobody here willingly purchased this game lol
Lol
Lol
This was my first wrestling game when I was little i really liked it this game, WrestleMania Arcade was good too.
Easily the best Wrestling channel. You do wonderful work!
Agreed!!!
this and mk trilogy was the main reason i bought a ps1
Noticed the sprites in game of ALL the wrestlers look a LOT worse vs the arcade Wrestlemania sprites. Wonder why they even did this? It was possible to have near that quality on ps1/etc. I guess to speed up loading time?
It's won't be a case that they didn't want to but they couldn't fit it onto the disc or some other technical reason.
Team Rocket HQ I bet mugen players and editors would mashup the game and make new arenas lol
@@deniscore8270 That doesn't make a whole lot of sense when the Sega Saturn was the 2D arcade port powerhouse of that era, using a CD-ROM medium. The Neo-Geo on the other hand still used cartridges, that contributed to its high cost.
As for why In Your House looked so bland and in ways, smudgy, compared to Wrestlemania... Sculptured Software. They ported Wrestlemania Arcade but they already had something to work with: Midway's digitized sprites.
I remember renting this game in 1998 and being soooooo disappointed with it.🤦♂️
I rented in 97 and was so disappointed.
I was disappointed also. I thought Stone cold steve Austin, The Rock Mankind and or Kane were going to be in this game
I was bitter, I was expecting more wrestlemania: the arcade game quality and it felt like a generic knock-off
@@gregorylove6841 That's what it definitely felt like
All Stars was awesome! A great change to the standard wrestling stuff that was around.
I tried to sweet chin music everything on this game!
Izzy I was shapershooter everything On the gaMe
I collect vide game on my channel and I have been wanting to buy in your house but no store ever has it. On the 3 ds wwe all stars is my favorite game. Can you do a video on that as well.
Here’s an opinion from me that’s not going to be popular: Smackdown 2 was, is and will forever be better than No Mercy. How anyone enjoyed the latter with that dreadful N64 controller is beyond me.
Philistine.
Your awesome to listen too. The nostalgia you have is very similar to mine. Appreciate your hard work
I remember Sunny was suppose to hover over the ring before/during a match and blow a kiss as a distraction. I saw this in a GamePro magazine I still have.
Which issue of Game Pro is this?
Cool, I was wondering how she would fit into this type of game. Sounds like a cool idea, but they probably decided it didn't make enough sense.
@@wonder-games3579 I think it was issue 98 or one leading to it. 98 was its review issue but I recall the article reporting more on the behind the scenes stuff.
Sadly this is one wrestling game i missed out on! :(
Never too late.
Same here.I was an N64 kid, didn't have a PS1 until the 2000's.
Full Metal 1.5, as I call it. All it was good for was playing in a CD player.
If you put up a video entitled "me dancing naked with a pickle watching Repo Man vs Vinnie Vegas" I would still click on and like just because it's wrestling bios 😂😂😂. I don't even play video games but great vid as always. Although when you first showed the logos I thought it was Owen Hart letting out a red death fart! LOL
Lol same. I think that this channel while underrated, it does his research very well not to mention the transitions between parts is quite smooth.
Agreed. Even if it's a subject that I'm very familiar with, I really enjoy and appreciate the work that's gone into these videos. 👍
Why dont you play videogames? You missing out A LOT.
@@promisnwekenta9703 I used to play but after high school I just kind of grew out of it. I like going to arcades from time to time on dates but that's about it. A 40 year old woman playing video games is a rare sight
@@breezy9297 oh, i cant imagine a live without video games in some form, on mobile, vr (it has bright future) or good old computer. But im fairly young so......
Well it seems you have a good taste on videos, looking at your comment.
Given Hall and Nash were still in the company I'm surprised they weren't originally in the game, but maybe they had given their notice by then
They was on the way out before the game was released
Bit of a correction. Wrestlemania Arcade also had the taunt buff, though if I recall correctly it was once per match instead of per round. It was also done slightly differently. You held down block and did a 360 motion.
I have fond memories of this. The Ultimate Warrior has always been one of my favorite wrestlers so I'm fond of any of the games that include him.
I remember playing the Superstars and Wrestlefest arcade games a lot when I was a kid, are there any plans to make videos for them?
Bring me back love the bio's on the games 👍👍💥
old sunny heard shes a spud, can remember renting this out of extra vision back in the day
I actually liked this game I got it for Christmas in 96 along with the PS1 and Tekken 2 I asked for WMTAG but my couldn’t find it but found this instead but hell I didn’t complain I got this Tekken 2 and the PS1 so I was happy AF!!!🤣🤣
Great Googley Moogley I had this on the saturn because of wrestlemania the arcade game I swapped it by the end of the week
Imagine if Sunny made her "Video" in 1997 Kreygasm
This isn't twitch.
Who else remembers their mother telling them that they cant get a game because it was Dos and you had windows 95?!? Was my mother just full of it?
This was a great game... Even had Owen Hart
Sal Divita from Midway worked on both Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game and WWE All Stars. He was on the Midway team that made TNA Impact and when Midway went out of business THQ bought the studio that made Impact. They also used the submission mini game in one of the Smackdown vs. Raw games. All Stars is on the same engine and refuses many assets from Impact. They Tokyo Dome crowd noise in WWE 2K19 is from the Japan arena in TNA Impact. 616 Entertainment talked about it. I hated all those games. Give me No Mercy or give me nothing.
Got this game, I bet I've played about 1 hour of it in 20 years
You ever want to sell it let me know been looking for this for a whileb
Ebay has copies pretty cheap
@@khanthevideogamehunter2946 it's super cheap online or old school game shops. Paid like 5 for mine
memeriors me and the fam used to play this jawn back in the day
WWE 2K20 was a rush game as well still crashes at times the patch fix some stuff not everything.
I remember telling a friend while at blockbuster let’s play this game, and I was told not to get it cause it was trash lol Long story short I put it back on the shelf 😂
Surely they’d have captured images of diesel and razor if it was pre WM12 and Jarrett was still there..
Best thing about this game on PS1 was being able to listen to real entrance music
Fun fact: in WWF: In Your House, you can turn the power-ups on and off.
Thanks, that is fun
I remember buying this for my sega Saturn. I played the life outta it. Never had wwf wrestle mania the arcade game for it tho
I did I had lots of fun playing that Wrestlemania game
Did you try playing it in a CD player? :3
If you wouldn't have posted this video... I would have completely forgotten I owned this on the Sega Saturn.
This game was terrible. We ended up selling it to EB for almost nothing when it was expensive to buy.. only owned if for less than 3 months ..lol ah well.
It was a decent game and I mean decent for its time
Imagine being me as a teenager. You want a Playstation, so your parents buy you one, with Porsche Challenge as the pack in game. So you trade in your Megadrive and all the Sonic games for two Playstation games... In Your House and 3D Lemmings.
No Mercy is da greatest wrestling game of all time hands down next to Smackdown 2!
I have this game, i like it more than Wrestlemania the arcade game. More obscure wrestlers in it!
Great review, great upload. It would be cool 😎 if you could possibly do a review of Royal Rumble for Sega Genesis. Absolutely legendary game when I was a child. I consider it a tie in terms of fun factor with WCw vs nwo revenge for its time.
Me and my mate used to go to his neighbours house and play this for literally hours and hours on end. Winner stays on. Great memories
It was all about warzone for me.
The WWF product and presentation was so good back then. I wish we got WWF No Mercy in 1996 but with the presentation and roster that this game had.
No Mercy, Revenge, Wrestlemainia 2000. All the rest are trash... And by ALL that includes the ones out now
World tour?
@@Curlyheart Knew someone was going to mention that one. Makes no sense to play once Revenge came out.
@@jasonmerced718 But thy following games wouldn't exist if world tour didn't come out. And Revenge kinda makes me depressed. And I don't have a clue why.
@@Curlyheart Just cause something is first doesn't make it better. If you get depressed when you play Revenge then i think you need to see someone to express yourself...
@@jasonmerced718 what im saying is that world tour PIONEERED the aki games.
Warzone was TRASH
So was attitude
Man I've been saying for the longest time that WWE needs to release a Fun Arcade style game. Been way too long
Was that what Battlegrounds was supposed to be?
@@autobotstarscream765 I'm not familiar with that so I have no idea
Memories!
:&D
R.i.p ultimate warrior owen hart vader and davy smith British bulldog
It's time for WWE to make a new game called - "WWE In The TRASH"!!!
OMG I HAD THIS GAME!!!! I remember my friend and I were playing and if you played as Vader, when you climbed the turnbuckle he would like bend over and his rear-end would bounce up and down non stop, and I laughed so hard I peed my pants! My friend and I couldn’t stop laughing!!!
go UA-cam : are you a good person . The author of this video is Living Waters.
WWF In Your House
WWF Attitude
WWF Warzone
Was epic back in the days
Back then I thought Attitude was da greatest game till No Mercy came out da rest is history
None of those games were very good. WCW had by far the best wrestling games at that point in time with WCW Revenge on the N64.
They had bits and pieces of this style in the DLCs for WWE 2K20. Bump in the Night and South Paw and the others. They had custom sets for Taker and 80's night clubs with bands in the background on stage. IIRC.
I remember renting this for a weekend to play with some friends. After that we just went back to renting random ppvs from years gone by instead
Played it on the Saturn. Went back to Wrestlelamia the next day lol
Had it mostly for the soundtrack. LoL
Never really understood why the graphics were so poor for this game
Im loving these old school gaming vids your making you must of had a great childhood my friend. Would you ever consdider doing a vid about your wrestling video/DVD and full games collection cos I can imagine it will blow peoples minds. Just a thought mate. I think it would make a great vid. Merry Xmas n all the best for 2020. Your silver You Tube plaque will definately be in the post next year. Its a fkn travisty it hasn't happened already. Keep up your tireless hard work which you are known for pal
I still have IYH and WM the arcade game on ps1 till this day I play them on my PS3 when I dust it off every now and then WrestleMania I play atleast once a year it's one of my favorite games of all time when I got IYH in 96' I thought it was cool I was just happy that it had an updated version of HBK on it cuz when WrestleMania came out he actually looked like IYH Shawn Micheals in real life but he had his 93' attire so when this came out I was happy then like you said the bell rang and the gameplay happen and even then my 12 yr old brain was like damn this ain't the same why does it feel worse😆 I still played it for the roster though but yeah WM arcade was head and shoulders better but hey we didn't have many options so it is what it is 🤷🏾♂️
A different developer "THQ" need to enter the ring.
This guy it's so good.... It got me seeing a wrestling game review... From a game from ages ago. This channel is gold! Keep up my friend!
WrestleMania The Arcade Game is still one of my favorite wrestling/fighting games of all time.
Yes you nailed it NBA jam mortal kombat hybrid.
Still have wrestlemania the arcade game! Need this too
I had this on sega Saturn I have to have it back
Bios: "It can't get any worse that it is now."
2K: Hold my Urn
This was my first wrestling game
I brought wwe in your house on the ps1 and it was my first wrestling game on that console i loved playing as the undertaker🤼♀️🇬🇧
I ran through everybody on this game with the Warrior!
Well...🤔...alright then...👌🏼💯✔️
One of the greatest pay per view extravaganzas(the real event) all time and a personal fav of mine
The taunt system was In the first game also with 50x more damage
These games actually look fun to play. Wonder if emu gods can mod it out with a full roster
The only theoretical way would be to take all the sprites from all the game variants and build the game from scratch in Mugen.
I remember in EGM magazine they made a bs claim that the ghost of Andre The Giant was a hidden character in this game
Best youtuber on the planet
Hand down I agree he rocks
Oooooh I didn't know they made a playstation port! NOW I get why people were sayin that, I've always been like "...why tf are we comparing a genesis/snes game with a ps1 game?" *face palm* 😂
You make the best wrestling videos!!! I love tuning in everyday
Lmao wasn’t this one the one with the sound bytes from all of the wrestles you could play on demand ?? I used to make crank calls back before caller ID and would have Vader yelling at old men saying “WHAT TIME, IS IT?!?”
Or Bret saying “you can’t always get what you want but you’ll get what you need” 😂😂😂😂
The game the best in the world
@5:36, when you said returning superstars from past games. Which games do you mean? If it's Wrestle Mania, then that would make only Shawn Michaels, Bret Heart and Undertaker to be the returning wrestlers. Ultimate Warrior, Owen Heart and British Bulldog were not in the previous game.
Arcade game
Stopped watching at 8.37.
Screw that, i hate magic. I always wanted wrestling. Not magic.
I won't defend this game. I owned it and played the hell out of it, but I just wasn't a fan of WrestleMania Arcade and this was even worse. I hated the fantasy aspect of these games, and In your House only made that worse.( I could never figure out the finisher pins...). I was a die hard WWF fan, but begrudgingly preferred WCW VS. THE WORLD over In Your House. There was zero replay value, no creation whatsoever. Besides having the Ultimate Warrior and Vader, it sucked!
After watching this vid, and being a former owner of both In Your House and WM, there’s not at all much difference from either that you explained here. Both were fun as hell for the time and weren’t that far apart from either other
WCW VS THE WORLD that came out around the same time on PS1 was much better m
Fun fact: The theme to this game was made by Jon Oliva of SavaTage, he did the main vocal on the theme (that was used for the intro to RAW}, he went into the studio and the wrestlers did the backing vocal and he was amused by the fact he, a larger than life rock singer, was in this room with these giant wrestlers and was just awed by these giants.
I would have liked for WCW to have took this Gameplay in a More Realistic Style with Moves and PPV's. The Animation to me Always looked A Million Times Better than those Clone Cartoon Versions like in War Zone or Revenge. They could have made this a Base to Build on for Future Games instead we got Backstage Assult and Mayhem which looked Worse and came out Later.
