    We played this game a few years ago on the Dreamcast at a weeklong party filled with alcohol and shenanigans. We were already a little gone when we loaded it up, and our first match was Jericho vs Rock... halfway through the match, out runs Kane with an empty shopping cart. We stop and look at him. He pushes it around outside the ring for a bit like a racecar and then runs away to the back. We laughed way more than we should have at this and it's become a bit of a meme with our crew. Rikishi also did a run in solely to dance in the middle of the ring and then just left.

    I had some good memories with the Dreamcast by playing games like Crazy Taxi, The House of the Dead 2, Sonic Adventure, NFL 2K, and of course Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble match in the game is at the time the complete Rumble match experience until 2K made the improvements to the Rumble match in their games.

    Oh snap I remember this game! I remember the lack of modes being a big turnoff for me though when I was a kid.
    I did NOT know it was a port of an arcade game and it's actually quite impressive in that regard. Actually, that's something I feel that's quite overlooked when it came to dreamcast games their arcade ports were amazing. Outside of Soul Calibur there's not a lot of talk about just how fast their games were ported from arcade to console. And yes, it's really cool that you touched up on that! :)

    Given the graphics and it being a wrestling game it was awesome to see this at the time.... From what I recall it was always packed I am certain they got way more out of it then maybe they expected in terms of money pumped into each cabinet...

But at the time at home even though we had royal rumble we always plays smackdown 2 instead and saved royal rumble for arcade with the huge screen and 2 man cabinet.

    The appeal of this game in its day was the amount of character you could have in the ring and fighting at once. The Royal Rumble mode was cool and Dreamcast had better graphics than PS1 and N64. So for a spell, it was kinda cool; esp if you were a Dreamcast owner and had no other WWF game.
    But it came and went fast and for obvious reason. The arcade version was def the best for a quick play with friends and thats it.

    For some reason I remember there being a couple of extra characters (4 or 5 maybe) that appeared in the Royal Rumble that you couldn't play. Pretty certain 2 of these were D-Von and Bubba Ray, though I've got Chyna in my head too. Confused me a bit when I didn't see one glimpse of them in the video. I'm so certain they were in it, but maybe I'm just misremembering it... Was there are Royal Rumble 2 maybe? P.s hated the Vince fight.

  • @michaelburke7978
    @michaelburke7978 2 роки тому

    Fun fact: Christian and Val Venis were actually cut from this game. My guess is that they ran out of time to upscale their models from the PS1 Smackdown game.
    Man, I really wish more effort went into this port. I know it's originally an arcade game, but it would've been cool to have a much larger roster (which would've benefitted the Royal Rumble mode) and the ability to go to the backstage areas at anytime we want instead of just waiting for the light to go out after a few minutes. Hell, it would've even been fine to start a match backstage like it was shown in the game's own demo: such a tease, because the backstage areas are actually fun.
    The game at its core is really fun with its batshit insane pacing, I just wish it was built upon.

Not to mention the graphics were much better on Dreamcast than the PlayStation. And while the roster and gameplay could've been much better, for what it was it was super fun to play. I did love the tag team partner dynamic. I always wished Yukes would've released a sequel or two with more modes, bigger roster, and maybe a season mode with slowed down gameplay.

This game suffers in hindsight because we've seen some really good rumble modes since, but at the time this game was an absolute BEAST! I a dreamcast, a PS/PS 2, and my friend had a N64. We would spend ENTIRE WEEKENDS geeking out on No Mercy, SD 2, and Royal Rumble. Royal Rumble was so much faster and hectic.

    I've never played this game myself, but I watched NewLegacyInc's video on this, and it looks like dumb, chaotic fun. Also "OLYMPICSLAAAAAAAAAM!"

    That's such a weird idea for a royal rumble mode but really it does feel right for an arcade game haha

    My friend had a Dreamcast and they were cool. This Virtual Fighter game was one of the first- if not the first- to have a drunken Kung Fu master, Yoshimitsu, and creative characters with great storylines. Dreamcast just came at the wrong time.
