One thing I really like about it is the reversal-chains. Whenever a reversal is made, into a reversal, into another reversal. It keeps things interesting. Besides the flaws of the AI, and not coming in the nicest, prettiest package, I had a lot of fun with it. After getting a hang of it.
I've not always been a big fan of wrestling but every single video you bring out to do with wrestling games or just wrestling in general is always on my watch list. They are just so interesting. Good to see another review. Just bought this and byw 2 for the Xbox not that long ago as well. Thank you for the video! :)
My mom saw an ad for this game and threatened to take away my playstation back in the day. I never even owned the game, she was just offended that they would make a backyard wrestling game for some reason.
Glad to see you making vids again as I enjoy your videos. As for this while not the best wrestling game in the world I enjoyed it for what it was one of those games you pick up and play to kill some time.
There are so many badass things I found out about the Backyard Wrestling games thanks to the creator himself Kevin Gill, who is the commentator for GCW Wrestling. -This game was originally going to be a ECW game as Kevin is a massive wrestling fan and watched a lot of ECW when the company was still active before it was bought out by WWE in 2001. He approached Paul Heyman and he got on quite well with him but sadly it never came to fruition thanks to Acclaim owning the license at the time. -This game was going to be originally developed by AKI Corporation! That's right, the same developers who worked on WWF No Mercy and WCW/NWO Revenge on the Nintendo 64 along with the first two Def Jam games on PlayStation 2. He contacted them but they never got back to him. He went to Eidos Interactive, pitched his idea to them, which was wrestling meets Power Stone with a grungier vibe to it and showed them famous hardcore moments from WWE as reference points. They loved it and went into production straight away. -The Mansion arena was the first thing made for the game. -The Backyard arena was originally going to have a wrestling ring you could interact with but was cut for unknown reasons. -The presenter in Talk Show Mode, Kelvin Finn, IS Kevin Gill himself. He couldn't use his own likeness as he wasn't allowed according to the financial director. -There was actually a wrestling competition going on during E3 when the game was in development, which he and Eidos organized. This can be found on the IGN article pagelist for the game. -The Strip Club arena is based on an actual strip club called the Peppermint Ridge in Los Angeles. -ICP and the other wrestlers involved in the game were great to work with. I have a playlist dedicated to the game on my channel that shows off many things that were changed or cut from the final game. Here it is: ua-cam.com/play/PLLRkqQjo9BqPnGpqZXgEUVyvDelHe0ZBq.html
Keep up the great work man. Wrestling games were always something I played a lot as a kid and never got to talk about them much. Your reviews are awesome and it's just dope to see someone talk about these games. I'm super excited for your next vid!!
Thanks for coming back! I owned this game on the PS2 since I collected all the VHS backyard wrestling tapes. Terrible game but it had it's fun moments. Favorite part were the music videos/video library. Keep 'em coming!
Finally your back with wrestling reviews or reviews in general I missed this so much I even thought at the time this channel was dead but I almost unsubscribe Bc there for a while nothing was happening idk if you quit UA-cam or died or what but I’m very glad you’re back please never leave again please please
Omg. The SVGR series has made a return. You should totally do 2K19. What other games series are you into? Call of duty? Resident evil? I love these types of videos
fuck yea me and my bros use to wrestle on the trampoline , or we would move it under a tree , tie a briefcase in it and have money in the bank !! so much fun until someone always ended up crying / hurt
Nikateen, You do awesome work. You put a lot of thought & gruntwork. I don’t know if you ever played Gran Turismo religiously like I did/do. But If possible, I know you get a lot of requests, but I like how you present some of the other ol school racing games. I’d wanna see you do a presentation of the evolution of Gran Turismo. That be friggen sweet.
Man, it has been a while, but NIKATEEN VIDEO GAME REVIEWS ARE BACK! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Good to have you back doing video games reviews! Also HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN!!!!👍😮😃😍😎🎉🎊🎆🎮🎃🎃🎃
Did you know that isn't the full title of the game? The full title is: "For the love of the Virgin Mary, Dont try this at home! We really, really don't want to be sued!"
I remember renting this when it was new and getting to the point in Talk Show Mode where you face Sabu. After that I had no interest in completing the game. I returned it the same weekend. This year I ended up picking it up for my collection (trying to go for every wrestling game made) and may or may not have cried when paying for it.
Hooray for underboobs! I...I mean, it's a shame that this game seems to have been rushed. The strangest thing is the move preview not being included in the CAW mode. I may still pick it up eventually though.

NikateeN
Can you do a review on the TNA Video Game
I like T&A
The 2nd Backyard wrestling game also Features wrestlers from XPW and CZW
It's been a year since the video game reviews, and I am glad it's back!
YES!!!!!!!!! NIKATEEN IS BACK WITH THE REVIEWS!
So many good memories with this game I miss those times

This game was all my childhood.
You gotta review wwe crush hour next.
Yes you are back we all miss you bro more wrestling game's.
I remember this game fondly.
You took your time getting to this. Good to have back the definitive voice in wrestling video game reviews on YT.
Wait published by Eidos? They went from publishing this to publishing Batman Arkham Asylum. They've gone up in the world.
They did have Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex, and TimeSplitters back then, so they kinda were a big deal.
best part about this game, downloading the soundtrack onto your device and playing it in other games like Tony Hawk's Underground.
My mom saw an ad for this game and threatened to take away my playstation back in the day. I never even owned the game, she was just offended that they would make a backyard wrestling game for some reason.
Welcome back man! Love the new intro can't wait for BYR 2 review. Can you also review TNA Impact?
Legends of wrestling 2
Didn't he already review LOW 2?
@@deviouscrowgaming no only 1 and showdown
I'm a classic wrestling fan (WWF/WWE 1989-2010)
I had never had the urge to play Backyard Wrestling
the legend himself.
These games were pretty fun back on the original Xbox!
Might be my nostalgia, but I liked BYW.
I'm so glad this is back Nikateen Thank you

Ever thought about reviewing Mat Dickie’s wrestling games, I feel like you would like them.
I remember renting this when it was new and getting to the point in Talk Show Mode where you face Sabu. After that I had no interest in completing the game. I returned it the same weekend.
This year I ended up picking it up for my collection (trying to go for every wrestling game made) and may or may not have cried when paying for it.
I love this game :) glad you make that review.
The Game reviews are back!
I saw an ad for this game in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.
WTF? Is 47 a wrestler in his spare time?
Been a while.... Good video
I know I'm probably late but question, will you ever consider doing a review for WWE 2K18 and WWE 2K19?
Finally your back
nice intro bro
New intro 🔥
Nice video well done
Yasss i used to love this game lmao!!
Hooray for underboobs! I...I mean, it's a shame that this game seems to have been rushed. The strangest thing is the move preview not being included in the CAW mode. I may still pick it up eventually though.
