O nome da Acclaims está no boxset, mas a Rare programou o WWF Wrestlemania. Graças a Deus, acho que podemos esperar outro Rare Triumph, certo?
Errado! O WWF Wrestlemania para o NES está quebrado! Um trabalho apressado, produzido pela WWF puramente como uma vaca leiteira para extrair algo mais de seu público. O que se pode esperar de uma empresa que tenta processar uma instituição de caridade para a vida selvagem?

With only 7 wrestlers to choose from, you’d be forgiven for expecting some move variety. The NES controller has only 4 buttons, so I didnt presume much, but with simply a punch, kick, running attack and a Suplex it’s pretty limited. Supposedly you can jump from the top rope but I could never do it. Characters do look a half decent but the positives end there. All the wrestlers do the same amount of damage and have the same range despite their differing heights.

In the practice mode Andre the Giant consistently put me in unbreakable beatdown loop ending with a pin. Hulk did the same! Screw this, tournament mode it is! Might as well be Andre too, he seems tough enough!

First fight is against Billion Dollar Man, its my practice match in reverse. He ambles around the mat, randomly punching at invisible enemies and generally twitching all over the place. I can literally close my eyes and keep hitting punch and he’s done for. You can pin a wrestler once their lifebar is depleted, but it’s best to knock em down a few more times before it’ll work, if it works at all!

Fight 2 is some big fat guy. The AI has improved some but with a bit of manipulation and a bit of stun locking he’s down pretty easy.

Round 3 the AI is near impossible! I try to give this Elvis lookalike a decent match, but it’s clear the computer is no longer fucking about! None of my tricks work! I keep losing. Every loss it’s back to the start! Eventually a slow cheap attack of sniping with hit and run tactic gets the win. It comes with the risk of running out of time and forcing a rematch but it’s the only way to win! It works for the remaining wrestlers Hulk and Macho Man too.

An awful game that’s never going back in my NES!
