AKI Pro Wrestling 64: Episode 4 - WWF No Mercy (2000)



AT LONG LAST! AKI Pro Wrestling 64 is finally finished!

Here it is, folks. The last episode.

This episode covers WWF No Mercy, the most popular of the AKI games and the best one next to Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. Find out to see why it's so awesome!

It seems the review turned out a lot longer than I expected, but I had a lot to say about this game. I love it. To me, no wrestling game was as fun as No Mercy was (with the exception of the Fire Pro Wrestling series). Not even the future SmackDown!/SmackDown vs. Raw games and WWE GameCube games, although SmackDown!: Here Comes The Pain and Day of Reckoning 1 come pretty close.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my review and be sure to vote for your favorite game here:

Which AKI wrestling game on the N64 is your favorite or the best in your opinion?

AKI Pro Wrestling 64: Episode 3 - WWF WrestleMania 2000 (1999)/Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (2000)



After a long ass delay, Episode 3 of AKI Pro Wrestling 64 is FINALLY here! This time, AKI Corp. turns to the World Wrestling Federation, starting with WWF WrestleMania 2000. How good is it compared to WCW/nWo Revenge? Find out in this episode.

There is some choppy editing when I speak, but I couldn't do anything to fix it.

Oh and Commando has got to be the dumbest idea I've ever come up with for a created wrestler. Seriously. But don't worry. In the next part, I'll show better created wrestlers and I'll do it in a funny way.

Anyway, hope you enjoy my review!

AKI Pro Wrestling 64: Introduction & Origin



Yes, folks. IT'S FINALLY HERE! After over an ENTIRE YEAR OF WAITING, my very first special review is finally here!



AKI Pro Wrestling 64 is an episodic special review that covers all the wrestling games on the Nintendo 64 that were developed by AKI Corporation (now Syn Sophia, Inc.) and published by Asmik (in Japan) and THQ (in the U.S.). Some were based on World Championship Wrestling (WCW) (now defunct), some were based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) (now World Wrestling Entertainment [WWE]), and some were based on various Puroresu (Japanese wrestling) promotions.



This series contains some of the greatest wrestling games of all time:



-Introduction (& Origin) - Virtual Pro Wrestling (1996) and WCW vs. The World (1997) for the PlayStation
-Episode 1: WCW vs. nWo: World Tour/Virtual Pro Wrestling 64(1997)
-Episode 2: WCW/nWo: Revenge (1998)
-Episode 3: WWF WrestleMania 2000 (1999)/Virtual Pro Wrestling 2(2000)
-Episode 4: WWF No Mercy (2000)

Blog Review: Sonic Classic Collection (Nintendo DS)



Welcome to the very first blog review from AllieRX. Since it's gonna take a while for my AKI Pro Wrestling 64 to be released, and since it would take longer to finish if I made another video review before I even finish, I thought it would be a good idea to do blog reviews in the meantime. And my first choice for my blog review is none other than Sonic Classic Collection for the DS.

I did this because I got so many requests from comments on my Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis review since DS emulators are pissing me the fuck off and since I don't have a good camera (although I THINK my iPhone, which I just got, MAY actually record DS gameplay footage in good quality), the best way for me to do this is via a blog.



Anyway, let's get on with the review. It's not gonna be too long though.


To recap a bit from my Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis review, I said that I've always wanted to play Sonic 1 on the go, but as you know....THE GAME FUCKING SUCKED! And at the end of the review, I recommend either the Sega Nomad version (despite it's HORRIBLE battery life) and Sega Genesis Collection for the PSP for the best portable versions of Sonic 1. Well now there's another way to play a good portable version of Sonic 1, and it's on the Game Boy Advance's successor, the Nintendo DS.


In Sonic Classic Collection, not only do you get to play Sonic 1 on the go, you also get to play Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, and all of the lock-on games (EXCEPT Blue Sphere) when you insert Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 on the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge. All for the affordable price of $19.99 (That's the price now, but it was $29.99 when I got it in March). You also get to see some illustrations of the Sonic characters and play the game in different languages, but obviously that's not why most of us wanted this game. I just wanted to throw that in there.


Unlike the GODAWFUL GBA port of Sonic 1, all of these games are emulated and yes, it plays REALLY well. The emulation isn't perfect though, as there are some extremely minor framerate drops, minor glitches, and some of the BGM in certain Sonic games are a little different, but it's LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than what Sonic Genesis on the GBA pulled off, with its HORRIBLE lag, glitches left and right, and PAINFUL remade music.

Also, I think the minor glitches kinda help a little in the special stages of Sonic 2, 3, and Sonic & Knuckles. Not that they were bad or anything on the original Sega Genesis (MegaDrive if you live outside the U.S./Canada/Puerto Rico), but they were some pretty hard bonus stages, especially the annoying spike traps in the last two special stages in Sonic 2.

Other than that, it's pretty much the same Sonic games you've played on the Genesis/MegaDrive, so it's guaran-damn-teed that you're gonna enjoy it. Hell, I've been playing this game a lot....that was until bought Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride - Card Battle Taisen, but that's beside the point. I highly recommend it for all Sonic fans alike and I give this game a Gold.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed reading my blog review and there will be more blog reviews in the neat future, so stay tuned.
