When it comes down to wrestling games for the Nintendo 64 there is absolutely no doubt that WCW/NWO Revenge along with No Mercy were two of the best titles to have ever been released for that console. Both games were released during the time of the Monday Night Wars between WWE and WCW. Both games were published by THQ and had the same developers but despite having similar gameplay No Mercy seemed to have greater depth as far as game modes are concerned.

While WCW/NWO Revenge had a Championship Mode where players could compete in a series of matches to win titles No Mercy had a branching storylines for the same exact thing. Also, No Mercy gave provided players with a Create A Wrestler Mode along with entrance music and videos which were absent in WCW/NWO Revenge. Additional features included brawling in backstage areas such as the boiling room or the parking lot along with the ability to purchase items or hidden characters from the Smackdown. No Mercy also had it where player could compete in Cage and Ladder Matches while WCW/NWO Revenge did not have any of those options. In terms of which game was more successful for the N64 many wrestling fans are inclined to give No Mercy the edge over WCW/NWO Revenge.
