CARTRIDGE ONLY

WWF WrestleMania is a professional wrestling video game that was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1989. Developed by Rare and published by Acclaim Entertainment, it allowed players to experience the excitement of the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE) in a 2D wrestling game.

In WWF WrestleMania for the NES, players could choose from a roster of popular wrestlers from the late 1980s, including Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior, and more. The game featured both single-player and multiplayer modes, allowing players to compete against the computer or challenge a friend in head-to-head matches.

The gameplay in WWF WrestleMania involved executing various wrestling moves and strikes to weaken opponents and ultimately pin them for a three-count. Players could perform grapples, punches, kicks, and even signature moves of the wrestlers they chose. Each wrestler had their own unique set of moves and attributes, adding variety to the gameplay.

The game featured different match types, including one-on-one matches, tag team matches, and even a "Survivor Series" mode where players could assemble a team of wrestlers to compete against another team. The matches took place in a wrestling ring, and players could utilize the ropes and turnbuckles for high-flying maneuvers.

WWF WrestleMania for the NES had colorful graphics, digitized representations of the wrestlers, and an energetic soundtrack that captured the atmosphere of professional wrestling. The controls were relatively simple, utilizing the NES controller's buttons and directional pad to execute moves and perform actions.

While the game may not have had the depth or realism of later wrestling games, WWF WrestleMania for the NES was a popular and enjoyable title at the time of its release. It offered fans the chance to play as their favorite wrestlers and engage in exciting wrestling matches, making it a notable entry in the NES library.
