WWF No Mercy
0 plays 2000 #Sport
WWF No Mercy is a professional wrestling video game released in 2000 by THQ for the Nintendo 64. It is based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and is named after the WWF's annual event of the same name. Developed by Asmik Ace Entertainment and AKI Corporation, No Mercy is the last in a series of Nintendo 64 wrestling games from the companies that started with WCW vs. nWo: World Tour.
No Mercy features various improvements over its predecessor, 1999's WWF WrestleMania 2000, such as improved graphics, a "Championship" mode that allows players to participate in various branching storylines, and a more in-depth character creation mode. The improvements made to the game, combined with the series' vaunted gameplay and controls garnered praise from critics upon release. Nevertheless, the game was faulted by some for its blocky graphics, slowdown and the difficulty level of computer-controlled opponents. Overall, the game was critically well received and would become one of the best-selling titles for the Nintendo 64, as well as the third-best-selling wrestling game for the Nintendo 64 console.

What the critics said
Electronic Gaming Monthly also praised the game's improvements, commenting that while WrestleMania 2000 was not much of an improvement over WCW/nWo Revenge before it, No Mercy "looks and plays like a proper follow-up".
— Electronic Gaming Monthly, 2001
Writing for IGN, Blake Norton praised the branching paths of the Championship Mode, writing that it would have players "coming back for weeks and weeks, to try each belt, try each twist, try each new plot development, then do it again with different wrestlers".
— IGN, 2000
GameRevolution's reviewer wrote that "its superiority over Wrestlemania 2000 is marginalized due to technical limitations".
