The Genesis hardware suffers from a limited color palette therefore this port features a bland color scheme compared to other releases. The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version is generally faithful in speed, content, and animation to the arcade. It also lacks several voice and commentary samples and in terms of game mechanics, damage taken by in-game fighters from attacks was reduced. However, it suffers from persistent slowdown most notably when three wrestlers are on screen. Visually it does feature a presentation more reminiscent to the Arcade compared to the Genesis. There is a limit of three characters on screen at once while all other releases allowed four. It was the only port to omit two characters from the roster ( Bam Bam Bigelow and Yokozuna). The SNES release is generally regarded as the worst of the home the ports. The releases found on CD media are most similar to the Arcade given superior hardware capabilities and larger storage space available. Ports were developed for Mega Drive/Sega Genesis, 32X, SNES, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and DOS. The game was followed up by WWF In Your House for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and DOS. The game also features two multi-player modes head to head, a one-on-one match between two players, or cooperative, where the two players team up in a tag team version of the WrestleMania Challenge in which they must defeat the game's eight wrestlers in groups of two to become the Tag Team Champions.Ĭommentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler, who also appear in the game sitting at the announcers' table to the right of the ring. In the more difficult WWF Championship mode, the player must win four two-on-one matches, two three-on-one matches, and finally a "WrestleMania Challenge," where the player must defeat every wrestler in the game in a gauntlet, starting with a three-on-one setup, with each eliminated opponent being replaced with another until all eight have been defeated. In the Intercontinental Championship mode, the player must win four one-on-one matches, two two-on-one matches, and one three-on-one match to win the title. WWF WrestleMania features two single-player modes: the Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Championship. Such "bleeding" objects include Yokozuna's food and Bam Bam Bigelow's flames. One unique feature is that each character can "bleed" his respective objects other than blood upon taking damage from most attacks in the Mortal Kombat sense. WrestleMania's one-player mode has the player choose one of eight wrestlers - Bam Bam Bigelow, Bret Hart, Doink the Clown, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker or Yokozuna. There are other similarities to the Mortal Kombat games, such as the winner being the victor of two out of three rounds and players being awarded flawless victories, which are simply called "perfect" here. While actual wrestling moves are present, matches consist primarily of special strike attacks and insane combos, such as the Undertaker casting spirits at an opponent and Doink shocking the opponent with a joy buzzer. The game is regarded as over the top for its use of attacks. Games for the PlayStation continued to sell until Sony ceased production of both the PlayStation and PlayStation games on 23 March 2006 – over 11 years after it had been released, and less than a year before the debut of the PlayStation 3.Despite being based on professional wrestling, WrestleMania's digitized graphics and fast-paced gameplay make it more of a fighting game in the vein of Midway's Mortal Kombat series. The last PS one units were sold in late 2006 to early 2007 shortly after it was officially discontinued, for a total of 102 million units shipped since its launch 11 years earlier. The PlayStation 2, which is backwards compatible with the PlayStation’s DualShock controller and games, was announced in 1999 and launched in 2000. In July 2000, a redesigned, slim version called the PS one was released, replacing the original grey console and named appropriately to avoid confusion with its successor, the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation is the first “computer entertainment platform” to ship 100 million units, which it had reached 9 years and 6 months after its initial launch. It primarily competed with the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn as part of the fifth generation of video game consoles. The console was the first of the PlayStation lineup of home video game consoles. The console was released on 3 December 1994 in Japan, 9 September 1995 in North America, 29 September 1995 in Europe, and 15 November 1995 in Australia. The PlayStation (officially abbreviated to PS, and commonly known as the PS1 or its codename, PSX) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment.
