WWF LEGENDS is a complete modification of the beloved Nintendo 64 video game "WWF No Mercy" originally released in 2000 and widely regarded as one of - if not the best professional wrestling simulation ever created. The AKI (now Syn Sophia) Development team were able to take the colorful and unique world of professional wrestling and lovingly port it directly into their multiple titles for the Playstation and Nintendo 64 throughout the late 90s/early 2000s culminating in this game, the final release of its kind. Because of its reputation as the "gold standard" in pro-wrestling gaming, and made stronger by the sudden stop in production, wrestling and video game fans alike have longed for more of the signature action and quirkiness AKI games provided.

​

By that same token, the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) was king of the world of professional wrestling in the mid-80s well into the 90s. Dubbed the "Golden Era," the colorful characters, legendary performances, pop-culture crossover success and indelible childhood memories created in this time period has left a generation of fans clamoring for a way to relive the glory days of the WWF.

​

WWF LEGENDS aims to fill both of these voids and appeal to multiple generations by updating and evolving the AKI game engine while capturing the essence of the World Wrestling Federation's golden age. The marriage of these two worlds almost serves as a spiritual successor to "WWF WrestleFest" - the classic arcade title that fans of the era will certainly remember. This is all made possible through emulation - WWF LEGENDS runs on Project64, an emulator available for your PC. A variety of other tools help create the immersive experience including custom music, match commentary & more.

​

The LEGENDS team has been working toward its goal since 2006 - over a decade of texturing, hacking, brainstorming and implementing the many changes that make WWF LEGENDS feel like a whole new video game - one that is most certainly a labor of love for the dedicated team. The journey toward the ultimate WWF experience rages on as the team keeps hard at work on the third major update - "WWF LEGENDS: Challenge 64" released in 2023.

Please enjoy this trip back to a time when the WWF was "what the world was watching" and larger-than-life heros and villains captured the hearts and minds of people young and old.
