ECW Hardcore Revolution is a professional wrestling game released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64. Developed by Acclaim, it stands as the first video game based on the Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion. Utilizing the same engine as their earlier wrestling titles, the game features a large roster of authentic ECW wrestlers and a variety of match types, emphasizing the use of weapons and hardcore brawling that defined the promotion.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat your opponent through pinfall, submission, or other match-specific win conditions. The game maps standard Nintendo 64 controls to your keyboard: use the arrow keys to move your wrestler. The Z and X keys correspond to the A and B buttons for striking and grappling, while the Enter key acts as Start. The C-buttons, which handle running and specific maneuvers, are typically mapped to WASD or IJKL depending on your emulator settings.
Tips
- Master the grappling system: Moves are executed by initiating a grapple and entering specific button combinations (like a fighting game) rather than relying on quick analog inputs.
- Embrace the hardcore: True to its name, stepping outside the ring and utilizing weapons is highly effective for wearing down your opponent quickly.
