WWF No Mercy on Virtual Console/WiiWare

I had heard ages ago, that WWF No Mercy was being worked on and that it would come out on Virtual Console/WiiWare and would come with updated rosters. This is one of my all time favorite wrestling games. Does any1 have any inside knowledge on this?

I heard this too, but haven't heard anything since. I'm guessing it was just a rumor. If No Mercy wasn't so awesome, I probably would have never bought into it.

I am surprised Suszeck doesn't know more about this.

My friends and I keep our N64's around for the mandatory 4 player Royal Rumbles when we all get together.

Was pretty sweet on WCW/NWO Revenge also. Having Sting drop from the rafters into the ring was classic.

Wrestlemania 2000 is our weapon of choice.

They were all great games, and still stand up today. I pull them out play them for a little bit quite often. Actually been meaning to do it again sometime soon.

If online multiplayer was possible in those games, I wouldn't need another game for a whole year.

This couldn't have been a very substantiated rumor, in my opinion. While some games get remade for WiiWare, PSN, and XBLA, it's clear that THQ focuses on retail releases even in their more arcade-style games. I can't imagine they'd make the money they'd need on a download service when using a hefty license like the WWE exclusively.

Plus, games brought onto the Virtual Console service are pretty stubbornly unchanged. Nor should they be, really. It's kind of a fantastic opportunity to archive gems of the past and re-live them, even if the pricing is iffy sometimes.

But I think SmackDown vs Raw is a great series anyways, so I'm happy with that. I can't wait to see All-Stars, but those looking to play a new game with tons of old wrestlers should check out Legends of WrestleMania. The controls are really simplified, but I totally dig that game, and it's got a pretty loaded roster.

I knew I saw this on 1up.com so I did a search and found the original post. I guess they got it from EGM back in 2007. It is a quarterman story, so who knows if it has been axed or not. I don't know any1 at THQ, so I can go no further as far as fact finding goes.

I'd imagine if anything were to come of it, it would have come out by now.
