Follow Up To WCW Vs. The World
jeremycrimsonfox20 September 2021
WCW Vs, nWo World Tour is a wrestling game by THQ based on World Championship Wrestling. A semi-sequel to the Playstation-exclusive WCW Vs. The World, which was released in America eight months before this, WCW Vs. NWo World Tour shares the same gameplay mechanics: instead of a health meter, each wrestler has a spirit bar that increases or decreases depending on how well you play (i.e. Doing moves blocking or countering attacks and even taunting), and filling it to the point of it flashing special will allow you to do your wrestler's signature finisher (each wrestler has two, one for front grapples and the other for grappling from behind).

For the roster, WCW Vs nWo World Tour has some good wrestlers of the time like Sting, Ric Flair, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, The Giant, and even some fresh faces that didn't appear in WCW Vs. The World, like Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and even Diamond Dallas Page and Glacier, who are two of the hidden characters. The roster is divided into four factions: World Championship Wrestling, New World Order, Dead Or Alive (not to be confused with the fighting game made by Tecmo Koei), and Independent Union (the latter two being actual wrestling promotions from Japan, which are renamed along with the wrestlers in them as a way to bypass copyright) alongside two other organizations that are unlocked by winning each organization's championships in both Heavyweight and Cruiserweight (all but IU also have tag team championships, but there is no Super Tag Team organization). The controls are revolutionary, as grapples and strikes strength are determined by tapping or holding a button, and there are plenty of game modes, including league and even tournament.
