Version 1.1 - 26 October 2004 - The newly reformatted version of this FAQ. Version 1.0 - 21 August 2004 - The first version of this FAQ. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1.02 - Introduction =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WCW Nitro is the first WCW game to hit the PlayStation (I think) back in 1997, and it sucks. Well, you'd be asking "Why the hell would you write for a game you dislike, Ryan? Wouldn't you have a better time writing for a game you do like?" Well true, I would have a better time writing for a game I like, but I'm writing this guide for two reasons, really. One - I am doing lots of wrestling FAQs and need to bulk my recognition up by doing as many as I can be bothered with. Two - as EdTheMoogle once said, it's fun to write for a game you hate at least once - so give it a try. =============================================================================== 2. Game Overview =============================================================================== The basics of WCW Nitro. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2.01 - Match Types =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 1P TOURNAMENT: With one player, you can fight through 10 other WCW Wrestlers to make it to the top to claim the WCW Championship in a string of singles matches. 1P EXHIBITION: Have one player fight the computer in a one-off match. Does well as a warm up. 2P VS: You and one of your friends can compete against each other to see who is better! 1P EXHIBITION TAG TEAM: You can pick two wrestlers to team up and fight two other wrestlers in a Tag Team match! You can tag your partner with R2, and two wrestlers (one from each team) can be in the ring at once. The match is decided by one fall. 2P VS TAG TEAM: You and a friend compete against each other using your two best wrestlers in a tag team. Whose team is better? Well, this mode allows you to find out. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2.02 - Basics =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Options Screen ------------------ Match Length ------------ Select how long you want your match to be. You can have one of the following time limits: 3:00 5:00 10:00 Unlimited Ringout Time ------------ How long do you want a countout to last? After the time limit chosen is up, the wrestler outside the ring will lose by countout. 20 Seconds 40 Seconds 60 Seconds Unlimited Difficulty ---------- Obviously, how tough you want the matches to be. Easy Normal Hard Surprise Attack --------------- With this enabled, another superstar can sometimes ambush you in the ring while you are fighting. You can toggle it from Yes (default) or No. Ring ---- Where do you want the match to be held? Regular Nitro, PPV, or have the computer decide for you? Random Nitro NWO Slamboree Souled Out WCW Fall Brawl American Bash Halloween Havoc The other options are for configuration. You should be able to understand what it all means. ;) The Wrestling Screen -------------------- +-----------------------------------+ | ========== 10 ========== | You have the wrestlers' names, to | NASH STING | represent which grapplers are competing. | | The bars above their names display their | | health meter. They get worn out as it | | decreases, and when it is low, it will | | flash. The number in the middle is the +-----------------------------------+ match timer. How to Win Matches ------------------ There are four ways a match is ended to decide a winner. These are what determine the winner of a match: TIME-OUT: If the timer fully depletes, the wrestler with most health left wins. COUNT OUT: If a wrestler stays outside the ring for too long and the count out reaches the specified number of seconds, they lose by DQ. PIN FALL: If your opponent is worn down enough and lying down, press Circle to pin them. A count of 3 is executed by the referee, and if it gets to three, the wrestler who is pinning wins the match. SUBMISSION: If a wrestler applies a hold that is so painful and causes the opponent to tap out, they win the match. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2.03 - FAQs =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Q: Could you send me the move list for the PC version of this game? A: The PS version sucks so bad I don't think anything could persuade me to get the PC version of this game, even if I could find it, I probably won't write for it anyways, sorry. Q: What's the best thing about this game? A: Next question. Q: Hi, I'm from CheatCC... A: Go away. =============================================================================== 3.
