Differences from WCW vs. nWo: World Tour
Although released less than a month after its American counterpart,
Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 has various distinctions from and additions to
WCW vs. nWo: World Tour. For example, most wrestlers sport their actual attires but occasionally they may contain color alterations as is the case with
Hulk Hogan's famous yellow tights and red knee pads which are replaced with yellow tights and black knee pads and with
Chris Benoit, who sports his Japanese attires as opposed to his
Four Horsemen attire which he wears in
World Tour. Along with other sporadic attire color coordination changes, some wrestler's actual movesets are sometimes altered as well. For instance, with Chris Benoit's Front Special move, he performs a double
German suplex which is entirely absent from
World Tour and
Diamond Dallas Page, who needs not be unlocked as required
World Tour (along with
Randy Savage), performs his signature
Diamond Cutter simply as a strong
grapple move and instead has a
gutwrench spinning powerbomb for his front Special. Other unlockable wrestlers in
World Tour that are entirely absent from
VPW 64, include
Glacier and
Wrath. Notably,
VPW 64 also includes a post-match scoring system as well as the ability to edit wrestlers' attire. These features would not be introduced to American gamers until
WCW/nWo Revenge in 1998. ==See also==
