Showdown 64 (2019) was a fan-made project inspired by AKI’s legendary N64 wrestling games like WWF No Mercy and WCW/nWo Revenge. Developed as an homage, it used retro-styled graphics and mechanics to replicate the timing-based grappling that defined the era.
While unofficial, it gained attention from fans hungry for a spiritual successor to the AKI classics. Its nostalgic design and community-driven development made it a beloved indie tribute, proving the enduring influence of late-1990s wrestling games.
