Anyone got any memories of this game? I bought it because WCW vs The World was so delayed in coming out and this was the only wrestling game out for the PS1 in the UK (other than In Your House, which I already had) on my 14th birthday.
I recall the gameplay being great fun, especially the rock-paper-scissors system with strikes-blocks-submissions. And the characters were cool, too. It's very slow-paced and old compared to today's games, though.
Edit: I know Powermove and Smackdown were both based on Touken Retsuden but Powermove doesn't feel anything like the early Smackdown games to me. Has anyone ever made CAWs of the Powermove characters? I'm thinking of making them and doing an invasion storyline when the new Smackdown comes out.

It was good for it's time.
I don't see how SmackDown was based off Toukon Retsuden. Toukon Retsuden was just developed by Yukes, which is the same company that made the SmackDown series. SmackDown came out 5 years after Toukon Retsuden came out. Power Move Pro-Wrestling was pretty much the same exact thing as Toukon Retsuden.

Was Smackdown not based on the Touken Retsuden engine? I always heard that Smackdown was pretty much taken right from one of the Touken Retsuden sequels.

Well, maybe the whole general idea was the same, but there are obvious changes.

Why is it that Touken Retsuden had the match save feature, yet other games after didn't ? I mean its a feature thats revolutionary to todays standard, yet the other smackdown games never implemented it, What I'm talking about is that you could save the footage of a match you had in the game in Touken Retsuden

I loved it when it came out. The two hidden characters where a lot of fun too. It made me sad that the second game never came out. It was promoted at E3, but they decided it didn't sell well enough for a sequel.
WCW was also supposed to have a game based on the engine before THQ split from them, it was going to be called WCW Live. I wish that game had happened too.
