To be fair, I thought the ports of all three of those games were fine, which is why I doubted you were planning to pick one of them.
Is it that Nitro game?

Give the man a gold star! It's WCW Nitro! In the late nineteen nineties, WCW was on top of the wrestling world kicking Vince McMahon's ass! The only wrestling organization in the sport's history to come anywhere close to putting the WWF out of business. WCW received some of the best wrestling games in history on the Nintendo 64, and one game on the PSX titled WCW vs. the World. So obviously a game based off their number one show "Monday Night Nitro" would be good, right?
Right?
WRONG!
WCW Nitro was terrible! The only good thing about it was the character select screen. The controls were trout, the gameplay were trout. Next to amazing games like WWF War Zone, Attitude, the SmackDown! franchise, and even WCW Mayhem, it was a disaster! I'd rather play the RAW games for Xbox. They're that bad. But this troutsandwich wasn't enough for Inland Productions. No. They made ANOTHER game just like it. WCWnWo Thunder. Same exact game just rebranded blue with more members added to the roster. Why take one dump on the gaming industry when you can take two? There's a reason Inland Productions only has seven games to their name.
This concludes ToriJ's Top 11 Worst Video Games List. Thank your lucky stars you've never played any of the games here (the dishonorable mentions were a joke by the way, the only games on that list that are as terribad as the rest are the Sega games). ToriJ will wait a couple of months before making new list, unless people pester the ToriJ to make it sooner. What list will ToriJ make next? A Top 11 Best PSX Games? A top 11 Best Sega Genesis Games? A Top 11 Best SNES games? A Top 11 Games I hate that people love? Will ToriJ ever count past 11 again? Only the moon knows.
Excelsior!
I think I was rather fortunate at the time, as I wasn't a wrestling fan and the only wrestling game I played on the N64 was WrestleMania 2000, which was great.
You'd think WCW would have been more careful about who they licensed to. :/
To be fair, they were licensed to THQ who published a lot of good wrestling games in the past. It's just for whatever reason they scraped the bottom of the barrel with Inland. This game came out the same year as WCW vs. nWo World Tour so there's no excuse.
The only one of these I've played is Superman 64 and that game is terrible. I don't really ever buy games I don't enjoy the few times I've played a bad game they were either rentals or given to me for free: Alien 3, Fighter's Destiny, and Superman 64.
Shaq-Fu gets trout on a lot, but I had some fun with it. I'm not going to say it's great though. It barely makes a 5.
Shaq-Fu had some very poor design choices, especially in regards to the jumping, but I remember liking several of the character designs. Sett-Ra, in particular, was a pretty cool battle mummy and his teleport and jumping slash were damn stylish.
The only ones out of these I actually bought were 7, 9, 10 and 11, and 10 was for review purposes. Numbers 1, 2, 3, and 8 were rentals. 4 and 6 belonged to my brother. 5 was a game I played while at my cousin's house going through his SNES collection. I got Devil May Cry 2 and Star Trek Encounters through name recognition alone, and I loved Spider-Man 2 as a kid. It just hasn't aged well.
