The N64 wrestling games were far superior to their Play Station competition. Den of Geek, in fact, ranks "WWF No Mercy" on N64 as the best wrestling game of all time.
1. WWF No Mercy
2000 | AKI Corporation | N64
Nearly two decades later, there still hasn’t been a wrestling game that tops No Mercy. AKI was at the top of its game here, crafting a perfectly paced and accessible game with depth that fans are still mastering. Seriously, there are tons of mods out there for gamers looking to include current WWE and NXT superstars on the roster. But even without those mods, No Mercy remains infinitely replayable, with a huge roster, tons of match types, and the deepest create-a-wrestler mode ever made. It’s hard to pin down any one thing that makes No Mercy the best wrestling game ever made, but the developers at Yuke’s would be well-advised to spend some time with it while working on the next WWE game.

No comparison. And the load times on the Play Station games were atrocious. And, I speak as someone who had and played both with friends A LOT. I'm not saying that the Smackdown games on PS1 weren't fun. But, they weren't better looking than the N64 wrestling games by any means.
