Big Show will not be on no mercy although you are able to buy the 'showkishi' and 'showster' outfits in the smackdown mall.
Scheduled for release in the first half of 2000, the game allows players to live vicariously through their favorite WWF Superstars. In head-to-head and multi-player matches, fans will have the opportunity to direct the moves and counter-moves of their online Superstars in a quest to achieve the ultimate goal—the online WWF championship. THQ and Jakks Pacific will co-fund the development and marketing of the WWF online project in a deal independent from their joint venture agreement.
"Millions and millions of WWF fans tune in at least twice a week to learn the fate of their favorite Sports-Entertainment Superstars," said Brian J. Farrell, president and chief executive officer, THQ. "Soon all of these fans will have a hand in the destiny of each of these superstars via the only virtual WWF experience that can be updated and played out in real time."
"We are thrilled to be working with THQ, Jakks Pacific and the Superstars of the WWF," said Shawn Broderick, President of Genetic Anomalies. "Over their 50-year history, the WWF has become one of the most exciting forms of entertainment in the world. We look forward to working with them to translate that excitement to the interactive online realm."
