WCW-nWo Thunder Launch Release (France, Germany, Italy, UK)

WCW-nWo Thunder is a wrestling game developed by Inland Productions and published by THQ, serving as the sequel to WCW Nitro. This copy is the Original PAL release, catalogued under serial SLES-01663 and dated 5 February 1999. It is a single multi-country edition covering the UK, France, Germany and Italy, so the one English-language disk and Full Jewel PAL case were sold across all four territories. The game contains a single disk, and the EAN barcode is 0752919670248.

Gameplay builds on the earlier Nitro with cage matches, battle royals, weapons and selectable stables such as nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac and Raven’s Flock. The roster includes Goldberg, Hollywood Hogan, Sting and Bret Hart. Although the original reviews were unkind, the game remains a recognisable piece of late 1990s wrestling history.

As the only catalogued variant of this title, it is the definitive PAL copy to look for, and it is straightforward to identify by its serial and barcode.
