After WrestleMania "The Arcade Game" got some decent reviews, it was decided that a sequel would get made in the same style. Midway, the developers of WrestleMania, would not be involved in the sequel. Instead, Sculptured Software, a development company under the Acclaim umbrella, would get the oppurtunity to develop WWF In Your House.
Fans were eager for a new WWF game in 1996 but it appeared that Acclaim were not ready to deliver a full 3D wrestling title just yet. The PlayStation and Sega Saturn, while primitive, were capable of rendering 3D graphics and this was something that gamers of this time wanted to see. In Your House then, upon release, already looked slightly dated. It shouldn't matter though, a good game doesn't need to look spectacular in order to be playable, something that was already proven with the popular WrestleMania Arcade Game. If In Your House could keep the formula and add updates, it would probably have been well received, but it didn't.
This video from Wrestling Bios takes a look at WWF In Your House from 1996.
