He looks oddly bloated and rubbery in that rendering.

He looks oddly bloated and rubbery in that rendering.

Someone on another board said he looked like a bizarre fusion of Triple H and Husky Harris.

Is that Waylon Mercy's shadow in the top right?

Is that Waylon Mercy's shadow in the top right?

No, they're saving Waylon for "WWE: The Forgotten Ones". Also featuring Braden Walker, with commentary by Sean Mooney.

"Who?"

The top right shadow I believe is this man:

 

[vivisectvi]

One of them has to be Undertaker. I'm guessing the next to Mysterio..

The one under Slaughter has a cowboy hat on..

Also, the one next to HHH makes me think of a JYD stance..

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Pretty sure Taker is between Rey and Rock while Cowboy Hat is Michaels.

 

[bps21]

Snuka must be in there somewhere. They always shoehorn a Jimmy Snuka appearance in.

You'd figure Taker, Michaels and Austin are in there somewhere.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Snuka is far left middle. The guy next to him looks pretty generic but somehow I think it looks like Orndorff. Maybe it's STUNNING STEVE in a swerve though.

Actually I've decided those 3 in a row are Snuka, Lex Luger, and though it resembles a JYD pose, the 3rd one is actually an All-Stars jacked up Steve Austin.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Any guesses on front row between Eddie and Kofi? My only guess for that one was Miz.

 

[bps21]

This game needs some Jericho and Miz and Punk and Ziggler. Swagger is so last year.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Miz is bottom left.

 

[Broward83]

Is it just me, or does Jake's DDT look more like Edge's swing-out DDT he's used over the years instead of his signature quick-snap DDT?

 

[bps21]

The other 8 are:

Punk, Miz, Taker, Mcintyre, Perfect, Snuka, HBK and Austin

Also DLC will include: Road Warriors, Dusty and Cody, Ted and Ted jr., Jericho, Rtruth, Bossman, Mark Henry (big seller there), Lawler, and the biggest African-American person of them all...Michael Hayes.

 

[vivisectvi]

Bossman, Perfect, Jake + DiBiase Sr all in a current gen game? Finally I can recreate some of my favourite WrestleFest tag team combinations! Wish Demolition was in this as they'd be a perfect fir for this kind of game!

 

[Mattdotcom]

Have they said anything about Create-A-Wrestler for All-Stars?

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Have they said anything about Create-A-Wrestler for All-Stars?

It's in.

On Raw they had CAW George Washington vs. CAW Abraham Lincoln.

 

[Danville_Wrestling]

I'm loving the roster for this game. I might have to pick it up if the reviews are any good for it.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I have no idea where the source is but one of the cut and paste reporters on Rajah said SVR 2012 is going to include NXT challenges. If there were two things I thought this year's franchise lacked, it was definitely keg carries and wheelbarrel races.

 

[Mattdotcom]

NXT has been set up to be video game minigames since day one. Hopefully, Talk the Talk Challenges will be quick time events.

Here's WWE All Star Achievement list. There is a joke in here and it's towards the bottom.

[The Buzz]

Is it that The Warrior still owns HHH after all these years?

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Natsume Championship Wrestling went up on for the Virtual Console today. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

[oldskool]

My aunt has the SNES version sitting around. No manual means nobody knows how the fuck to do anything, but it's an OK button mashing time regardless.

 

[vivisectvi]

Definitely not a BUTTon masher. It's timing based like Firepro. I played the shit out of NCW back when it came out. Though th AJPW games it's based on are better and deeper, this one is still fun.

 

[oldskool]

That explains why we never got it to do anything! Still fun to just hit buttons & see what ridiculous move you'll end up doing. You'd figure out one move & then spam it until you started wrestling with the spammer...ah, youth.

 

[Dobbs3K]

I actually had Natsume on my SNES back in the day. It was one of those really cheap games at our local Shopko. I probably paid like $15 or $20 for it brand new.

Anyway, yeah...I sucked at it at first, then figured out that you couldn't just mash buttons like in the WWF games. Once you get the timing down, it's pretty fun. First wrestling game I can remember seeing a real powerbomb and moonsault in. I wish I had a chance to play the AJPW game it was based on, but I never found a version that worked on an emulator.

 

[bps21]

Played demo of WWE all stars. Did not like.

 

[Broward83]

Feel the same way. Maybe its just me, but I couldn't figure out how to pick my opponent up and off of the mat and the whole finishing move grapple takes way too fucking long to initiate.
