Unrelated to the above query, I got AAA on the cheap and it's easily the most counterintuitive "fighting" game I've ever played. I do get big laughs by kicking an opponent and they fly out of the ring in defiance of gravity, god, and good sense.

 

[vivisectvi]

Might as well ask here.

Natsume Pro-Wrestling is on Wii Virtual Console.

Should I bother picking it up or no?

Yes. If you like timing based Firepro style games. This is like a simpler version.. Thought the timing can be trickier in this one. You may want to download a rom first to see if you're into it.

I watched the WWE 12 live demo on ign. The game visually looks incredible IMO.

[Big Papa Paegan]

I have no audio on this comp, but I must say...the graphics look like an updated version of last year's game (par for the course) and I like the "healthbar" as opposed to the halo around your feet like in SVR '11. It looks like the same limited movesets remain, however, which is what really turned me off post-'07.

Love how they "completely rebuilt" the game but are still recycling the same old generic celebration animations..

 

[KingPK]

Ok, Ricardo doing the announcement for Del Rio is awesome, but I fail to see how this is any different from the engine they have now. And I see they didn't even bother with the commentary.

BUT IT'S ALL NEW, MAN!! YOU CAN STOP SOMEBODY MID-MOVE WITH A PUNCH!!

BUT IT'S ALL NEW, MAN!! YOU CAN STOP SOMEBODY MID-MOVE WITH A PUNCH!!

Which makes no sense since, I'm pretty sure you could realistically stop someone in the middle of doing something with a punch.

 

[Exslade ZX]

Yea, because I'm sure every safe working wrestler has the urge to punch someone in the middle of doing a suplex...or something other more dangerous moves.

edit- Love that attack to the back he did there...when he hit the double leg armbreaker.

 

[2GOLD]

I didn't say they WOULD do it, but shit, realistically the shit would stop it.

 

[Master Thrasher]

Looking at the Miz/ADR match, the animation looks a lot more realistic in previous games. If I was watching that video far away, I'd probably think it was a real match.

Sammy Sosa - It's So Real!!!

Looking at the Miz/ADR match, the animation looks a lot more realistic in previous games. If I was watching that video far away, I'd probably think it was a real match.

That's what I thought watching the ign demo last night.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I didn't say they WOULD do it, but shit, realistically the shit would stop it.

I didn't say it wasn't realistic. I'm pointing out how it's pretty much the exact same game, appearance-wise, as last year's, right down to a lot of the move animations.

If I buy the legends pack from SvR 2009 (Doink, Vader, Bushwhackers), can I import those into Legends of WrestleMania?

 

[vivisectvi]

No

 

[HSJ]

I better be able to play as both "Dashing" and "Disfigured" Cody Rhodes in WWE 12.

Via Joystiq: THQ has revealed the upcoming DLC schedule for WWE All Stars (a game so good we gave it almost all of our stars). Available now is the Million Dollar Pack – previously only available for pre-orders – which includes Ted "Million Dollar Man" DiBiase and his son ... Ted DiBiase. The pack can be had for $2.

Next on the list, July 5 brings the All-Time Greats pack, which features Hawk, Animal, Jerry "The King" Lawler and Chris Jericho for $4. The wrestler R-Truth will also be available as a free download on July 5. Finally, the Southern Charisma pack will debut on August 2 for $3 and will include Big Boss Man, Michael Hayes and Mark Henry.

At this point, there's only one question left to ask: Where the hell is Cyndi Lauper?

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

Big Bossman will get me playing the game again. I hope he jumps 100 feet in the air to do the Bossman slam.

 

[bps21]

R-Truth is a free download? CONSPIRACY.

 

[ChrisMWaters]

Now the question is did they use the time between DLC to modify the game Truth to be like current R-Truth...or will this be pre-anti-Little Jimmies R-Truth?

 

[Dangerous Damon]

Love how they "completely rebuilt" the game but are still recycling the same old generic celebration animations..

I'm almost positive they used an old Eddie Guerrero celebration for Del Rio.

 

[KOAB]

That's just one of those generic celebrations. It looks like it should be an Eddie Guerrero one but I can remember everyone from Kane to Curt Hawkins doing it before.

 

[vivisectvi]

I had Taker do it once in 2011.

 

[KOAB]

If they're just gonna continue the bullshit generic celebrations... can there be more than 5 this time?

It was eventually revealed by Sal DiVita during a review of WWE All Stars by Xbox Addict.com that Adam Bomb was indeed hidden deep within the game: "he even confirmed the existing rumor that Adam Bomb is hidden within the annals of the game, though he would not divulge how to obtain him, stating only that the character was incomplete and there was no sense in attempting to procure him"

Good to have that cleared up 16 years later. I remember reading on the net that they were going to release a new version removing Lex Luger and replacing him with Adam Bomb.
