Today 2K Sports finally revealed the star spangled roster for the “30 Superstars of Wrestlemania” mode of the upcoming game WWE 2K14, showcasing it in a rather spectacular trailer.
The best wrestling games range from all-time classics on the N64 all the way up to some surprising new hitters you should check out.
I was always partial to the arcade wrestling games like Saturday night slam masters, wwf superstars, wrestlefest, wrestlemania, wrestle war and then a NES classic... pro wrestling. By the time the N64 era of wrestling games happened, I wasnt into wrestling much anymore (tv & games).
Starman was awesome. I also remember a tan dude with bright yellow hair. Good times!
Virtual Pro Wrestling 1 & 2 > Most games on that list.
Also, WCW/NWO Revenge should be #2 minimum.
WWE 2k13 thanks to the WWE Attitude Mode. Followed by WWE Attitude and ECW Hardcore Evolution.
also: ECW! ECW! ECW!
Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.
Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.
I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.
I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games
Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge
Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.
There's been so many great wrestling games throughout the years. But this list of the 10 best wrestling games of all time will crown one true champion.
Which one was considered "the surprise"? Yokozuna? If that is who you are talking about, that isn't much of a surprise. Chris Benoit would have been a surprise. Maybe Batman. I definitely wouldn't have seen Batman coming.
Yes Razor Ramon.
Can't wait to see what 2K and the WWE have in store when it comes to Wrestlemania XX. Will it be HHH versus HBK, with the winner being blacked out? Will the game have Eddie Guerrero? Will we see Eddie embrace Rey Mysterio at the end, or will it be Eddie with a random Canadian? Will they have HHH win the World Heavyweight championship and bury Chris Benoit even after his death? What about Angle, since he's not in the game, but still had numerous Wrestlemania matches; will they simply be ignored?
As for the confirmed wrestlers, what's the point of having retro Taker and current Taker when the latter is a throwback to the former. The game does have american badass Taker, so why not put him in the roster announcement. Why does it seem like retro HHH is just HHH with longer hair, DX era HHH would have been a better choice if you're going to put 2 HHH in the game. Will Randy Orton face the Undertaker as "the viper" or will we also have the young and cocky legend killer? Will Batista have his "I walk alone" theme, or will they give him his old instrumental theme in order to save a few bucks on royalties?
And, while it's nice to have the game celebrate the history of Wrestlemania, not having the Dudleys nor the Hardy boyz, pretty much means ignoring the awesome TLC matches they had.
So many questions. So if I get this right, this year's WWE game is still using the old and outdated engine AND it's main single player mode will likely filled with holes and anachronisms, all of that in addition of not being released on next gen consoles. New publisher, but same old game. I really can't wait.
Holy Goldberg shit...ok 2k can't want for your exclusive next-gen consoles WWE title...
Why are retro characters used as separate characters? Seems like they're padding out the roster.
