dam man really I dont even like wrestling games but this is just bad news AGAIN first EA yesterday now this today.....man where would nintendo be without the gamboy/ds?

LOL_WUT3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

Man I still remember that WWF game for the SNES. I used to hate that one clown those were some good times ;)

Edit: This sucks but it doesn't matter though because wrestling has gone down hill time to pull the plug. ;)

DeadlyFire3995d ago

I was actually expecting this. 2K took over mid-way. WWE 2k14 could be a rushed slopjob. Could be a reason why they skimmed it down to just PS3/X360 versions this year. I expect next year it will spread to all the major platforms.

Alot of publishers are worried about releasing games on the WiiU. Its install base is very small. I expect alot of titles to skim over the WiiU until it hits 10+ million sold.

yewles13996d ago

So the rumors of Take Two not wanting to do with the Wii U may be true...

It's neither literal nor exclusive.

knifefight3995d ago

Yeah.
I do not think the game picked up a Wii U and threw it on the ground. The author needs to learn English.

SilentNegotiator3996d ago (Edited 3996d ago )

But it's all good, since we retroactively don't want any games that we find out won't come to our system, right gang? Wii U doesn't "need" EA, or Take Two, or Insomniac, or etc, etc, etc!

EA I kind of agree with. I do enjoy Fifa but I cant stand the dlc for it.

Take two... damn Nintendo better do something about this, I couldnt give a crap about wrestling games but there are a ton of other games that would be sorely missed eg anything from Rockstar.

FYI Insomniac have said they like WiiU and will make games for it if the install base makes it a profitable option.

2pacalypsenow3995d ago (Edited 3995d ago )

Fifa has no DLC the only thing you can pay for is ultimate team which you dont have to pay its just harder if you dont . the last DLC fifa had was the UEFA euro 2012

ChillOut7073995d ago

MAY BE that was the original plan for THQ and Yukes to develop only for PS3/Xbox360 As Wii U is considered to be a new system and we all know all the trouble THQ had in the last year so to reduce costs they MAY have decided to skip nintendo for this release until they have a comfortable amount of money to develop for Wii U

Consider WWE2K14 to be half THQ and half 2K , the real influence of 2K on WWE games will begin from WWE2K15 and then we may get a Wii U , PC , VITA , 3DS versions like most other sports games do

Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

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.

The Wood1557d ago

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

Rambokind1557d ago

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

Acecalibur1558d ago

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

micdagoat191558d ago

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

b163o11557d ago (Edited 1557d ago )

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

micdagoat191554d ago

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

TheTony3161558d ago

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

addictedtochaos1558d ago

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

Games we’re ashamed to admit we play

MyGaming: "We all secretly love a number of games we’d never tell anyone else about, games that make us seem like simpletons, suckers or sellouts.

They’re games that are way below our age group, games we know are critical failures, games that are embarrassing to play in a group or that the community despise in general.

Nevertheless, we play them, and we enjoy them too – when no one is looking of course.

These are the games most often spoken about in hushed tones by so many of us"

I'm not so much ashamed for having played SingStar as I am sorry for the people that were listening to it.

And Lego games are fun. No need to be ashamed for playing them imo.

Spotie3200d ago

SingStar was one of our party games. We usually wound up competing boys against girls. Us boys always won.

Army_of_Darkness3200d ago

Karaoke American Idol is much better than singstar... Great drunken party game :-) and I enjoyed lollipop chainsaw as well lol!

WildArmed3200d ago

Definitely no shame in Lego games.

As for just dance and other similar gams, party games are super fun... As long as you aren't playing alone :P

GoPanthers9993200d ago

Plants vs Zombies GW and Splatoon - I am 44, I don't tell anyone that I play these. Both are great games.

wonderfulmonkeyman3200d ago

The only one I felt ashamed of owning, off the top of my head, was TMNT: Smash Up.
I got rid of it not long afterwards, though, so I'm not sure that counts...
I guess maybe Child of Light?
I love the story and combat, but Ubisoft hasn't really done much in the last 3 years to warrant my patronage outside of that game, so I guess I feel a little guilty about giving them money for it when they've burned me so many times before...

DeeboSlice3199d ago

Child of Light was excellent. No shame for that one. It is just a sleeper.

wonderfulmonkeyman3199d ago

Like I said, I like the game.
Just not the company.

Why I’m Looking Forward to WWE 2K14

Frontburnr: For years, people have been begging for innovation out of the WWE series. Year after year, Yuke’s will add a feature, but remove certain moves. Really obvious inclusions will be taken out, and a random character will be added. The series has suffered from “Madden syndrome” for a while in that it produces very few innovations, yet churns out a yearly sequel.
