WWE Games' Cory Ledesma reassures fans that the popular sports series hasn't changed its spots following the bankruptcy of its publisher.
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.

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.
This series does need an overhaul for next gen. I know it won't happen with 2k14 and I'm fine with that but 2K15 needs to blow the socks off people. There was never truly anything next gen about this series after the ps2 days. The graphics did get better but it wasn't until WWE 12. This generation was simply an uphill struggle to get back some of the fun the previous generation had so much of and I seriously hope the next gen isn't just playing catch up still. I hope the developers can get some assistance from the 2K guys (vc) and get the superstars looking as good as Lebron in NBA 2k14 on ps4. That would be a good start.
2k is great with Franchise/dynasty modes in sports games. I'm sure they will be able to apply that same thought to WWE 2k15 for the next gen.
This game does look good though. Played 2k12 and it was awesome so I'm hoping this is even better.
I don't watch wrestling any more...haven't since about 97-98, so all the wrestlers in this game are from the era I watched. I don't care about the new people.
