that's neat

[Kane Knight]

I hope THQ folds!

[Juan]

I've been wanting to play the original again for like 15 years. Hopefully this doesn't disappoint

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Probably no hope of an Android port. :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I've been wanting this for ages.

Shame the art style sucks, but we'll see gameplay wise.

I've got the original on MAME on my iPhone and it's basically unplayable for the button bashing bits.

[XCaliber]

This was the best WWE arcade game ever made I hope it doesn't lose much in the conversion i'll definetly be checking it out.

[D Mac]

I'll be getting this for my brand new iPad 2!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'll be getting this for my brand new iPad 2!

You've just bought a brand new iPad 2 with the 3 probably only a month away?

Ouch.

[D Mac]

Meh it'll probably cost an arm and a leg anyways. 2 is good enough.

[VSG]

More like it will cost the same as you paid for your iPad 2, which in turn will have reduced its price by then.

[Emperor Smeat]

Looks pretty decent but the audio sounds horrible.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Would rather have a No Mercy 64 port.

[The Genius]

needs more sgt. slaughter, demolition, earthquake, mr perfect etc...

[weather vane]

Wow thats shitty. Could of been epic...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Loads of DLC to come I've just read.

I'm not sure what a lot of you were expecting. It looks alright apart from the art style, everything else seems fairly faithful. You'll probably need iCade or something to play it though if it supports it... I'm not mashing my screen.

Really not sure why it's not XBLA/PSN though.

[Destor]

looks like it plays like the old NES wrestling games...awesome

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Downloading now, can't argue at £1.99... Although there's already a DLC pack available at 69p which I think is what all that locked shit in the video is... Meaning I have to pay for Punk.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fuck me this is fun. After 20 years of playing the original whenever I saw it and still busting out MAME now and again, this is jizzworthy.

I bought the DLC after my first match and seeing the GTS in this style is awesome... Although I don't get why he has some sort of raised reverse neck lock as a submission finisher, was really hoping he'd bust out the anaconda.

Gonna play this to death tonight after work.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Mene Gene doing the post fight cutscenes like he did after completing Superstars.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Couple of gripes:

Even out of energy, it's easy to kick out of pins so you have to stand and wait for them to get up and put them in a sleeper if you don't have a ground submission.

Sheamus has no Brogue Kick but has the peoples elbow.

Really difficult to climb the top rope and do tag moves

The weapons outside the ring don't knock people to the ground... Ever.

EDIT: Saturday Night's Main Event tag mode is 3 matches long. There is the tag titles to go for in Road to Wrestlemania though.

EDIT 2: Tiny one, no Picture In Picture of the wrestler coming to the ring in Royal Rumble.

[D Mac]

More like it will cost the same as you paid for your iPad 2, which in turn will have reduced its price by then.

Maybe I can take it back. :shifty:

[D Mac]

Too many kickouts.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

It's coming to XBLA, PSN and Android too. :heart:

[Xero]

WOOOO!

[G]

You've just bought a brand new iPad 2 with the 3 probably only a month away?

Ouch.

You're talking to the guy who bought PSN+ just to play the Mortal Kombat demo 2 days before it was released for everyone.

[RoXer]

You're talking to the guy who bought an HD-DVD player 2 days after it was announced that it would no longer be supported.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I did do that with HD-DVD.

Best decision I ever made. £20 for the player with 3 movies and most movies are now £1 or even less for sparkling HD content :heart:.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No 2-man pins and I just had a 4 way match at the Smackdown before Fatal Four Way and have a singles match at that event.

[Swish]

I wouldn't waste my money buying this shit, I'd rather save and buy the original arcade version of Wrestlefeast

[James Steele]

I wouldn't waste my money buying this shit, I'd rather save and buy the original arcade version of Wrestlefeast

I wouldn't have wasted the semen it took to create you.

[Swish]

I wouldn't have wasted the semen it took to create you.

Don't worry, their is a little James Steele in all of us.

[Wehttam]

swish

[#BROKEN Hasney]

OK, now the nostalgia has worn off, I've just realised it is wayyyyyyyyyy too easy. It's an arcade game, it should be unfair. Instead, the AI is retarded when it comes to reversals. They will reverse everything if you do the same thing more than 3 times but won't reverse anything before that.

So basically hit a grapple move, pick up by the hair and do another and then another, then thrown them against the ropes and hit them and do 3 grapple moves again. Hit the ground submission and you win any singles match within 30 seconds.

Gonna need a better art style and to fix all my gripes if they want me to buy it on console as well.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Should also have chiptine theme songs. That would be fucking awesome.

[VSG]

No commentary makes me sad.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Makes me happy. Very happy.

EDIT: I should clarify: Original commentary would be awesome. Michael Cole, not so much.

[VSG]

That, and the lack of the original game music. Loved that :'(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That does suck. I hum it while I select a character and during the ring entrance at least.

[G]

I'll be getting this for my brand new iPad 2!

Apple today introduced "the next iPad" (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/03/07Apple-Launches-New-iPad.html), the latest generation of the company's popular tablet device. Offering a Retina display measuring in at 2048 x 1536 pixels, Apple claims that it is "redefining the category Apple created" with the original iPad. At 264 pixels per inch, the new display is considered Retina quality with indistinguishable pixels when held at the typical viewing distance of 15 inches.

Featuring an A5X system-on-chip with quad-core graphics, the Retina display offer 44% greater color saturation than its predecessor. All of Apple's stock apps have been optimized for the new ultra-high resolution display and existing apps from third-party developers will be automatically scaled up with text rendered for the new resolution. With additional work, developers can also optimize their entire apps for the new display.

On the camera front, the updated iPad features a 5-megapixel rear camera with advanced optics very similar to those found in the 8-megapixel camera on the iPhone 4S. 1080p video recording is also supported. Voice dictation as found on the iPhone 4S is also included.

Cellular-capable models of the new iPad also support 4G LTE as had been rumored by multiple sources. Supporting data speeds of up to 21 Mbps on HSPA+, 42 Mbps on dual-carrier HSPA+, and 73 Mbps on LTE, the new iPad offers a significant improvement in cellular data capabilities. LTE partners include AT&T and Verizon in the United States and Rogers, Telus, and Bell in Canada. Due to differences in frequency bands, AT&T and Verizon support will require separate models.

On the battery life front, the new iPad offers the same levels as before: 10 hours on Wi-Fi or 9 hours on 4G LTE. As for the device's size, it comes it a scant 0.6 mm thicker than the iPad 2 at 9.4 mm thick, and weighs 1.4 pounds versus the 1.33-pound iPad 2.

Pricing remains as before at $499/$599/$699 for Wi-Fi models and $629/$729/$829 for 4G LTE models, with capacities coming in at 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB. The new iPad launches on March 16 in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia.

Apple will also continue to offer the 16 GB iPad 2 in both Wi-Fi ($399) and Wi-Fi + 3G ($529) models.

[VSG]

lol I kept thinking of D Mac when Apple launched the prices for iPad 2

[D Mac]

Fuck.

I just had to have one didn't I.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

DLC Pack 2 is out. Zack Ryder, The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, Sgt. Slaughter, Yokozuna and WM27 arena.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Miz has a DDT as a finisher. What a rip.

[Emperor Smeat]

Did they add new moves or just take what was in the game since that sounds really lazy by THQ.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Most the guys have their actual finisher, Orton and Miz don't.

It's not just the new DLC either. Ryder has the Ruff Ryder.

[Xero]

What? There's no RKO in the game? What's Orton finish?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

His over the back backbreaker.

[D Mac]

Just jailbroke my ipad 2, gonna download a mame emulator and see if I can't get the original Wrestlefest on it.
