Wow, interesting.

Looks A LOT like Impact, though.

I feel like I should know who the hell any of those people are. Aside from La Parka, of course.

We'll see how it plays.

Holy shit that's cool.

Looks like Legends of Wrestling with better graphics.

I visited my father who works in Mexico City last summer and saw a AAA show.
It was seriously bad ass and the atmosphere was very different than that of an American wrestling show. The coolest part probably was that there was all types of vendors walking around with any possibly snack imaginable. Some people were having freaking soups while watching wrestling, some had mango. It was bad ass.
Anyways, pretty cool they are getting their own game.

Is AAA the company with Mystico, Dr. Wagner, and Ultimo Dragon? If so, I'm buying this.

If not, they need to make a CMLL game.

But I'm pretty sure they are in AAA.

- Commentary will be in Spanish.
- Certain moves can only be available after you build momentum, and of course the big special is available after you max out.

It's coming out for Wii as well. And you beat up Mexicans in the game. You don't want this?

Yesssssss Dr. Wagner Jr.

But Mistico wrestles for CMLL.

I feel like pulling out the old N64 and giving No Mercy a few rounds.

Is this the one with the Day of Reckoning engine?

No, that's a japanese game. Wrestle Kingdom

Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring

Huh, hadn't heard about this.

Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring is, quite simply, a lucha libre wrestling game. Based upon the incredibly popular Mexican wrestling, this style of wrestling is as over the top as the American counterpart, but is studded with even more outlandish personalities, sometimes more violent wrestling skills, and the sacramental respect for the mask, the ever famous disguise almost all luchadors. Lucha libre has a minor following in the English speaking market as more of a novelty, but for Spanish speaking immigrants and people all across latin america, the luchadors can reach major heights of fame.

Now, my hands-on with Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring didn't exactly show me something extremely new with the gameplay. Coming to every console available, with the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PSP and DSiWare all receiving versions. I checked out the PS3 and Xbox 360 version, and I can make this claim: it is a wrestling game, and to know if it is better than the rest would take more hands-on time. However, good old wrestling favorites, like a create-a-character mode, a 25 part story mode, online play, and up to four players all mean that the good old standbys of wrestling games will be here.

Thankfully, the development studio behind the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, Immersion Games, is a studio based in Mexico, and everyone involved, from the CEO to younger brothers of the PR (yep, they were there) had an obvious glee and love of lucha libre. It is clear these guys love the sport.

Core elements of lucha libre will make an appearance. First of all, the masks (and the famous men behind them) are making a strong appearance. There are dudes like La Parka and other legends of the ring will be making an appearance. Also, the elements of the mask will be coming, so Mask and Hair matches will be coming. Huh? Well these matches are matches where the mask and a wrestler's hair is on the line. If a wrestler losses a match, he'll have to show his mask or shave his head. In luchador culture, this could be an end of a career, and these sort of matches will be available for online matches. Unfortunately, the legendary wrestlers will not be allowed to do this on these online matches, as you don't want to ruin those guy's careers.

Other luchador elements to make an appearance in the game is the element of popularity. Each wrestler has a few special moves and one super move that they need to fill a meter before that they can use. Popularity means that if the crowd likes you, you can pull all these elements off, and so taunting your opponent, or, uh, sexily enticing all the women in the crowd, will fill up your meter and allow you to pull off these moves. There are some locks placed on these super moves for realism (pull off a special move, and your meter will literally frost over for a while), and this is designed to make entertaining matches.

Finally, even language has been designed to appeal to the Spanish speaking audience. With only a language switch of your game settings, the entire game can be done with either English or in Spanish. Yes, all the announcers are famous Spanish (or less famous English) luchador announcers. This is actually pretty cool, as hearing everything done in Spanish was a nice change of things. For a game appealing to a certain cultural group, it is nice to see the developers go all the way.

I for one have always been interested in seeing how games designed for the Spanish language market would do in the United States, and why such games have never really existed. That is why Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring is so interesting, as the focus on a cultural group in America that is normally ignored is really neat to see. The developers are confidant. One representative said “We already know we will have great success” and the team is really looking forward to strong word of mouth. For those who like wrestling, and those who just want to see something different, Lucha Libre AAA: Héroes del Ring looks like it might just offer that.

Sounds interesting. Hope it's good.
