ooooh, so that's when moves started becoming interruptible.
Which then led to some hilarious animation fumbles in multi man matches.

Does Nintendo Switch have the Grape-Fruits to handle the graphical standards of a WWE 2K game!?

Shit, i'd rather them use the PS2 engine than this current one. The move animations looked 10x better than they do now.

You know, I came in here to post something about Switch 3rd party support, but after seeing these gifs, fuck it. I'm doubled over here.
Hopefully it will be on the US version. You still can't preorder the Switch version of NBA 2K18. Same goes for FIFA too. The PS4 and XBO versions are up though for all three of these games.

The same Codemasters that decided not to release a game on Switch because they couldn't figure out how to get it to work with a single Joycon?
Not this year though.
Find out Summerslam I guess. Wrestlemania is usually the cut off though.

You sure you want to take a bet that a WWE2K game will be good?

The last two games have been good, what are u talking about??

It was bug filled, inexcusably bug filled, but I enjoyed it a LOT more than 2k16.

To be fair, Raw has been pretty good the past few weeks (okay, not the best example, but just saying).

Probably will be too late like usual and then you can buy a $10 DLC to add them.
That's true! Looking on their own store on the 2K site, you're able to preorder the standard version for Switch, but not the deluxe version yet. That said, the collector's edition still isn't available for preorder for any system at all at the moment. Guess it's still all a toss up right now!

Is that even coming out on the switch?

No but luckily for me I have a PC as well. Just odd to see people getting hype over a WWE 2K game on GAF. Usually the threads for 2K go a bit differently

So we can't get excited for a video game?
Either way it made me laugh, lol.

Yeah. The timeline that they went with the DoR engine over the Smackdown one is the best timeline.
I imagine it had a lot to do with PS2 having the most popular franchise.

Oh shit! Ill be picking this up for sure. Now give me Fire Pro and ill be in heaven
But no Madden this year, which to me makes zero sense, Madden was launch on WiiU and 3DS, but it is EA
Tho I do expect Madden next year on Switch
The Albatross
Member
Yeah it's odd. Although Madden seems behind in development for this year with the switch from 'Ignite' to Frostbite, so who knows... Might have been too much to chew off.

Can't say anything about an unreleased game...
Really feels like EA is waiting to see how Fifa does before committing to regular yearly titles along with Madden and NBA Live. My understanding is that the Wii U/3DS versions of Madden sold like absolute garbagio so I can understand why they're hesitant.
Well they have to put at least one version of Madden on Switch, Frosbite is suppose to be able to work on Switch according to an EA dev, so next year I can Madden and Fifa using frosbite, I think Fifa is gonna sell really well.
Also Madden on 3DS was awful and came out in like March, then WiiU version came out in Nov way after the other releases, so there was no way those games were gonna sale good.

I'm not into wrestling like I used to be, but a portable Wrestling game sounds like the perfect thing to get me interested again. Fire Pro Wrestling almost had me convinced, but I don't know if I want to play it on a PC. Too bad it's not a Switch game. Would have been a great place for it, like the other indies making their way to the Switch.

These games are trash, but they're the "playing with four friends leaves you in stitches when you have no idea what the fuck is going on" kind of trash. The videogame equivalent of "so bad it's good". I'll pick this up on Switch for sure.

Who same day release date as other consoles. Might bite on this after Mario comes out or if I really need something to get me to Mario.

I never understand the full on hate for these games. They review fairly well, sell pretty good, and are damn fun with a couple of friends. Are they perfect? No. Do they add and remove features every year? Yes. Calling them trash and shit every year just kinda rubs me the wrong way though. Still one of my most played games every year and I can't wait to have this on the go.
My money is on paid DLC for th Hardys.

Exactly, I don't get it. Is it perfect? No. I'd give the average WWE game a 7/10. But I buy the game and the season pass every year because I put in at least 100 hours into the game. It's the only wrestling game out there, deal with it.
The only thing I really think should receive hate is the fact that every version seems to be unfinished no matter how many patches. The developers earn flack for that. Beyond that just be happy that there's a WWE game.

It's nice to see the attitude turn around a bit on the 2k games here.
I would much prefer a new engine at this point as they keep building atop a very old one but the games themselves are a lot of fun every year. I get very good matches out of the current games. They are glitchy as fuck though.
The online needs a complete overhaul as well. It's embarrassingly bad.

Madden 18 is the first to use Frostbite (only).

The director expressed interest in the Switch, so maybe later.
Like Madden would've ever been anything other than the cheapest possible roster update of the last PS3/360 game.

For Nintendo consoles it's a major happening to get a WWE game.
Last great portable wrestling game I had was on PSP, but it was like a full fledged, console wrestling game. It'll be great having this experience again, but on a more powerful platform.
