I'm not even kidding this is the most excited I've ever been for a 3rd party game announcement. I don't care how bad they are, I have wanted a "good" portable wrestling game for almost 8 years.

Spoiler

I buy these games every year and tell myself "THIS will be the year they finally make a good game!" but I'm always wrong. I finally decided I was skipping it this year, but if it's on Switch I can't refuse. You win again, 2K!

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Haven't played a good wrestling game since Def Jam Vendetta.

[hydragonwarrior]

Create a character hype!

[ngower]

Jesus this is spot on

 

[Eradicate]

LMAO!!! I'm so glad this is finally coming to Nintendo so more nonsense like this can happen!

 

[Hattori]

this is going to be my first wrestling game since Here Comes the Pain 😬

 

[MaximumSpider]

Okay, I'm buying now

 

[Sponge]

Awesome news. I remember I had a few WWF games on my N64.

Bring back the best song, 2K

 

[ambar_hitman]

Loved the Wwe games on PSP. Sorely missed them on Vita. Finally I can play WWE on a handheld.

 

[mooooose]

Will definitely get this if it's a good port.

This is the team-up I always wanted to see

I had this in my head about 4 months ago and couldn't figure out where it came from or where I heard it! It's been years! This is the best song, and it syncs up with the Tom Nook entrance GIF above your post!

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Baseball ... Thats all i want.

Be hard for someone to compete with Sony, does Xbox even have a decent baseball game.

I'm just hoping for Baseball Stars Neo Geo before too long. And maybe the NES version, playing the shit out of that earning lots of money by challenging the prestigious Lovely Ladies.

[Wuthering_Heights]

Is it sad that all this news does is make me want a Mario wrestling game?

An update from the article on WWE.com:

WWE 2K18 is not yet rated by the ESRB and is currently scheduled for worldwide release in Fall 2017 on Nintendo Switch as well as on Oct. 17, 2017, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

So it may not be day-and-date with the release of the XB1 and PS4 versions after all.

Haven't seen gameplay of either games, but you already made your pick

Yeah, Heard about this. Hopefully it's not too far behind.

 

[Hasney]

Gut feel is that they're aiming for the same date, but give themselves some wiggle room in case it needs more work.

 

[LordKano]

I just got a PR mail saying that the Switch version is only planned for Fall and not yet for October 17th, I guess that's why they didn't announce it at the same time as other versions.

Yeah, has been known for a few days, but thanks for checking in to be sure.

 

[Eradicate]

Don't know if it's been posted, but the game page is up on Nintendo's site: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/wwe-2k18-switch

Doesn't look like any new information though from scanning through it! It says number of players "to be determined," but that may be about it. Also, there are apparently two Kurt Angle's in the preorder, which I didn't know about. Still no definitive signs of the deluxe edition or a firm release date yet! In time!

 

[Ondore]

I think the first one is 2000-era Kurt Angle and the other one is the ECW Kurt Angle before he jumped in 2006.

I know what I'm getting with a WWE 2K game, it'll be the same basic have Yukes has been putting out for years. That's cool and all and I'll get it, but I still wish they'd gone for something different and I do think a game that plays like an updated No Mercy would have been fun and a nice change up. Plus you can't deny the power a nostalgia play can do on a Nintendo system.

Are we pretending Def Jam Vendetta was a bad game now?

I read that as he was confirming that Def Jam Vendetta was a good game

It can now be preordered from US Amazon if anyone is interested. Amazon Prime discount isn't applied to yet though.

Nice. I'm waiting to see if the collector's (or even the deluxe) edition gets announced for the Switch.

 

[shanafan]

Collector's editions of WWE 2K18 getting announced tomorrow. Fingers crossed for collector's (or even deluxe) coming to Switch..

Yeah, looks good. It appears Rollins has on normal pants, as they are missing his signature SR belt buckle.

Switch version will look comparable. I ain't worried.

If Seth is that ripped then I'm assuming this is an All-Stars sequel

Maybe that's suppose to be Elias.
