I have nothing more to say about this. I'm laughing too hard. :jest:

Saw pics of it in PSM a couple of months back, the "plot" is laughable, but at least the core game has a chance at being good.

On the surface, worst game ever.
Underneath...Well I don't remember Aki making anything bad, and NBA Street while stupid and ghetto (Sort of like this..) wasn't too shabby.

I'd probably give it a rental..but I'd make someone do it for me =X Interesting..

**Edit**

Whats up with all the white people in the screenshots?

Wow that sounds terrible.

¿?¿? says "Even though it is physically impossible, this game both sucks and blows"

Fuck man, I don't think any of you understand my pain.

Everybody knows that wrestling games are by FAR my favorite games, and I have ALWAYS thought that the Aki wrestling games are the best ones ever, with only Firepro and GG2K coming close. It was bad enough when I found out that THQ picked fucking Yukes to make WMX8 for GC, but when I found out what Aki was actually working on....

Christ, let's not talk about this...

Maybe Aki is just tired of fucking making the same crap over and over again for THQ, especially on the N64. I mean, Im not saying that this Def Jam Vendetta looks amazing, but who knows? The Wu Tang Clan game turned out to be not half bad, it could end up okay. In fact it could turn out to be pretty good. Rapjam Volume 2, or something.

The dev group nearly went bankrupt, and, if this title does well (which is won't), they might be able to start making a wrestling game that people might want (TNA, TNA, TNA.)

...or that wrestling game featuring Bluegrass artists that everyone was clamoring for...

Hey, what a good idea! Here's the original thread Ammadeau's talking about:

I'm definitely going to rent this for the humour value. Hopefully Russell Simmons is an unlockable boss.

The game looks to be a combination of WWF No Mercy and NBA Street (two games I really liked), with a little bit of Def Jam culture thrown in for good measure. I can't say I'm the least bit interested in the Def Jam stuff, but it's great to see that AKI is making another wrestling game.

Also, the game seems to be heavily focussed on the single player mode which means there won't be any gimmick matches or a create-a-wrestler mode
