Any idea why this isn't coming to Xbox?

Any thoughts? Or just more EA hating on MS.

I can't wait to get this game. I'm excited about the damage meter for the limbs. This will be the first wrestling game in the U.S. to feature it, and I'm hoping it's pulled off well. I could do without the ganstafied names for the moves, but it fits the nature of the license, so it's no big-deal. Also, the move names will be displayed in the game, like they were in Toukon Retsuden 2 and SmackDown.

EA blows.

Hey now, they DID give Aki a chance to further refine their game engine. Now if only it were used for the TNA license. The X division would be perfect for it.

Maybe. I think it would be interesting but the gameplay is a little slow for an X-division match, MAYBE. I remember doing lucha libre stuff in VPW 1 so it could work...

Yes, EA blows...other game companies out of the water.

Sorry. That sucked.

Anyway, X-Box has enough good games. Consider this EA's Comminuty Service to game cube users.

No matter. Aki's involvement has me and my PS2 wanting this game more than anything out there right now. Def Jam Vendetta shall be mine.

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...

So anyway I'll be over before Wesley Willis to school your ass in this.

I have it, it's fun. Hooray for N64 Engine.

Based on the interview that I, for all intents and purposes, did with Aki via e-mail, this game is shaping up to be quite awesome. Can't wait to get it this week.

I got it today. Ludacris is one cheap bitch. I do my special move, which is basically a finisher and it won't let me pin him and it won't KO him. His special bar goes up like 3 times as fast as mine and once he hits it I'm ko'ed instantly.
