The article teases home consoles. I would hope for a retro-styled downloadable, but it's been confirmed to at least be coming out for iOS

YES! They would be huge idiots if they don't release this on consoles

that looks amazing.

The purist in me was hoping for 1991 level sprites, but this still looks retro enough for me to want it.

That is if it were available on a platform I cared about.

Sweet.

I'm certain you could just emulate the thing and use fan made texture packs or something.

Does such a thing exist for this game? I have a MAME Rom, but the most I could get was the ability to play as LOD... still can't get to do the Doomesday Device

As someone who played the original Wrestlefest quite a bit at the arcade, I must say I'm not really liking the looks of this new one.

It's not very good, to be honest. I used to tear shit up as Hogan\Warrior in tag teams. LEGDROP SPLASH COMBO. If only the press slam left the opponent in position for a legdrop I'd have been completely unstoppable. But this isn't as good. at all.

Actually it could if you did it late enough. I did plenty of Gorilla press/legdrop/splash combos.

Though my finishing combo preference was the DDT/Bossman Splash

Nah, some moves leave you at certain angles regardless of health, and the press slam left you completely horizontal all the time, you were never left at the correct angle for a splash or anything after it. Stupid design.

I assure you that's not the case. If you did it to a weakened enough opponent, the Gorilla Press would drop him in a spot for the legrop or splash.

There will never be another wrestling game with the enjoyment levels of WCW vs nWo Revenge.
