What is the best pro wrestling game of all time?.....shut up everyone......its WWF No Mercy(Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 in the east). Now a lot of younger readers may wonder how a game without PSN/Live intergration, and DLC season passes was the best wrestling game ever, well it is. A mix of controller simplicity, tons of moves from all different styles, a great reversal and finisher system, character creation, barbed wire bats, and a lot of local madness for those of us that have real life(not LIVE) friends.
So some guys about 10 years ago decided to work on a game engine just for wrestling, inspired by No Mercy. Sadly their character models and whatnot resemble 10 year old models as they wanted to work on the foundation of the game before they went further. Flash foward to 2012 these guys have a full engine for a wrestling game with crappy graphics. They need money to add graphics, game modes, online, character trading, new moves(like Rybacks botch finisher into BIG clothsline) and other stuff to make this the spiritual successor of No Mercy. So if you are tired of the yearly rehash of WWE THQ games come and donate to their kickstarter and make this happen. They also have a webpage here. Its the best $15 you will ever spend on wrestling games this year(unless you want a bunch of WWE 13 DLC).
*This is not my kickstarter I just want this project to succede I need an alternative.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
