PSX Extreme writes: "The WWE franchise has been in good hands with THQ over the past nine years, now. Unlike Acclaim, who quickly let their WWF games go to the crapper, THQ's consistency and quality with the SmackDown franchise has been surprisingly good (with the exception of last year's broken WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2008). Now, THQ looks to be borrowing a page from the, now defunct, book of Acclaim, by releasing a Legends game. Except, unlike Acclaim's Legend of Wrestling, this WWE branded game is actually brimming with potential.
For starters, you have a game backed by a proper license, allowing THQ to utilize every bit of WWE's assets with ease. In total, 40 of the WWE's greatest superstars and managers have been virtually cast for this Legends game, including Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Yokozuna, The Undertaker, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Jerry Lawler, Ted Dibiase, Mr. Perfect, and many more."
This weekend is WrestleMania XXX,and with the celebration underway Nerds on the Rocks decides to checkout the Top 7 wrestling game bearing the event's name. From the NES to the PlayStation 2, the brand has extended through generations of gaming consoles.
THQ Tank has confirmed on his twitter account that THQ has no plans right now to release a sequel to Legends of WrestleMania.
The biggest event in the professional wrestling calendar is almost upon us, so with Wrestlemania XVII so close, what better time to look back at five of the best recreations of sports entertainment gaming has to offer?
Surprised to see that none of the N64 gems made that list. NWO vs WCW Revenge was a beast.
Pro Wrestling (NES) Wrestlemania Challenge (NES) NWO vs WCW (N64) Wrestlemania 2000 (N64) Royal Rumble (Sega Genesis) Raw (Sega Genesis)
The bestest. The end.
Best actual wrestling NWA in the 80s.
