All of them paying homage to MDickie I guess 😅

[@MainEventMinute]

He’s the Godfather of these Indie wrestling games for a reason! Lol

[@crazycross5501]

He's goated he just needs to add more moves and move variations and his games would be untouchable 😊

[@sportsfanofwrestling356]

if mdickie had a ragdoll system that shit would funny asf😂

[@suoquainen]

@@Gamera_X2008 So you like limitations?

[@richisdisturbed]

Nothing is perfect, especially Wrestling Empire. It needs better menus, a multilayer career, more moves, etc. Wrestling Empire is fun as fuck but in reality it's a 7/10 at best if you look past the jank

[@neilbiggs1353]

I don't know if it's possible, but I'd love to see a wrestling game where the idea was not to win the match, but to work with the opponent to get the right result with the most exciting match possible. You'd need to have controls to sell moves for example and a way to switch between the heel heat and the comeback, or selling for a hot tag... Everything wrestling game is just a beat-em-up in wrestling clothes, I'd love to see something try to deal with what pro-wrestling really is

[@MainEventMinute]

@@neilbiggs1353 yes! That’d be spectacular! Fire Pro Wrestling World is the only game I’ve played that comes close to caring about the match. In the career mode, you’re instructed on how to take bumps to build the match’s rating. It’s a pretty good game, I recommend it if you haven’t tried it yet. 2D graphics though if that turns you off

[@darkliightXxX]

wrestling code file size is going to be like 200gb just from the motion captures of each individual person lol

[@MainEventMinute]

Lol you ain’t kidding!

[@GautamBudha-wj9el]

Bro frfr😂😂

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

Ultra Pro Wrestling is literally the best game out of this bunch and was what AEW Fight Forever was supposed to be. The game looks incredible as if it was made by the guys who made No Mercy back in the day. Im buying this day one! I hope The Wrestling Code is great because that has a lot of potential

[@MainEventMinute]

@@2Good2BeTrue45 I am also most excited for UPW. I do actually like AEW FF, but it was severely lacking in features, especially at release. UPW looks to be paced a tick slower that FF, but otherwise I can see them playing similarly-which is a good thing! No Mercy is my favorite game to this day, I can’t wait! The Wrestling Code hopefully drops more news soon.

[@NocturnalXS]

The animations are ripped from AKI's games, which is probably why everyone gets that feeling. Cool product though

[@paxhumana2015]

@@MainEventMinute , well, to be fair, WCW Vs. The World was kind of lacking in features as well, and that was a Sony PS1 game, yet it was also the best wrestling game on that system besides Fire Pro Wrestling G, so it is unfair to criticize AEW: Fight Forever for that reason. Also, they could easily make updates to add new wrestlers, weapons, modes, theme songs, entrances, and such as well. I mean, if Castle Crashers, of all things, is getting an update literally 16 years after it was made, then I can hope for similar updates for AEW: Fight Forever as well.

[@WeeGimbles]

@@NocturnalXSNothing is “ripped” - each and every animation was painstakingly redrawn by hand over thousands of hours to accurately match those classic titles. It was a slow but satisfying process! 🎉

[@luccirobbins6675]

Excited for The Wrestling Code, but the lack of updates other than roster additions has me worried. It’s a smaller company and they signing a LOT of wrestlers. Worried they’ll either run out of money and have to shut down or all the money will go to the roster and nothing else.

[@MainEventMinute]

That's definitely a concern. Gotta just hope for the best I guess. Would be a shame to see it fold.

[@timothyholland2927]

I wonder what happened to the death match game that was loosely based off of CZW that was in development around the time of the wrestling code’s development? Also with Diamond Dallas Page in TWC, I wonder how many variations of the Diamond Cutter were going to get?

[@MainEventMinute]

@@timothyholland2927 I think I remember seeing that game, forgot the name. I’ll have to look into it and get back to you. I always loved DDP’s cutter. I hope we get variations like a reverse cutter, or a super cutter off the top rope!

[@hohiboo]

ahh Ultraviolence. they are still working on it, but they dont show much off often but they do post on twitter once in awhile

[@SnipingIsFun]

Ultra Violence?

[@Predreus]

Those Ultra Pro Wrestling animations looked like they were ripped right from the AKI games

[@MainEventMinute]

@@Predreus they sure do, which is exciting if you’re an elder gamer like I am lol

[@dmitrijbiryukoff7738]

Yup even opening video animations are the same. The taunts, the "staredown after collision". ALL has been ripped off from an N64 game called Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. It never came out in USA. The watered down version without half of the moves came out in USA as WWF No Mercy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epPVg2iMn6p2nrc

[@catreaper9286]

​@@dmitrijbiryukoff7738what a dumb statement. WWF No Mercy is always superior than VPW2. Better AI, better storyline mode, better graphic, better weapon system, match type and backstage mode.

[@pogal86]

The footage is from the first video they released. The graphics look completely different now though.

[@GBTwelveSixteen]

​@@catreaper9286😂😂😂😂 No Mercy was trash.

[@MainEventMinute]

Well two are in Early Access mode already, one has been silent since April, and one has given Q4 2024 as the targeted release date and seems to be sticking to that. It’s a crazy time for wrestling games, I love it.

[@PUMPYJOHNSON]

UPW will have a demo out sometime this quarter. It will release in 2025

[@paxhumana2015]

Bastante Bueno Lucha Libre and The Wrestling Code are not on Steam for some reason.

[@MainEventMinute]

@@paxhumana2015 Bastante Bueno Lucha Libre is going through their own site for now while in beta, I have a link in the video description if you’re interested. I’m not sure when Wrestling Code will be listed.

[@sakuwantstofight]

Casual Pro Wrestling looks like a throwback to that localized NJPW game on the PS1, I would be most interested to play this.

[@archivefolds]

The wrestling code is never coming out. All they give updates on is roster reveals

[@MainEventMinute]

@@archivefolds what if it comes out and it’s just a character select screen of the large roster. That’s it, that’s the game lol

[@EvaluateAssimilate]

Im curious to know if ultra pro bought/acquired the animations from no mercy. A few moves in the video were exactly the same as the No Mercy game. It would be a nice nod to the past if they did 🤘 thanks for the video, my very best to you

[@MainEventMinute]

@@EvaluateAssimilate in a FAQ the devs specifically stated that they want Ultra Pro to feature every single move from the AKI games, including No Mercy. It’s exciting to hear about, I just hope it can deliver! Appreciate the kind words, and thank you for watching my friend!

@@MainEventMinute well that's great news, and thank you for providing that info. I hope they deliver as well and keep all digits crossed for their success. Looking like it'll be a blast to play, all things considered. I appreciate the reply, man. Cheers 🤘

And Ultra Violence: Ultra Violent Pro Wrestling will be out one day.

[@RuinTheComments]

AEW FF is also inspired by AKI wrestling games well as HCTP. How did that reception turn out? It doesn’t always translate.

[@MainEventMinute]

HCTP is often cited as the greatest wrestling game ever made, so I don’t see your point there. As for FF, sure, it was a lackluster release lacking features, but I personally quite enjoyed the gameplay.

[@SnipingIsFun]

Gameplay wise AEW FF is great

[@gregorynation9405]

What is the name

[@patchworkpants]

I'm a little bit concerned that every animation in Ultra Pro wrestling looks like it was literally lifted straight out of the N64 WWE games. I hope that's not the case and they're just doing that for now until they can make all their own animations.

[@MainEventMinute]

@@patchworkpants I get your concerns. Hopefully they are adding original animations in addition to the old ones!

[@WeeGimbles]

All the AKI animations + brand new ones will be included. There’s a DLC roster of over 70+ wrestlers - most of which have moves that have never appeared on those classic N64 games 🎉

[@jrovc]

Kinda worried about ultra pro i haven't seen any weapons or backstage area it's more like the first thq game before WCW vs now revenge

[@MainEventMinute]

@@jrovc WCW World Tour? That was a pretty good game for its time, but I agree that Ultra Pro would feel empty if it’s missing features like weapons or backstage.

The problem with wrestling games is that the majority of the consumers are a bunch of ignorant, entitled & disgruntled WWE 2K fan's that think other wrestling games are supposed to copy their format, modes and match types,story mode etc & they simply can't accept a game for what it is and then you have the fanboy KZbin channels that do nothing but Bash any and everything that isn't WWE & literally tell all of the sheep out there to not buy whatever game it is because they think that they have the answers for everyone & everything 😉...Instead of just playing games and having fun people would rather sulk like a bunch of spoiled big mouth brats and talk a bunch of toxic negative, nonsensical garbage 🗑...On another note great videos 📹...👍🏾

You’re not wrong, it can get pretty toxic online. I’m just glad we have so many different wrestling games now, there’s something for everyone.
