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 😊

[@MeisAutistic]

​@@crazycross5501 Bro no the game is already perfect

[@sportsfanofwrestling356]

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

[@suoquainen]

@@MeisAutistic So you like limitations?

Good stuff!

[@THEONLYGORE]

i was like.... um dude leg glitched...... then i realized ..... thats zack gowan

[@MainEventMinute]

@@THEONLYGORE Took me a second at first too. I was like, “bold of them to include that in the trailer” lol

[@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

[@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

[@ryusteel4556]

I'm stoked for ultra pro and wrestling code keep up the good work dude.

[@MainEventMinute]

Me too! And thanks, much appreciated!

[@kaidokaal7622]

Wow thanks for the heads up. 🎉

[@MainEventMinute]

@@kaidokaal7622 thank YOU for watching!

[@unrealog]

Ultra Pro Wrestling graphics give me the vibes of an old Impact Wrestling game for Android and iOS from 2011

[@MainEventMinute]

@@unrealog whoa totally forgot about that one till now lol

[@YellowPlagueProductions]

All these really coming out in 2024? We're halfway through the year already.

[@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

[@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?

[@SnipingIsFun]

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

[@piturripi]

The last one looks good, imagine if they add steam workshop/mods support

[@lelandnorton9288]

Imagine even after everything The Wrestling Code doesn't release

[@MainEventMinute]

@@lelandnorton9288 it sadly could be possible :( but let’s hope not!

[@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!

[@WrestlingDev]

I'm working on one too but it won't be ready until 2025 most likely. I'm really amped for UPW & TWC

[@MainEventMinute]

Oh wow that’s awesome! I can’t wait to check it out, I’ll be following along!

[@WrestlingDev]

@@MainEventMinute thanks, haven't posted any video footage yet. Mainly been working on setting the system and gameloop up. Seeing UPW being developed was my motivation! They're gonna have a great game!

[@nexusjwf9859]

Hey dude, if you need any one to help with logos / character ideas etc, id LOVE to help out, i d love to be involved in something like this but i dont have any programming skills. but im a 30+year wrestling and wrestling games fan, i design logos and character's. id love to help if i can

[@masonsousa5241]

I am most excited for UPW . TWC for sure

[@MainEventMinute]

Me too. Let’s link up for some tag matches when they finally release! 💪

[@ferriswheeler08]

We want a new MDickie wrestling game :D :D :D

[@japangamejunk]

I still hope a developer puts me in a wrestling game before I retire 😄

[@djcactus]

Lucha libre game looking a lot like wwe all stars

[@MainEventMinute]

@@djcactus I got that same vibe actually!

[@unspokenconscience1869]

Game plays like WWF Attitude and ECW games

[@ricky865]

Which one will have the 5 powerbomb DVD combo because that one is gonna be the best.

[@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!

[@EvaluateAssimilate]

@@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 🤘

[@z0m813]

The Demo for UPW is coming Q4 2024

[@MainEventMinute]

You’re right, thanks for pointing that out!

[@EasyE3939]

Sweet!

[@MainEventMinute]

@@EasyE3939 some would say, TOO sweet :)

[@EasyE3939]

@@MainEventMinute Hey yo!

[@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.

[@tscharnag]

Is the lucha game also playable on mobile?

[@wrestlingalldaypodcast123]

I still have high hopes for The Wrestling Code even if we can't play it until we're all old heads 🤣🤣🤣. A few of my friends are in the game and I'm stoked to play as them.... Eventually. UPW looks like it could be something really special. That trailer they released looked awesome!

[@MainEventMinute]

@@wrestlingalldaypodcast123 hey, we waited over a decade for GTA VI, surely the Wrestling Code won’t take that long….right? Lol UPW is exciting too for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@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

[@archivefolds]

@@MainEventMinute at this point I wouldn’t be surprised💀

[@MajorChipHazard316]

It’s basically the Cyberpunk 2077 of the wrestling genre at this point.

[@archivefolds]

@@MajorChipHazard316 I wouldn’t go that far, not yet at least. This seems like one of those games that just builds on the hype just to toss away in the end. Like there’s no reason at all for us to still be waiting to see valid gameplay

[@archivefolds]

@@MajorChipHazard316 “The Day Before” is more like it💀

[@suoquainen]

Except for The Wrestling Code i don't see any serious attempt / approach in this genre actually.

[@aniketsambare2097]

Can we play any of these games on android?

[@CommentSectionCancer]

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

[@vikkichauhan457]

can you suggest us mobile wrestling games for ios and android ?

[@MainEventMinute]

@@vikkichauhan457 I will be uploading a video for mobile wrestling games very soon!

[@gamesdog9067]

They should make a game where you play as a retired wrestler bitching about other retired wrestlers on lots of different podcasts.

[@MainEventMinute]

@@gamesdog9067 yes please, I will back the kickstarter and preorder the deluxe edition

[@andresgarciadelgado1810]

I'm big lucha libre fan not pro wrestling. lucha im will wait for it

@@andresgarciadelgado1810 Lucha is my favorite too!

[@andresgarciadelgado1810]

@@MainEventMinute but if you want lucha libre there only 3 well 1 actually aaa lucha libre heroes del ring. The other 2 more of an adventure game then wrestling but it the game called guacamelee it even has sequel

[@MainEventMinute]

@@andresgarciadelgado1810 I LOVE Guacamelee! I played through it on my PS Vita. Still need to play the second one!

[@xboxnintendoforce8276]

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 📹...👍🏾

[@MainEventMinute]

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. I like AEW Fighr Forever’s gameplay, I like WWE 2K’s creation suite, I like the silliness of Wrestling Empire. If you don’t like one game, just move on to the next. Thanks for watching and for the comment! Appreciate it my friend!

[@bigcorgi]

WWE fans in generall are pretty damn entitled lol

[@EmmanuelIsaacs]

Are they available on Android

[@MainEventMinute]

@@EmmanuelIsaacs not immediately, but potentially down the road

[@Sleepymugs]

Yeah ok Matdickie still wins in terms of wrestling

[@GREAT-DYNASTY]

If It's not licensed, by wwe then don't complain when the graphics and movesets create a wrestler. Isn't gonna look great.

[@richisdisturbed]

WWE has literally nothing to do with this. Now if you had said TV style presentation, or officially named wrestlers/ arenas/ etc, then you may have been on to something.

[@mercychitsulo7992]

Mobile Games Then vs. Now Be Like:

[@user-uh4jb7ze1c]

MDickie is the goat

[@richisdisturbed]

All of these look trash, in my opinion. Between Wrestling Empire, and 2K24 - none of these have a real place in the ring, so to speak. Fight Gorever could've been decent, if it wasn't being published by a bunch of idiots that have no idea what they're doing. The core gameplay was great, the game just lacked content hard. I'm hoping we eventually see a sequel with all the complaints addressed and a single season pass, not 4 over a year.

[@Gotchism4Life]

I already have Fire Pro Wrestling Returns on PS2, Fire Pro Wrestling World on PS4 and physical copies of both Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 and WWF No Mercy...these games cannot hold up to those.

[@MainEventMinute]

@@Gotchism4Life I doubt they will live up to those games, but they don’t necessarily have to for me to enjoy them personally. As long as they’re fun and feel different from what we have now, I’ll be happy.

[@Gotchism4Life]

@@MainEventMinute They should be more fun than the WWE 2k series 🙂

[@jayduffy5532]
