Remember way back during the days of the N64 when wrestling games were pretty much the most fun thing to play? You would talk so much trash to your friends, about how you could totally own them with Eric Bischoff and his, like, 5 different moves? Tossing your opponent outside the ring, only to rain down on them with chair strikes over and over and over ...
Well, those were the days and, based on the embedded video past the post break, they could very well be returning. The video gives us a gameplay demonstration on how the Wiimote and nunchuk will work together and allow you to destroy your opponents in the ring.

I still have trouble believing the greatest wrestling games ever made were on a console from two generations back. Every game since WWF: No Mercy (the last of the AKI games) has been a disappointment.

Oh how I loved the button-mashing days of WCW vs. nWo Revenge. Those were wrestling games b/c of their simplicity. Oh I hope that will come back.

I hope wii online will be enabled. Im also hoping for 6 player multiplayer, and they hopefully change the royal rumble setting to be somewhat like the no mercy royal rumble so you can throw people out right away instead of the struggle meter they have used in past smackdown games.

The last Aki game? I dunno, I've been enjoying Ultimate Muscle as well as The Def Jam series... Vandetta and Fight For New York...
But Yukke's Wrestling games are okay.. Day Of Reckoning 2 was interesting, though it needed a budget... and s'more disc space.

If I'm not mistaken, the Def Jam series (at least up till Icon) were made by some of the people who worked on the AKI series of wrestling games. The Def Jam series was OK, but I don't think it measured up to the wrestling games.
