Rep Power: 8  | TNA Wrestling video game Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood TNA Wrestling finally gets a videogame deal. by Jon Robinson October 25, 2005 - For the last couple of years, rumors have run rampant about a TNA videogame. First, EA looked to grab the license, but ultimately no agreement was reached. Next up was Rockstar, but TNA balked at the game ideas (you can't hit a wrestler with hot coffee!). Finally, sources now say that Midway has stepped up and signed TNA to an exclusive videogame deal, and it's no surprise as Viacom's Sumner Redstone has ties to both Spike (TNA's new home on TV) and the videogame publisher. Word is that the game is in development for the PS2 and Xbox, and some wrestlers have already been brought in for initial motion-capture work. It will be interesting what the creative minds at Midway have in store for TNA's innovative six-sided ring and matches like Ultimate X (wrestlers pulling moves off wires 15-feet above the ring) and Monster's Ball (thumbtacks, tables, and chairs…oh my!). This isn't the first time Midway has stepped inside the squared-circle, but it has definitely been a while. Fans of wrestling games will remember that it was Midway who produced the extremely popular WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game. The game featured stars like Doink the Clown busting outrageous combos with his Circus Hammer, and The Undertaker would even smack you upside the head with a tombstone if you weren't careful. Wrestlemania was designed by members of the old NBA Jam team, and some of those designers, including Mark Turmell, still work for the Chicago publisher. No word yet on when you might see stars like Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, Raven, AJ Styles and Samoa Joe turn polygonal, but IGN Sports will keep you up to date as soon as more information is revealed about this title.

Rep Power: 5 | Should be interesting to see. I'm not a huge fan of Midway but they can do some cool stuff, espically when it comes to gore. If I was TNA I would've went with Rockstar though. They have a much bigger fan base then Midway and their game releases alway command attention. Game sales will prove the biggest challange as TNA wont have the recogniton to compete with the WWE games on name level. They better pray that gameplay shits all over that of the WWE games. Which should be no problem against Wrestlemania 21 on Xbox. That game was terrible  | |

Rep Power: 6 | Sounds interesting, Wrestlemania was one of my favorite wrestling games from the 16-bit series. If they could use the gameplay and control from that game with the systems today and leave AJ Styles out of the game. It could turn out to be a hit. |
