Because I remember the first being more of a barely-functional spectacle than a video game. It plays better than the 2K games. It’s janky but always entertaining, and some of the bumps are frankly awesome like monkey flipping a dude out of the ring onto the steel steps or through an announce table.

Also you don't have like two thousand slots for moves so customization is quicker, and you can even chain moves together (going from a snapmare into a seated sleeper hold for example)

"MDickie game on the Switch with good framerate" is an instant-buy for me, even though it'll be better on the PC with modability.

It's very fun to play, and to me it's on the level of the N64 games I played as a kid made by syn Sophia/AKI. The UI is clunky and could use a lot of work, but being a completely one man show I can forgive it for that because of how fun the wrestling is to play and watch. A future PC version would obviously be better for the ability to smooth out the rough edges with modding, but I picked it up on Switch so that eventually when I can go to my friends places again I can just bring my Switch with me and we can relive the good ol' days of renting WCW vs NWO.

Wrestling Empire on Switch is janky and sometimes frustrating and a whole lot of goddam fun. I'm into the second year of career mode and Jake Obscene (Justin Credible) is my tag team partner. He has problems and keeps coming to me asking for money, and my guy got a whole shitload of money in his last contract so I keep giving it to him. I hope he's using it for drugs and we get an overdose storyline.

I remember new legacy was doing a stream and wrestler “Needles“ died of a drug overdose. They did not act very surprised

If anyone else is like me and wants to rename all the wrestlers to their actual names, you can plug in a USB keyboard to the Switch dock and it works perfectly to type in the names.

The problem with these games is they don’t play like a wrestling match - they play like two guys getting tired and falling over a bunch after 2 mins. The reversal stuff and the way moves sometimes randomly link is great, the depth of the campaign is awesome, but the matches just slow down the longer they go on and then someone screams and taps to a hammerlock.

If you just rapidly kick the poo poo out of your opponent they cannot get up and you will be able to the. subdue them with a powerbomb or piledriver

One thing the tutorial does not actually get into- how do you fight out of pins and submissions? I'm just hitting every button and it seemed to work but I'm wondering if there's something more to it.

I hadn't even thought of renaming them all, but hot drat that's a great idea I also think I've landed on just streaming Wrestling Empire as like a post-Dynamite thing on Wednesdays, in case anyone is interested in following the continuing adventures of Thrash Huxley Jr. and his dumbass tag team partner that went and injured himself by doing a 450 off the apron onto literally nobody.

You can hold the B button to retire and either restore the default roster or start with the current state of things. If you modified anyone, they’d be defaulted as well though. Had to remake my custom wrestler after it turned them back into Newbie Nate.

The Lance Archer lookalike (I think) managed to trip onto the announce table and break it during his entrance. Later he threw a dynamite stick at them.

I liked the description I heard of it being like playing with wrestling action figures, where you laboriously position everything while doing the sweet moves you saw on the teevee. The way you describe it as two exhausted dudes trying to fight made me think of the fight scene from They Live and now I imagine every match is playing out like that. Y'know what, that would be a perfect game type for that engine. Put on the glasses!

Usually just on weeks off or if I have a full bar and the opponent I'm facing that week doesn't so I burn up enough to be at around the same health. You can check your opponent's stats by holding the X button on the menu screen, the stats on the top right corner of the screen will switch from yours to theirs. Also, there's always steroids.

The training is worse now, I think. One stat will go up, and two or three will go down. I can’t recall if it acted the same in the older games, but it’s a real pain to maintain a positive training session without exhausting yourself.

It didn't act that way in older games, you'dalways gain in stats without sacrificing others. I can't really see how one makes any sort of progress in stat increases without steroids in the game (social commentary ha)

I usually tap the button on the stat I want boosted, and watch the others. As soon as they go down, you can bump them straight back up without too much loss. Prioritising recovering loss over focusing on gains is probably a super-inefficient method, but it works for me. I’ve got 75 in everything except Agility, which is 80.
