WWE 2K19 will skip Nintendo Switch
- Thread starter SnatcherHunter
- Start date
Wrestling games are simply not that relevant anymore. So the Switch really isn't missing much with this game.
WWE All Stars 2
Or an in-house reboot opportunity;
As I mentioned earlier, Nintendo is close with Syn Sophia (formerly AKI) as they made the Style Savvy games that were published by Nintendo.

The programmer of that game actually went on to Human to create the Fire Pro series.
I would be happy with a port of Fire Pro Wrestling World.
I would also accept a port of WWE All-Stars. That game was a fun spiritual successor to Wrestlemania The Arcade Game, and we know that the Switch could handle a PS3/360 port without much trouble.

This is the real takeaway here. While granted WWE games tend to be better than WWE 2K18, the sales of the franchise don't really depend on quality. The fact that Take Two doesn't even think they can turn a quick buck on a port is not encouraging.
I want them to release a not broken WWE game. Do not tell me that I am the one who's wrong for expecting game developers to be competent at their jobs. That's their fault, not mine.
If you're asking if they could re release old WWE games, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure they just got the licence, engine/software stuff used to make the games, and they hired some of the old THQ WWE staff, let me see if I can find a source
EDIT:

They got the license and all the stuff required to continue making the games, not any of the backcatalog. Any rereleases of old games would require THQ Nordic, 2K, and WWE to come to an agreement
Hiring a great company to do the port only ensures more work on the port to actually make the game competent. The game is a broken mess no matter where you play it. As others stated in this thread 2k18 was the worst of all the 2K games and 2K19 won't be different.
As much as I would love a wrestling game on the switch until we have a good developer to hand WWE games, it won't happen (at least for any WWE game)
Other companies out there working on other wrestling games have a chance to do what 2K won't (and can't) and actually release a Great wrestling game on the switch. Time will tell tho.
What they should be doing is a arcade wrestling game purposely made for the switch and not all this simulation shit. Hopefully Fire Pro Wrestling gets ported to show em how its done.
I don't think Smash is all for the rest of year, but there's nothing wrong with being picky--just sorry there's nothing interesting for you the rest of this year on Switch.
Unfathomable that these terrible, terrible games continue to sell. Switch is missing out on nothing at all.
If this hasn't happened by now it's never going to happen
There will never be another great 3D wrestling game
Realistically this would probably require them to take at least a year off to retool internally, and I doubt the WWE would let them do that. Hell I'm surprised the WWE is cool with no Switch SKU.
Do shit port job and expect the game to sell.
Maybe do what Bethesda does and out some actual effort into these ports.

More money for people to spend on other more deserving games.
2k18 was a low effort port and it sold like one. A good slap on their faces. They probably thought they'd get away with it. Wii days are over.

People who buy a bad game will probably buy one good game less. So every bad game that misses a platform (no matter Switch, PS4, PC, XOne) is a win for us all, at least when its such an obvious bad game like WWE2KXX on all platforms.
There are plenty of other Switch games for the rest of the year.
Why does this sound like "Nintendo fans should be grateful for whatever they get, even if it's unplayable dreck that no one else would put up with"?
Well this is interesting news. I really want more from this game. I thought it was decent when you could play through the different eras of a certain career. The Stone Cold year comes to mind with all the footage peppered throughout. The gameplay still wasn't that great then either.
Oh well. Aside from the custom character creator, this gen seems like a disaster for this game.

I'd like to see a Mortal Kombat 9 quality reboot of WWF The Arcade Game.
Using an older engine, which I don't think 2k are able to do in this case.
I would like to think the Switch will end up getting a version of Fire Pro World at some point, it would sell like hotcakes.
I loved WWE All-Stars on PS360 even if barebones... a sequel would have been good but alas THQ/THQ San Diego didn't last
Netherrealm did WWE Immortals for phones, which was good at the time. Limited, but fun, and had the OTT Mortal Kombat stuff. They are halfway there already with that idea. I would take a consolized reboot of that too.
It still looks great as well....
Between this and WWE All Stars, they are so many good ideas not getting done.
Well, there were reports of WWE being very very unhappy with 2K over the 2K18 Switch debacle, which may mean they put SOME effort into this years game. Although doubtful. At this point I'm just waiting for Fire Pro to come out next month and make the WWE roster on that and that'll be my fix for the year. I so badly want 2K to do a good job with this series, it just feels mistreated, and aside from All Stars, all the good games were left back in the mid 00s. It's not even like the presentation is bad or the content isn't there, because it is, but the game is just boring and no fun. Literally anything is better than what we've had post SVR2006.
All this All Stars talk ;_;. What I wouldn't give for a proper sequel to that game. One of my favorite games on the 360. Played the hell out of it and it was a the perfect party game. Granted it helped I was pretty good and wrekt everyone I played even when they went 3v1. Using Edge or Orton was broken with their finisher lol.
I sure hope fire pro comes to switch. Would be a perfect fit. Maybe there waiting to lunch the Ps4 version of the game first..?
makes you wonder why they didnt tried again, doesnt?
no, it does not...

The N64 ones were my favorite. The PlayStation ones never felt right to me.
