Giant Bomb quick look of an older game in the series:

The king returns to game development.

Can't wait to see if he has any new projects in the pipeline.

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

The gameplay is dogshit but it's so over the top that it's worth checking out.

 

[Dest]

OOOH YEAH
BOGAN IS READY

 

[Lashley]

Very fun game, shame he's abandoned the PC platform

Excited it to play it handheld thoughh

 

[Jamie OD]

The Botchamania of video games.

 

[The Main Event]

I was excited about the development of this game in its early days but oh man was it rough the last time I played it on iOS. Is it really worth giving it another shot at $20?

 

[SoH]

No buy unless I can fight a tree in the ring.

 

[Red_V2]

I highly recommend the super great friend play through of the original on ouya.

 

[Laser Ramon]

Tonight is the night
Bright lights, hype crowd
Yeah, we came to throw down
Everybody get loud

As somebody has never heard of this game, exactly wtf am I looking at here

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

As if you needed any further proof Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about quality control anymore...

 

[Foltzie]

Huh?

 

[Kunka Kid]

One of the funniest Quicklooks in recent memory

 

[atomsk]

better than 2K20

Watch the Giant Bomb quick look in the OP, and you'll get an idea of what to expect with this game :)

Isn't he a right-wing shithead? Or am I just mis-remembering something.

The first I'm hearing of it, tbh. I can't actually vouch for the quality of his work, but he's phenomenal at stretching a janky wrestling engine to anything he wants.

 

[RadioJoNES]

I never thought I'd see those faces ever again

Dunno about politics, but he's got a strange relationship with being quasi-religious, if The You Testament is anything to go by

I still put him in a category of unwitting outsider artists in games though, alongside the Dragoon Entertainment guy

 

[Alfredo]

Maybe supergreatfriend can continue the Bully Demise saga. Assuming the game is any different than previous MDickie wrestling games.

 

[Rivenblade]

What the heck is this

The kind of game wrestling truly deserves.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I've been playing this man's games on and off for years. I'm down.

 

[stumblebee]

These games own. Where else can you suplex a dude through two tables on the outside of the ring from a ladder inside of the Ring all while doing it with one arm because you lost the first one in an explosion that happens during the match

And all this takes place at a charity fundraiser wrestling event for a wrestler who died or whatever

 

[vrcsix]

How the hell did I miss these games? This is gold.

 

[NDA-Man]

I... huh. Okay, I played the original game on my phone years back, and... it was better than I expected(?). Its a junky mess of a thing, but the game was playable, which seems to exceed expectations for a wrestling game.

It's an awkward, poorly explained mess of a title, but there was a ton of evident work put in, even if the overall quality of the fighting system and game was... questionable. Like, where else will I accidentally kill knockoff Hulk Hogan after slamming him into a Clipart Christmas tree too many times? (True Story, i was aghast the first time I killed or ended the career of a wrestler).

Will there be an Xbox version? If so, I'll wait for gamepass.

Exactly... the way scenarios and props and backstage events pile on top of one another is insane.

 

[Deleted member 84058]

The "move-melding" system is legit fantastic and will make for some ridiculous moments

 

[sibarraz]

I love how the announce trailer is a tribute to how janky and low quality are pro wrestling games and how thats part of their charm

That rules. There's something about these games for sure.

 

[msboo001]

Game of the Year of 2021 has been announced, Day One for me!

 

[Foffy]

So like, is this just a really janky sorta Fire Pro game where you can just do whatever? Everything looks so slow but...Reign Maker?

 

[Brinbe]

LOL i've long loved me some mdickie games. the gm game is stupid fun times. just get a sword and hack off some limbs and get that blood spurtin everywhere haha

i hope they port the jesus game and the prison one too.

[Kingpin Rogers]

I think they might be slightly out of Nintendo's interest, just a hunch.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

That has to be Switch Pro footage.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I beg everyone to watch the NewLEGACYinc videos of MDickie's games. Only then will you understand the full appeal and potential of these crazy ass creations.

Agreed

 

[KujoJosuke]

MDickie games are so weirdly ambitious but they are not well made so they can not even match that ambition. But they actually end up being really interesting.

nL Slip about to go portable.

goty 2021

 

[Pancakes R Us]

What the heck is this...those screenshots cracked me up. I think I'm gonna buy this if it's a decent price!

I thought I posted this message yesterday but can't see it. Anyway I want this game!!

 

[Rika]

It's gonna be $20, so not bad. It's well worth $20.

lol played his games on ouya years ago. They are not the most polished but their is a certain charm to em. Honestly a blast to play.

 

[japtor]

For a taste of the insanity here's a Royal Rumble match I was watching in the background the other day (starts around 13 minutes in):



Spoiler: Kirk Angel lasts a surprisingly long time despite losing both arms and a leg. And be sure to stick around after the match for more action in the back!

 

[Hasney]

Since the nL videos are being posted for MDickie, time for best of nL Slip
