That would be cool with modern day wrestlers. I still play this game from time to time.

Idk if it would work on the Xbox. I got it on the iPad and it's like I remember, the one thing i kept thinking though was that it wouldn't work on consoles well. but im interested to see where they go with DLC.

Re: THQ Launches WWE Wrestlefest on iPad and iPhone

gameplay, love it, nice fun change of pace and brings back so many memories of playing this in the arcade. downfall, IMO the roster stinks. i was hoping for more, wanted the old school roster, mixed with the new guys of today. sad

I wonder when exactly the PSN and Xbox live versions will be released. Just saying during the calender year of 2012 makes me think it's going to be a while.
