That is awesome news. Has their been a graphics comparison between the Switch versions and PS4/XBone of other sports games to see if there will be a difference? That's the only thing that scares me since FIFA has already said it will have to be on a different engine and less features (which that part isn't an end all since I only need their version of the franchise mode) Sounds like I might have to be doubling up on sports games. Will be awesome to have a handheld Universe mode though.

This is great! Was getting this for PS4, now I'm definitely getting it for the Switch!

Hard to use FIFA as the standard here. Best to probably look at NBA 2K but I don't know if the trailer for NBA on switch was actual gameplay or them just showing what it will be like to play on the go

Curious to know if they'll support the split joycon functionality for local multiplayer, and if so how they reduce the game's command set to support that. Releasing on the Switch without doing that is kinda missing the point, IMO.

So it's coming to the Switch before it does to the PC?

While I agree with you that needs to be figured out and included, I think the solo play mobility function maybe a selling point for many. Maybe I am in the minority there. But that is what is selling me.

Two questions:

1. Would it have the complete roster like ps4 meaning almost all the wrestlers will be there for us to use in switch?

2. Would it have a mode like you pick yourself as a superstar and try to build a career? (Sorry the last wwe game i played was smackdown in ps2 era lol)
