Wrestle With WWE All Stars on 3DS in November

THQ's WWE All Stars on Wii was a decent attempt at an arcade take on sports entertainment, but despite the game launching on practically every format — even PS2 got a look-in — there was no portable port for Nintendo formats. That'll change later this year though, as THQ has announced WWE All Stars for 3DS.

While you might expect a cut-down version for the handheld, judging from the game's official fact sheet it contains all the characters from its HD cousins, with 43 characters in total: in fact, the PS3 and 360 versions ship with 32 characters on the disc with a further 12 available to download, which means the 3DS version gets downloadable content for free.

It'll also get a pair of exclusive modes too: survival challenge Gauntlet, where your health is regenerated by performing flashy moves, and Score Scramble, where the superstar with the highest score wins.

The game also includes a Create-a-Superstar mode but makes no mention of multiplayer components, so don't get your hopes up for online multiplayer just yet.

WWE All Stars on 3DS sees release in late November.
