AEW: Fight Forever Confirmed For Switch After Retail Listing Leaks

I’m so out the loop with all that’s happening in the world of wrestling. I haven’t properly watched it in about 15 years. But I do enjoy playing the games, even if I have little idea of who the wrestlers are. I’m hoping this turns out well especially as it’s from Yuke

AEW could have been No1 If their owner wasnt a clueless Clown.

Well I should hope so, after the N64 had arguably the best wrestling game ever and legitimatized wrestling games as a whole.
The PS Smackdown series of course did wonders, but without the N64 games we wouldn’t have those.
I would have liked them to do a N64 style on Switch but with updated graphics

I won’t hold my breath as it could be a mistake, but I do hope it makes the switch. Or maybe wwe or aew could make a unique switch game… ALSO PORT FIREPRO!!

This is awesome. Really hope it comes out for Switch!

If this truly is the new No Mercy, then yes bloody please!
Though I'm too scared it could be a broken port. Switch is cursed when it comes to wrestling games.

Day one if true. Roster looks decent. Plenty of legends to choose from that we don’t know about too.

Jericho, Owen Hart and Sting is not a bad start though!

Looking forward to Corny's roster review!

@FragRed All I know is that WWE on TV has cut out cursing and cleavage because to they lowered the rating to PG. They wanted to attract more kids? I don't know what was that thinking.

@thinkhector Wasn’t that what WCW did in the 90s? The very thing that kinda set WWE apart?

@Knightrider1 Logged on to make virtually the same comment. Haven't had a pulse toward wrestling games in years, but with Yukes as the developer, we at least have a shot at a decent one.

If it's in the vein of a modernized No Mercy or even Wrestlemania X8/Day of Reckoning, then you definitely have my attention.

Wake me up when the crew responsible for the wonderful N64 WCW games develops a modern wrestling game for the Switch.

@thinkhector Other than that short 5 years when they enter the Attitude era, WWE had always been PG before (when they still WWF) and after (when they become WWE). Also not sure what people had an issue with on the rating thing, WCW themselves were also rated PG. Only ECW is rated TV-14.

@dkxcalibur You may be in luck. The director of those games is actually working on this one.

@relinqued They really couldn't. You can't knock WWE off the top spot in a couple of years, it's an absolute behemoth, with 40 years of brand awareness globally and at its peak in terms of revenue.

If this has the same gameplay as WCW/nWo Revenge, I'm sold.

@Edu23XWiiU It’s using the modern Yuke’s engine. In the brief gameplay snippets they’ve shown, it looks like a lower budget WWE 2K18/19.

@thinkhector From a business perspective, the PG shift was a master stroke if you’re being objective about the situation. They have far more sponsors and merchandise sales as a result.

Do think this game's going to have a pretty hard time really being worth getting. Know it's not really fair to compare them when 2K22 has 23 years worth of a starting base but it's never going to come close to matching its wealth of content, and that's not even getting into all the chatter about how messy the production of this game's been and how the people involved in making it basically hate each other at this point.

Would get it purely to play as Sting and best up Chris Jericho

I'm hoping this will be a good game, I really want to like it, once it's released. I have an AEW universe mode set up in WWE 2K19, that I still do a couple shows on, every other week or so.

@Joriss I'd highly recommend retromania and wrestling empire, both great wrestling games that run fine on switch

Looks like it was just confirmed for Switch along with THQ publishing

This one’s definitely on my short list. Can’t wait for the Switch version.

I’m a sucker for wrestling games on Switch. Hopefully this will be better than that awful WWE 2k18 port.

It's Official, Not only am I Purchasing 'AEW: Fight Forever' for my Nintendo Switch, but I'll also purchase it for my Xbox Series S!

Take notes wwe and madden, I only Support companies who support Nintendo Switch!

@Big_Fudge wwe has been DEAD for 15 years now.

@NintendoEternity I mean just cos you personally don't like it doesn't mean it's dead. WWE is way bigger than it was 15 years ago

@Big_Fudge I just can't get into it like I used to. It's definitely not the same.

@NintendoEternity Oh yea, I'm the same, I find it incredibly boring 90% of the time now, the target audience has been mainly aimed at kids, families and women though, but that's still a massive demographic

@Jprhino84 Aaagh, then I'll pass.
