AAA Video Game Pushed Back, Pre-Order Masks Gone

[theryno665]

I know we had a thread already for AAA: Heroes of Lucha Libre going but I'm sure it's buried. Anyway, HERE's the story on it.

In short: the game has been pushed back yet again to November for the Wii version only. The 360 and PS3 versions will still come out next week. Also, the masks for whoever pre-ordered it won't come with it. There will be a replacement bonus, though.

As someone who bought the game for the Wii and mostly to get a lucha mask out of the deal, it's a double bummer for me.

Can't wait to get this game in two months for $10. This game's going to bomb.

[Klutch]

Kinda glad i canceled my pre order now.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Hah, I got an Octagon mask from the guy at my Gamestop during the Halo: Reach launch party they had. Didn't even have to pre-order the game. I freakin' love that mask.

This game is going to sell like 10,000 copies nationwide, tops.

This. The one video I watched of it looked like absolute shit. Like I posted on the AAA game FB page, (where they claim the masks were cut due to "health concerns"), no, its because you know this thing will be on clearance in a month after release and you want to start financial damage control NOW.

Doesn't the game not even have six man matches which is huge in Mexico and weird since the psycho circus are on the game and all they do is six man tag.

Also I heard la parka(LA Park) wasn't even on it.

[zeez]

No masks = we riot

[Crusty Ruffles]

From all the gameplay demos i've seen, La Parka is in the game.

I may rent it eventually. More than likely, I'll pick it up on Half.com for $5 like i did Impact.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

La Parka is in.

L.A. Park (Adolfo Tapia, the Parka from WCW) is not, thats my understanding.

[theryno665]

So, did anyone happen to get this for the 360 or PS3?

[frankwest]

I got it for 360. It plays almost like an AKI game, but a lot stiffer and more basic. A couple of trolls are going around the internet saying it's a TNA Impact! clone, but that's nowhere near true. They tried to copy the AKI games even down to going in to "special mode" & weak/strong grapples.

I don't know I think it's pretty good. If you're expecting a Smackdown killer you aren't going to get that, but it's a fun little wrestling game. Their biggest mistake was putting it out for $60 instead of $40.

I'm enjoying it. A bit hard at some points in the Story Mode (Seriously?! A handicap match against the Wagnermaniacs?! Kiss my ass!), but it's a fun game.

I just want the damn unlock code for the minis! GIMME MY MINI!

[Alucard]

Yeah, it's really quite fun. I'm enjoying it thus far.

Just went to my Gamestop to talk with my buddy about my preorder.

Confirmed, no masks. The bonus though? Ten bucks off the game. Eh, alright, not too bad I guess.

Seriously? If I had known this, I might have kept my pre-order.

Instead, I canceled and pre-ordered Sonic Colors instead. I'm getting some pre-order head gear one way or another!

I got the game today from work. I'm probably the only person who will buy it (Not exactly a big Lucha tradition in Augusta Maine) from our store but I must say its a nice little game. It's basic in a lot of ways but it's not terrible. Really gets across the tradition and feeling of Lucha Libre more than any WWE piece or that god awful MTV show ever could. A nice first outing but they do have a lot to improve on if and when they make a sequel.

I kinda wish they had Sexy Star though. Gotta be honest I think she's hot.

[Alucard]

So um.

HOW do I beat Wagner Jr. and Silver King? I've tried getting them counted out but they're too smart. And they're effing relentless.

[skulldouggory]

I tried to contact Konami abot if it was getting an Australian or even PAL release and they never got back to me. And its also nowhere to be found on any PAL territory sites. I might have to settle for the PSP version, which is a huge shame but not a shock. I have been looking forward to this game all year, but i was unsure wether it would get an outside NA/SA version.

[soultsukino]

Well, I have to be honest. I loved the game in story mode but Soured on it when I tried to do any of the achievements. There is a HUGE jump between Easy and Normal difficulty on this game that makes it a LOT less fun. All I can say is they better cough up some codes quick to unlock the full roster or else this one is going on the shelf for a long time while I play Fallout New Vegas and Smackdown VS Raw 2011
