Professional wrestling games – particularly those THQ/AKI games from the N64 – have a special place in the heart of Nintendo gamers of a certain age. Many people including those who weren’t necessarily wrestling fans have fond memories of WCW/nWo Revenge, WWF WrestleMania 2000, and WWF No Mercy. These games nearly perfected the controls and were so fun to play that we’re still comparing any new wrestling game to them over two decades later . Sadly, there hasn’t been a wrestling game in recent memory that’s managed to capture that magic, though many have tried. Enter AEW Fight Forever, the latest game that aims to recapture the past. In fact, AEW went so far as to partner with THQ Nordic and Yuke’s, who developed multiple games for NJPW and WWE in the past. And they didn’t stop there, appointing former WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy director Hideyuki “Geta” Iwashita to the same position on AEW Fight Forever. It’s clear where the inspiration came from, so that begs the question…did they succeed in reaching those lofty goals?

I have a confession for all of you. A shameful, dark, secret that is a blight on my Nintendo fandom. I’ve never finished a Fire Emblem game. There have been close calls in the past, but I’ve always fallen off before the end. What’s an acceptable penance? Saying 10 “Hail Mario’s”? Pray to the Rosalina beads? I don’t want my Nintendo card revoked!

It’s been 10 years since the release of MLB 2K12 for the Wii and Nintendo DS, which essentially marked the beginning of a dearth of MLB licensed games on Nintendo systems. Sure, there were the resurrected RBI Baseball games from 2017-2021, but these were widely panned by critics as poor to middling efforts. Arcade-style baseball games have also been available, but they don’t have the MLB teams or rosters that fans of the sport want to play as. After many long years, licensed, simulation-style baseball steps up to the plate for Nintendo fans once again with MLB The Show 22 on Switch.
