Another UFC game? Oh hell yes! photo

For those of us who follow Mixed Martial Arts and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, we've been begging for a good video game of our favorite sport for a few years now and thankfully THQ is ready to fill the void that has existed since the Dreamcast days. From 1UP:

As of yesterday, THQ has acquired the rights to publish games based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship license through 2011. The agreement gives them rights to both past and present UFC fighters. They yet to state who's developing the games or what console they'll appear on (our guess: most of 'em).

Oh, what a happy day.

THQ's WCW/NWO Revenge is one of the best wrestling game ever!

THQ had nothing to with the 64 wrestling games, they just published them, AKI was the developer and they're the ones responsible for the games being as good, since they left they've been mostly mediocre.

Any wrestling game is the worst game ever.

Kyousuke Nanbu,

This article is about THQ getting the rights to publish a UFC game...who knows who they'll work with to get the game done.

Yeah wrestling games are terrible, than again I don't believe Ultimate Fighting Championship is exactly wresting. Also believe that K-1 > UFC.

Pro Wrestling is faked and not NEARLY as entertaining as REAL FIGHTING!

Pride Fighting > UFC

No Mercy > WCW vs. NWO

I played WvN 10x more that No Mercy, and the whole time I played it, I was in awe at how much better it was.

Wrestlemania x8 (for GCN) worst wrestling, and probably worst game over all...of all time. ^_^

I always wondered why this had such a following. Whenever my channel flipping brings me into the Octagon, it's less like "Bloodsport" and more like gay porn. Sweaty dudes writhing around on the ground, one with his legs wrapped around the other, with balls firmly planted in face. I'll hold my breath for Crackdown.


And Worms.

The sad part is, as Ted knows, I'd do this in an instant, no matter how destroyed I'd get.

I'll never quite understand how some people can equate two fighters beating the living hell out of each other to homosexuality.

Insecure much?

I remember when I first played the Dreamcast version, and you could essentially mount people and smack the hell out of them. The blood splatters and neck snapping made me laugh. I'm going to the doctor now.
