Ay dios mio! Sin Cara's on the Latin cover of WWE 12 photo

I don't recall ever seeing a game getting a Latin American Edition, but it's fitting that a wrestling game would blaze that trail. Masked luchador Sin Cara will be replacing Randy Orton as the cover athlete for WWE 12 in Latin America.

Game content will be identical across all regions with only the cover athlete differing. It's a neat idea, changing the cover athlete of a game based on the region. Given our industry's affinity for changing cover art within the localization process it's not an absurd notion. Well played THQ.

Last year they put Mysterio on cover I think.

EA used to do that with Madden En Espanol.

It surprised the hell out of me to walk into Best Buy and see Roberto Garza on the cover of Madden.

Still want that Mysterio vs. Sin Cara match. Good chance that'll be a WrestleMania bout.

Best ring entrance ever.

Nah, just Wade for the UK, as much as I love Regal and Sheamus.

Coincidentally, that header could also be used for Latin Arkham City.

They should do a reversible cover, with Sin Cara Azule on one side and Sin Cara Negro on the other. Even if they didn't do that, I wish I could buy the Sin Cara edition, it would be much cooler than Randy Orton or The Rock.

@DNA619

I think this evil twin storyline is awesome. I hope it culminates with Sin Cara Azule turning heel and forming a tag team with Sin Cara Negro.

Wonder if this is THQ's decision or if its one that WWE came up with. Either way, its nice they're acknowledging Latin America, and the Lucha wrestlers in the WWE, even if its just a cash grab to do so.

Agreed, the imposter Kane storyline was awful, lets never mention it again. I only see WWE going with a power rangers angle with Sin Cara if his merch starts selling as well as Mysterio's. Then they'll do all the different colors just so the kids have 5 masks to buy instead of just one.
