Get out your masks: Slang announces Mexican wrestling game photo

A Mexican wrestling game, you say? It needed to happen. Newish publisher Slang has stepped up to take on the case, and says that AAA: El Videojuego will be out late this year or early next year.The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions will be developed by Immersion Software, while Sabarasa Studios will take on the Wii, PSP and DS versions.

Call me crazy, but for some reason when a game is coming out for every console imaginable, I get wary. Not sure why that is. I want to think this game will be as awesome as a topless girl wearing a bling-studded luchadore mask, but that's asking a lot. At any rate, as soon as we know more we'll let you know.

[Update: There's a trailer featuring some gameplay and some other weird... stuff... after the jump.]

I LOVE how the mask doesn't fit the placement of her eyes.

I share your wariness for games that come out on everything. At best, it will be good on one platform and crap on others, like Call of Duty only really works on the 360 or PS3.

Thank you for making me both happy in the pants and scared in my brain at the same time, Colette. That header is glorious!

By The Way, the meaning of AAA it's one of the worst names for a lucha libre company

Asistencia Asesoría y Administración
Asistence, Asesory and Administration Wrestling!!!11!one!1uno!!

But the fights are way than the WWE ones.

and talking about the A's
Why don't they simple mean: Andale Andale Arriba!?

Anyway, this looks great and i really hope this change the way of play wrestling games

I'm honestly very excited for this one. I haven't bought a WWE game in years because they have gotten stale to me. I had hopes for the TNA Impact game but that let me down. Now I'm hoping this one changes things up enough that I'll want to play it for 20-40 hours.

Televisa?
I hope it does well in sales, it could really help crate a spark for the pretty much non existing mexican video game industry.

If they could only merge the worlds of lucha libre and puroresu together into one full-featured package, I'd be a happy cat.

Also, that header is the hotness! Also, NSFW...

Televisa home entertaiment? seriously I just hope this doesn't put my entire country to shame.

Still it's nice to see some mainstream videogames "Hechos en México"

For sociological "research" purposes, where do I find more images like the one above?

Puppylicks?!?! Where is PuppyLicks??

my thoughts on this. When i ready "Mexican Wrestling Game", I thought it'd be a game very loosely based on the themes of the Luchador that would greatly exaggerate the flamboyance of Mexican wrestling in general.

Instead, it just looks like a mexican "Wrestling Game".

I'll admit it - I like most Japanese and Mexican pro wrestling over the stuff coming out of WWE & TNA these days (and I've been disappointed by lack of Japanese wrestling games coming out in the US - yeah, there's Fire Pro, but not much else).

I really hope this game pulls off the faster Lucha Libre Style.

(I'd have preferred the CMLL licence myself, but the moment I'll take what I can get).
