Lucha libre game coming to America
If your thirst for over-the-top brawling wasn't quite quenched by UFC 2009: Undisputed, perhaps you should turn your attention to a fighting style with a bit more Latin flavor -- we speak, of course, of the divine art of Lucha libre, featured in the new project from young publisher Slang, titled AAA: El Videojuego (that's Spanish for "the video game," dontchaknow). The debut trailer for the game is posted after the jump.
The game's being developed for Xbox 360 and PS3 by Immersion Software and for Wii, PSP and DS by Argentine developer Sabarasa Studios. The 360 and PS3 versions are due out in late 2009 or early 2010, with all others following shortly thereafter. The game focuses on the action and the stars of the AAA wrestling league -- our personal favorite is La Parka, who's known for his Flying Eagle Kick maneuver, as well as his proclivity for delivering cans of gasoline to stranded motorists.

Looks like garbage lol
Raffikki5491 @ Jun 24th 2009 12:46PM
I'm sorry, I guessed I missed the part with your mother in it. What a shame I would've like to have called it garbage too.
Heavytoka @ Jun 24th 2009 12:50PM
No reason to bring anybodys mother into it, grow up
Raffikki5491 @ Jun 24th 2009 12:59PM
Comes from a guy who calls a game garbage from a teaser trailer, I was just trying to stoop down to your level. Trust me I'm not the one who needs to grow up. Have a nice day.
joerendous @ Jun 24th 2009 1:10PM
that makes no sense.
Wizzleteets @ Jun 24th 2009 1:18PM
If someone told me that they didn't know what an Internet forum was like, I'd show them this post.
Raffikki5491 @ Jun 24th 2009 1:21PM
Sorry you cannot comprehend joerendous, I guess maybe I need to grow up because I don't judge a game as "garbage" just because a "teaser" trailer wasn't up to my standards, not to mention it's at least half a year or more away. Wow You're so right joerendous, how dare I want to make an informed decision.

Conflicting opinions?

Ridgecity @ Jun 24th 2009 1:55PM
The thing I don't like is how they are mixing it up with retro mexican style, It's almost as instead of masks they were wearing sombreros and fight in a cantina.
Not to mention they use regular espn style graphics on their shows not nacho libre style. Had they made a game about all the history of mexican wrestling that would fit so much better.

Raff...are you like...an angry luchador or something? Why are you getting so angry and seemingly taking this personal? The graphics look last gen and the gameplay looks repetitive and boring. Just because you are finally realizing your dream of getting to control spandex clad Latin dudes in weird masks to straddle other spandex clad Latin dudes doesn't disallow others to express their opinions over what looks to be a bad game.
Raffikki5491 @ Jun 24th 2009 2:12PM
Oh yeah let me tell you I'm sooooo angry right now, I'm just punching walls left and right trying to relieve all my frustration about this post, it's absolutely ridiculous how many tables I've smashed in the past 15 minutes!
But seriously, I'm just sick and tired of people coming out and saying a game looks like garbage from 15 seconds of not even close to done gameplay. And this happens in every game on every system, a 360 fanboy says MGS4 looks shitty and calls it garbage or a PS3 fanboy calls Gears of War 2 an epic fail in graphics and rules it off as shitty. Just the other day I saw a bunch of idiots say God of War 3 is going to be horrible just because the demo shown at E3 was a little slow and laggy in the beginning. I guess nobody ever thinks about a game may have some clipping issues or may lag 6 to 12 months before its release date. I guess teaser trailers with still in development gameplay should be the ultimate deciding factor in whether a game will be good or not.
Will this game be bad, probably. Will I pick it up? No. But just because I know that now doesn't mean the game will be shitty when all I've seen is 15 seconds of gameplay.
And as far as your little comments about me realizing my dream "U U D D L R L R B A SELECT START", real funny kid, maybe you should take a look at your avatar and see who really would enjoy this game, good to see your stealing pictures from Mario's match.com profile, don't worry I'm sure he'll reply to your punkass soon about a date.
avan @ Jun 24th 2009 2:19PM
This looks like crap no matter what, maybe next time use a real developer no this 3rd world clowns

Raffikki, you're an idiot and you're embarrassing yourself.

Ben: +1
For real, the OP stated that the trailer looks like garbage. And it does. I don't know why this guy is going into a flying rage. Man, I would hate to see what happens when they put the wrong toppings on his pizza at Chuck E. Cheese.
Raffikki5491 @ Jun 24th 2009 2:53PM
Oh yeah Ben, I'm an idiot, wanna back that up? I've backed up my argument, but everyone just seems to be joining the bandwagon posting without actually backing anything up. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid you really are.
And for your information, I'm not mad, unlike you I'm not sitting at home refreshing this page just to argue, I just realized that I have the email me when someone replies button checked. Now I'm off to actually live a life, you guys can keep talking, I've stated my argument and defended it. If you want to keep making stupid comments about Chuck E. Cheeses or where you guys like to hang that's fine with me. When it comes to internet arguing, I don't care. As far as I'm concerned this is over, little children can keep posting after this, have a nice day.

Im sold if I can kick a Ewok like in that video.
And they should have Nacho as a unlockable.

Jeff Smith @ Jun 24th 2009 12:44PM
Is it just me or does it look like it's just a TNA Impact palette swap?
I guess on the bright side, I already saw more moves in that trailer than on the TNA game :p
Dethgar @ Jun 24th 2009 5:05PM
You my friend, speak the truth!
Here's to hoping the controls don't suck at least.

I will take this game and break its back like so... WITH MY KNEE!

Where's Senor Crap in a Bag?
Oshio @ Jun 24th 2009 12:55PM
I was wondering when they were going to make a wrestling with Latin American super stars. This will probably make my dad start playing video game since he's such a HUGE fan for Mexican Wrestling.
Jerses @ Jun 24th 2009 12:57PM
Trophies?
i kid, this game looks so 2001, im from Mexico and i am ashame of this trailer. Im hearing national law suite with the names of some luchadores and make up..
Ridgecity @ Jun 24th 2009 1:39PM
Since it has even the league title as name, it's probably a licensed product and about quality, this is probably their first game ever, I don't believed they have experienced people working there, so if it's their first try, it's pretty good for a budget title.
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jun 24th 2009 12:56PM
Suda51 better be in the game

I just watched the video....Is that Psychosis?
Storm Eagle @ Jun 24th 2009 1:00PM
Nevermind. I'm having an off day. I really should read the post before I comment. I got the name wrong. It's La Parka. They mentioned him in the post. I remember him from WAY back in the WCW days. That's so funny.
Maxx the Slash @ Jun 24th 2009 1:52PM
Actually, there are two La Parkas. The one that's in this game (and the one currently in AAA lucha libre is the 2nd La Parka, who is not the one who was in WCW). AAA owns the La Parka character, so the original La Parka, upon falling out with AAA, was told he could never use the La Parka character, so the original La Parka, who wrestled in WCW, is not using a variation of the character, now called "L.A. Park". There's barely any difference between La Parka and L.A. Park, because AAA officials are too stupid to notice it.
Yeah, just wanted to inform you of that for trivia purposes.
Dante G @ Jun 24th 2009 1:58PM
There was also a Super Parka.
sncrjames @ Jun 24th 2009 1:01PM
why do you guys continue to cover junk games like this...
verymetal @ Jun 24th 2009 1:06PM
Why do people even bother to waste time writing a post on topics they do not care about?
josearoldan @ Jun 24th 2009 1:13PM
Let me guess since the game is not made by a big company its junk? Its junk because its not an FPS? Or is it because it doesnt seem to have 1080p graphics?
verymetal @ Jun 24th 2009 1:03PM
I dont care what the wrestling game is called or who the wrestlers are. The wrestling fighting engine should be based around the AKI wrestling games from the N64 days.
Heavytoka @ Jun 24th 2009 1:12PM
Agreed, games like WWF No Mercy were great
Storm Eagle @ Jun 24th 2009 1:27PM
