I want something sound and simple -- like FirePro (god, why did I trade that in for credit towards a DS>?!) -- but completely fresh. and Ian has wanted a wrestling game that rewards players for giving the audience a good match rather than pummeling the opponent relentlessly
I really think that the Wiimote could be used (in retro mode) sans motion control for some great wrestling action (like, WCW/NWO: World Tour quality wrasslin)
then again, I would LOVE to clothesline some fools, or try to break a pinfall/submission by tapping buttons AND shaking the hell out of my Wiimote.
goodness-- imagine actually tapping out!!!
EDIT: okay, so that was supposed to be a joke, but it ties in with my vision for an online wrestling title where there are scheduled matches and leagues and factions and rankings and ratings. WiiConnect24 will supply us with results from the matches that we have missed, or you can tune in and watch the match online (is that possible with the WiFi Connection's infrastructure?). I'm talking about the creation of a fake online wrestling circuit. you create your character, his entrance, his sparkling innovation, his legacy. Everything works like the big leagues -- you search for random matches, make a name for yourself, once you earn some rankings you can compete in a bigger market, join major factions, start feuds with people on your Friends or Rivals list.
Maybe-- and I don't know how this would really work-- you could interfere with a match against a Rival (he would have to be in an opposing faction and the members of the factions would have to come to mitual terms of acceptance with interference -- if KnowsNothing is alright with HostileCreation interfering to help him, then he can approve, but before the match Ian gets to see that KN allows interference, at which point Ian can choose to lock the match) That makes it seem like every match would be locked, so perhaps there would be some other system for handling that, but who really cares? this game will never come out. I'd allow people to jump in for/against me mid-match, but they better believe that I'd check the scheduled events the next morning and rush the ring after his match (Dake Ken style -- or should i say Project HAMMER?)
plus, if you competed in a season, you'd really have to worry about your wrestler's health. If you are too stubborn to tap out in a match, your character will feint, the Referee (which can be a player or comp, this is the digital age, after all) will call the match, and your wrestler might suffer a serious injury that would affect his performance for weeks. now that's drama.
