It came out on consoles, and now it's in 3D, brother.

WWE All Stars is coming to 3DS on November 22, the same day that WWE '12 hits Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

It will be a 3D-enhanced port of the game that originally came out on home consoles in March. WWE All Stars on 3DS will also include two modes and 13 characters that were only available as downloadable content for the 360 and PS3 versions.

We reviewed WWE All Stars on Wii when it came out, with reviewer Andy Goergen saying "WWE All Stars is a fun action sports title, and should appeal to most fans who have a nostalgic fondness for wrestling."

Be sort of interesting to do a graphics comparison.  I really think the 3DS can pull off what the Wii can do with a little love.

I'm excited about this.  I enjoyed the Wii game quite a bit.


What I'd really like is a decent downloadable WWE title so I could have it preinstalled and play whenever the urge strikes.

LOL, I was about to say that there are some WWE iOS games, but then saw you said "decent".
