WWE/UFC Games

[helix2301]

The new Legends of Wrestling is coming out. Now I am a die hard PC Gamer but I always have to buy an xbox just to play wwe/ufc and now TNA video games is there any reason why they never come out for the PC.

I don't think they sell well. You need a decent gamepad to play them on pc, too. A lot of folks don't want to buy one just for their wrestling games. I haven't seen a WWE pc game since they put out RAW in like 2005. Never played it but it was reviewed well. I don't think it sold many copies, though. Consoles are a much bigger market--everyone has at least one or two wrestling games for their xbox or whatever.

They are very little fighting games for the PC anyways. Like I have not see any big releases since Mortal Kombat 3 for PC. From time to time there is the odd copy of Fatal Fury or Samuria Shodown appearing in the $10 bargin bins. But that is about it.

The problem with those games is that you really needs a joypad. And Joypads really don't sell that well on the PC Market.

I know what you mean but in my case I have a controller to play need for speed. It cost me more money to buy systems just to play a few games.

Yeah, this seems to be the most recent one I can find and it's 5 years old. There's a few generic unlicensed ones but those seem to be mediocre at best. Is there a PS2 emulator good enough to play these games decently? Maybe you'll have to settle for that.

Over the years, I have been happy with one of those Playstation 2 to USB Converters.

With the XBOX 360 controllers now all it is, is a USB plug now. So you would think they could relesae more games like that for the PC. I mean a Wired 360 contoller is easy to isntall. Get the software from Windows Update and be on with the games.

I got Gears of War for PC not long ago and it is far easier to play with the joypad than the keyboard/mouse.

Maybe it is cause of the fact that PC games is so highly pirated. They dont wont to lose their tail off in sales compared to the costs for production.
