-- Midway Games, which produced the TNA video game, has been under heavy financial issues. They have been given until mid-February to repay a $75 million loan. There were plans for a second TNA game, however, the hole Midway Games is in it will be very unlikely to see a second TNA game. We’ll keep you updated.

Did they actually expect it to sell like a GTA game 0____o
Thats huge, Midway itself is going to die because of this. And I was hoping for Unreal Tournament 4 ;___;

Ouch this is pretty sad. Midway used to be so awesome, but now they just make crappy games. I wonder who will make TNA Impact 2 now. I think EA might take a crack at it.

*AKI fanboy enters topic.*

syn Sophia inc.

But, I still call them AKI myself. If EA takes over I don't know if they'd be smart enough to get AKI to do it, after all the Def Jam series was wildly popular and those smug little shits over at EA thought they could cut AKI out and still make a game that sells just as well. Hopefully they learned their lesson, but it's doubtful. The other question is, would AKI actually want to work with EA again?

When TNA was norrowing down there choices, it was down to Midway, EA & Rock Star Games. I wonder if Rock Star could pull off making a wrestling game.

Nah, they couldn't. Who made WrestleKingdom? Or that Rumble ROses? They could proberly take a crack at it. I hope EA Dosen't, although it would mean alot more money for TNA, proberly.

Rumble Roses was created using the Yuke's engine as well. Either way, I don't want either of them touching it. I'm sick of Yuke's wrestling gameplay. I haven't played Wrestling Kingdom, but I know Smackdown and I'm tired of the games. A TNA game by Yuke's would just be another variation of the Smackdown engine.

Don't really care for Midway much, but I have to admit that this is kinda sad for them. But at least we might not have to put up with another shitty TNA game.

Wrestle Kingdom does have one thing different thing to the WWE games in that you can do grouped grapples just like Legends of Wrestling series they work properly in Wrestle Kingdom too unlike Legends of Wrestling where the whole gameplay is glitched and full of bugs.
