According to Pocketgamer the remake of WWE WrestleFest for iOS (see the earlier article for more details) will release on Tuesday the 21st. That is the date THQ has been teasing in recent images they’ve posted on their ‘WWE Games’ social network pages.

The article goes into further details including how the game will include a mix of current stars and legends (obviously “Macho Man” and Randy Orton are confirmed), a multi-player mode, and extensive downloadable content probably in the form of additional wrestlers and venues. As of yet there is no word on how much the base game will cost and it’ll be interesting to see how well a nostalgia driven button-masher ultimately translates to today’s touch screen devices. Check out some screenshots in the gallery!

As long as it works natively on the iPad, I’ll probably check this out. I’d much rather have it on XBLA but I’ll take what I can get.

Any hope for an Android version release?

  I’ve asked about that – but I don’t think they want to comment on anything since WrestleFest isn’t even official yet from their side of things. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were working on an Android version but they’d focus on getting out the iOS versions first.

I don’t get why they’d only make this for iOS.

    He many not necessarily mean why isn’t it available for other phone platforms… He might mean why isn’t it available on consoles as well (like I said above, I’d love an XBLA release).

      Exactly – and a fair question. Why not make another quick buck with a PSN/XBLA release?
