When THQ releases WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 this fall, it will have many wrestlers facing off inside the ring. But the game will have its own face-off outside the ring thanks to Midway, which will be releasing its own grappler, TNA iMPACT!, the first game based on the relatively newer wrestling league that airs on Spike TV.
Set for release this September on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Wii, the game may not be as deep as THQ's, but according to Scot Layne, the Studio Head of Midway L.A., and TNA wrestler Jay "Black Machismo" Lethal, TNA still might just put WWE in a headlock.
James writes: "The wrestling portion of the video game market has been dominated by WWE (formerly WWF) for years now, fighting off their biggest rivals WCW in the process. There was another who tried to dethrone the leading brand in the late 2000s though, when Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) took their popularity to the next level with the release of a wrestling game. Ten years after the release of TNA Impact!, it’s time to look back at whether it was a success. Did TNA Impact! whip up a storm in the world of gaming like a hurricane coming through to leave a lasting legacy, or was it more of a failed attempt at cashing in on the rapidly growing promotion?"
TNA Wrestling President Dixie Carter has revealed the company is still interested in making another video game.
Apparently the last one didn't suck quite enough; they KNOW they can do a crappier one than that.
I'd love to see someone bring back the N64 Aki Engine. TNA or even a generic wrestling game to make the WWE games step up their game. It's been basically the same for this generation.
Those game are the best wrestling games ever!!!
My favorite are NoMercy and WCW vs nWo revenge
indeed, is that picture really from wwe 13? also i thought the physics in the tna game were pretty good, the characters moved and reacted to things alot better than any smackdown game, hopefully they can just fix the wrestling mechanics and make a good one next time round.
Lol, WWE 13 no where near looks that bad! That is either not WWE 13 or a shoddy created wrestler.
Not saying WWE 13 looks good, just not that bad > http://d1vr6n66ssr06c.cloud...
Reminds me of Madden 13. All the players look...wrong. Then you look at a supposed Jerry Rice after a superbowl win and it's just some guy that could have just as easily been Arsenio Hall.
APF 2k8 made in 2007: Jerry Rice

It's laughable but sad because Football and wrestling games have been stale since 2007.
A new TNA game would be fantastic, the in ring action in TNA is much faster and fluid than anything I've seen in WWE. Especially the X Division stuff!
Recently on a TNA post show Jeremy Borash stated that TNA was working on a new Ipad video game while Kurt Angle also stated the same on his twitter account so WrestlingGamer.com decided to discuss on why TNA should come out with preferably a console game and ways they could improve on their previous console release.
Why make another TNA gay game the first one sucks that the Spongebob game was way better
