For the first time at E3, there will be live wrestling on the show floor that will determine which athlete will grace the cover of a game. The match will be between Dr Wagner, who is ranked #1 in the world and La Parka, who is ranked #2 in the world. A fairly unknown developer, Slang, is set to release Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes Del Ring sometime later this year on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP and DSiWare. The event schedule has been released below, so if you are going to be hitting up E3 next weekend, make sure you get there in time to witness E3’s first ever Wrestlemania!

According to an article in The Huffington Post, people with Ipads have no need of Handhelds nor Consoles.
Yes, Because I dont care about real gaming, and i game with no buttons
/end sarcasm
To begin am not a casual gamer and an iPad would NEVER fully replace my need for a console like the PS3 however...
If i had an iPad I would probably game a bit less on PS3 because sometimes I don't care what game am playing as long as its fun easy and stress free.
I don't always want a real challenge which is why i sometimes resort to games like LBP or even PC flash games.
If I had an iPad I would sometimes play it while am watching TV and sitting on my coach even if I was in reach of my PS3.
But could I survive totally on casual games?
Probably no longer than a week.
Weird, bcoz my Ipad can barely do anything gaming related.
The games that I have on it barely even keep my attention for 5mins.
The iPad is a perfect device for the casual gamer who also needs to email, browse the web, movies, music, podcasts,spreadsheets on the go, Ebooks/Audio books, etc. I'm waiting for Facetime upgrade before I buy.
Amazing software/hardware. I love this company.
Huffington's piece is the typical view of a casual gamer who thinks one little piece of tech can fill in the needs for everything else.
Haters going to hate but Apple will continue to dominate MS and all other competitors in this space.
Oh and Apple just because the second most valued company in the U.S.
The ipad has a few uses but it's a poor replacement for any of those five devices mentioned.
# 5 - traditional video games consoles (Xbox, Playstation, Wii)
not even close, not unless you've been buying consoles to play bejewelled
#4 - MP3 player
Sure it can play MP3s, but do you really want to lug something that big around if you just want to listen to some music
# 3 - Laptop Computer
Limited software, poor interoperability. It's ok if all you wanted to do was surf the web and do a little email
# 2 - portable game consoles (DS, PSP)
Too big, poor controls
# 1 - E-book reader
Poor screen compared to e-paper, limited battery life and for me it's too big. My shiny new 5" e-reader fits in my pocket.
I think i'm in a pretty good position to talk about this. I just picked up a 64gb iPad a week ago in order to pursue editing my DSLR photog RAW files on the fly and uploading it.
I decided to pick up a game during my downtime and surprisingly have been playing pretty hardcore strategy and RPG games with the unit.
There are alot of very well-made and deep titles on the iPad. The portability and "giant" screen size is fantastic, the touchscreen is very responsive (to the point of being able to play like street fighter II using a virtual joystick). The game I'm playing right now (battle of Wesnoth) is a blend of RPG/Strategy and easily 100+ hours in length. Best of all most of these games cost less than $8 (avg. around $5).
I think sims, strategy, rts, rpg, arcade titles, and even FPS lend themselves very well to the iPad interface.
Anyway, just sharing my two cents.
If you actually go to the Huffington Post story, it was a SURVEY, with different respondants saying which devices they didn't need anymore. And when the reporter in the video said the number five item people said they didn't need anymore was a gaming console, she said that those people didn't understand what a gaming console could really do. Meaning the reporter was SUPPORTING VIDEO GAMES. You people...
I've been playing like crazy on iphone4. My time on 360 is getting less and less as can fly a plane in Xplane, race around tracks in NFS:Shift/Asphalt, Real racing, fight my way in SFIV, have halo like fps in N.O.V.A. The graphics due to REtina display are much better than psp or ds.
I spent 4~5 hours in hospital yesterday as my GF was in for food poisoning and kept myself busy with Angry birds while she was getting her IVs.
So yes if you have life you can enjoy more games on your handhelds not sure about these PADs though as they are bulky and awkward to use.
well i have PS3,360,iPhone 4, iPad and a PSP. i play them all apart from my PSP now cause i use an iPhone which is a phone with great games.
So, waht are you playing:
IMetalGearSolidPeaceWalker?
iKingdomHeartsBirthBySleep?
iPhantasyStarPortable2?
iValkyriaChronicles2?
iGodOfWarGhostOfSparta?
La Parka was the man back in WCW! The chair man!
i want to see la parka vs hiphopgamer on the e3 floor
You know what to do lol.
This will go well in E3, MEXICAN will be all over the place and will recognize these wrestlers
pretty epic stipulation
