Introduction

Hey there, wrestling fans! Are you ready to rumble your way into the world of 'AEW Fight Forever' on the Nintendo Switch? Get ready to pile-drive your way through a colorful roster, all while trying not to get body-slammed by the shortcomings of this new wrestling title. Let's dive into the ring and see if this game can slap the mat or if it will just flop around like a fish out of water!

Gameplay

'AEW Fight Forever' brings classic arcade-style wrestling back, which is like putting on an old, slightly smelly, wrestling outfit from your childhood - but hey, nostalgia is a powerful thing! The game features a variety of match types like singles, tag-team, and even a foot-mashing Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch! Trust me, it's as over-the-top as it sounds. You can also take YOUR wrestler through the 'Road to Elite' career mode, which is filled with storylines and choices that make you feel like the ultimate wrestling manager, but maybe with a slightly less budget. Just remember to upgrade your wrestler because no one wants to suck in front of Kenny Omega!

Graphics

The graphics on the Switch can be described as... um, charming? Imagine if Disney were to make their wrestlers cartoonish, with exaggerated facial features and colorful outfits. They definitely took inspiration from classic games like 'WWF No Mercy'. You'll be fighting in arenas that look more like play-dough models than realistic representations - but who said realism was the goal? The charm and nostalgia can sometimes overshadow the outdated visuals, making you feel all warm and fuzzy, even if your opponents look like they just walked out of a caricature artist's nightmare.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 'AEW Fight Forever' is like that friend who shows up late to the party; they're not the coolest, but they definitely bring the fun! While the game has its fair share of glitches (the Switch version seems like it's trying to run in 1999), and a lack of depth in certain features, it scratches that nostalgic itch for wrestling fans. If you're in it for some pick-up-and-play fun with friends while introducing newcomers to the wild world of professional wrestling, this game might just deliver a few flying headbutts of joy. Just remember to take a deep breath and laugh through the mess - because sometimes laughter really is the best weapon. Now, get out there and unleash your inner champion... or at least try not to trip over your own feet!
