| WWE 2K16 roster: Hideo Itami, Ultimate Warrior, NXT and more take total to 56
Added: 17.08.2015 16:25 | 45 views | 0 comments
UPDATE for August 17: 13 more superstars were revealed today - again, a bit sooner than planned, by way of some ingenious internet detective work on the - including the debuting Hideo Itami, and two wrestlers returning to the series after missing out in 2K15: Zack Ryder and Heath Slater. Also, even more NXT, which is just great. That takes the number of confirmed wrestlers to 56 – you can see the full list at the end of this gallery.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: While Yuke's' official WWE series has garnered mixed reviews in recent years, one area it’s always strong in is attention to detail outside of the ring, specifically arenas, wrestler entrances, and t-shirts worn by members of the crowd. In fact that latter apparel-based matter has become a flawless, ambient tie-up with each game's roster over the years. Simply, if a WWE superstar or diva is in the game, so too is their official merchandise, and vice versa. As a result, 2K’s recent of Finn Balor and Seth Rollins’ entrances inadvertently blows a good deal more future reveals, unveiling - at least to eagle-eyed fans - another 22 roster members in WWE 2K16 who haven’t yet been ‘officially’ announced.
With more than 120 wrestlers featured in the upcoming edition, there’s been a clamour for stars both old and new to join current-era combatants like John Cena and Randy Orton. And on this evidence, 2K and Yuke’s have delivered. Stalwarts The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and The Rock are joined by the returning Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart, while NXT standouts Baron Corbin, Enzo Amore and Charlotte are among this year’s debutants. For all 22 in-game characters unveiled in this way, and an updated list of every guy and gal revealed so far, read on…
Last year the WCW legend made his WWE game debut as a pre-order incentive, ahead of his first ever in-ring appearance for the company against Triple H at WrestleMania 31. He lost that particular match, but there’s better news on the virtual front, with this unmistakable tee confirming his spot in WWE 2K16.
Eater of worlds, new face of fear, and king of the rambling nonsensical promo, Bo Dallas’s real-life big bro has spent the year racking up victories against Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Roman Reigns before realigning with ‘family’ member Luke Harper. His return to the series after debuting last year, then, is hardly a surprise – but it’s still pleasing to have it confirmed.
Grease is the word? Meh. Try ‘woo’. That blue shirt we’ve zoomed in on here is unmistakably the ‘If you’re gonna do it, do it with Flair’ number , and former NXT Women’s champ, throughout this year. Joining her on the 2K16 roster are fellow WWE Hall Of Famer offspring: Jimmy and Jey Uso, sons of stinkface-rocking Too Cool dance buddy Rikishi.
NXT champion for much of 2015, the artist formerly known as Kevin Steen burst onto the WWE scene proper at Elimination Chamber with a five-star match against John Cena, from which he emerged victorious. Subsequent losses to WWE’s answer to Superman have dampened his heat since, but you’ll at least be able to enact revenge with Mr Pop-up Powerbomb in 2K16.
Still finding his feet in NXT, former NFL lineman Tom Pestock recently turned heel after an unsuccessful babyface run in which even former ECW favourite Rhyno failed to make him interesting. Still, there’s raw potential here – and if Corbin does make it to Raw over the next 12 months, you’ll be able to promote him similarly in-game.
Seriously injured in a match with Samoa Joe earlier this year, it’s strongly rumoured that Kidd may never wrestle again – which would be a huge shame after he and Cesaro’s innovative tag team run earlier in 2015. You’ll at least be able to reunite the pair within 2K16 – or place either in technical masterclasses against the man consider some to be the greatest ever, Shawn ‘HBK’ Michaels.
Currently used in a part-time role due to husband Tyson Kidd’s aforementioned neck knack, many experts still consider the daughter of Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart to be WWE’s best in-ring female performer. Fancy seeing her embark upon a second, much-deserved Divas Championship reign? In 2K16, that power is yours.
Cody Rhodes has appeared in multiple previous WWE titles, but his alter-ego Stardust was omitted from last year’s iteration after his character switch occurred after roster finalisation. No such problem this time around. We expect brother and on-off rival Goldust – currently out injured, but still contracted to WWE – to be revealed imminently, too.
Underwhelming fan reaction at the turn of the year turned the man being groomed as John Cena Mk II into the 2015 reincarnation of Lex Luger. Which is a shame, as even an overexposed Reigns is 100 times more bearable in main events than 73 year-old Kane or 73 stone Big Show. Like him or not, he’ll be one of 2K16’s most powerful competitors.
Altogether now: ‘der-dum, dum, dum dum dum, der-dum, dum, dum dum dum…’ The beast is back in 2K16, as he had to be: no WWE performer has been as dominant over the last two years as the former UFC champ. We still await confirmation of ‘associate’ Paul Heyman’s return as a manager, but – like Lesnar’s opponents after a Brock beating – it’s a no-brainer.
Again, no surprises here. The man who was once Nicky in the Spirit Squad is now something of a WWE veteran (although we wish he’d revert to being a heel), while ‘Taker has appeared in every single one of the series’ games since it launched on PS1, as WWF Smackdown, in 2000.
Treading water since his brilliant team run with ‘stunt double’ Damien Mizdow ended, 2K16 will afford you the opportunity to turn back time and reunite that pairing – before having the star-making (in Mizdow’s case) break-up never afforded the twosome in the actual WWE. (Their eventual storyline feud was a lazily written afterthought.)
On the shelf since May with a busted shoulder, the indie darling formerly known as El Generico is unlikely to return to a WWE ring until the spring of next year. His inclusion in 2K16, then, is wonderful news for anyone looking to resuscitate the outstanding feud between Zayn and best frienemy Kevin Owens.
When GamesRadar attended NXT live in San Jose ahead of this year’s WrestleMania, no single act was cheered as fervently as the New Jersey based tag team with the contemporary New Age Outlaws schtick. Among diehard fans, there’s no doubt their 2K debut will be welcomed with equal rapture.
Sure, the shirt design is slightly different from those you can buy new, but there’s still no mistaking that this bit of apparel belongs to Calgary, Alberta, Canada’s finest son. How can we be certain? 1. The pink. 2. The skull. 3. The words ‘BRET’ and ‘HART’ emblazoned across it.
Well, duh. Like the great one was going to miss out on a WWE game for the first time in forever. Rocky’s inclusion rounds out the names revealed so far to 56, just over one-third of the final line-up. That makes the full, current list (*deep breath*)…
Adam Rose, Bad News Barrett, Baron Corbin, Bo Dallas, Booker T, Bray Wyatt, Bret Hart, Brie Bella, Brock Lesnar, Cesaro, Charlotte, Col Mustafa, Colin Cassady, Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Emma, Enzo Amore, Eva Marie, Finn Balor, General Adnan, Goldust, Heath Slater, Hideo Itami, Jack Swagger, Jey Uso, John Cena, Jimmy Uso, Kalisto, Kane, Kevin Owens, Lord Steven Regal, The Miz, Natalya, Neville, Nikki Bella, Paige, Ric Flair, The Rock, Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Shawn Michaels, Sin Cara, Stardust, Sting, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Summer Rae, Tamina, The Terminator, Triple H, Tyler Breeze, Tyson Kidd, Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker, Zack Ryder.

| Super Mario Maker is the game you never knew you always wanted: MMGN preview

Ben Salter of MMGN: When we first saw it at E3 in 2014, it was rough around the edges. It looked like a filler title while the Wii U awaited its dedicated 3D Mario game, which now looks unlikely to ever happen.
Jump forward to E3 this year, and it was one of the highlights of the show. With GamePad in-hand, I was surprised at how easy it is to create, and play, a Super Mario Bros stage.
