New test footage, an n64 throwback, and more: Developer's Vlog (Episode 12)

Episode 12 of the Developer's Vlog is now live on YouTube, and there's a bunch to cover this week.

​This week, Mike Hermann of Retrosoft Studios discusses what's new in the world of RetroMania Wrestling, from the development side. Our team is grinding tirelessly to get the first big update out and in your hands. On this week's episode: 

• Mike shows some new test footage that showcases Chris Bey's new moves actually in-game, with the test wrestlers.
  
  
• We're tweaking some other moves so that they'll throw your opponent out of the ring. This will be key going forward especially for the Retro Rumble game mode.
  
  
• A familiar "ding!" from the N64 era of wrestling games is coming as well.
  
  
• Yes, the physical release of RetroMania Wrestling from Limited Run Games is still coming!
  
  
• The next update to RetroMania Wrestling will add old school name plates. Little touches like this are to enhance the overall game experience for both old school fans and newer wrestling fans.
  
  
• The Xbox Achievement issue will be fixed in the next update. We appreciate your patience with this. It's not mentioned in this video, but stay tuned for a MAJOR giveaway that we will be running in January. Entering will be free and easy, and you won't want to miss it.

All that and more this week, so let's get into it! 👇​

Where is the physical copy of RetroMania Wrestling?

On this week's episode, Mike Hermann addressed the physical edition of RetroMania Wrestling, which will be coming from Limited Run Games. Yes, it's still coming, but we do not have a concrete date to share at this time.

New test footage featuring Chris Bey's moves in-game

The Test Wrestlers are back! This week's video shows off some of Chris Bey's new moves. Chris Bey will be the first of our downloadable wrestlers to be released, followed by James Storm, Mr. Hughes, and other pro wrestling legends that are yet to be announced.

Move adjustments will for the retro rumble

We're also tweaking some other moves so that they do more ring-outs, which will bring some fun changes to the Retro Rumble game mode especially.

An N64 era throwback will bring some more nostalgia to RetroMania Wrestling

Don't hit your opponent below the belt (or do you)! The classic 'ding!' from the Nintendo 64 era of wrestling games will be making a fun comeback in RetroMania Wrestling.

Small tweaks like the old school name plates are made to enhance the overall gaming experience

We'll be including the old school name plates for the entrances of the wrestlers in RetroMania Wrestling. We cannot stress this enough -- these are just small tweaks and are not taking away from pushing out the big updates. We're working tirelessly and appreciate your patience.

We greatly appreciate your support in continuing to follow RetroMania Wrestling. We'll continue to have a new episode of the Developer's Vlog each and every Friday, and you can also check out the recap here on our website.

Stay tuned as we'll have a very big giveaway (literally) later in January, and it's one that you won't want to miss. You better be ready to "Rumble!"
