WWE Superstars John Cena®, Undertaker®, Randy Orton®, Big Show®, The Miz® and Sheamus® Set to Be Featured on Multiple Front Covers of Upcoming Videogame
AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Aug 16, 2010 – THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) today announced eight World Wrestling Entertainment® Superstars will be featured across multiple front covers of WWE® SmackDown® vs. Raw® 2011, the latest edition to the renowned simulation-based cornerstone of the company’s WWE videogame portfolio. WWE Superstars John Cena®, Big Show® and The Miz® are slated to appear on the front cover in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and India, while WWE Superstars Randy Orton®, Undertaker® and Sheamus® will appear on the front cover available throughout Europe. Additional regional covers are expected to be announced later this year. WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 will mark one of the few times in franchise history that multiple variations of cover artwork will be available around the world.
“John Cena, Undertaker, Randy Orton, Big Show, The Miz and Sheamus are incredibly talented WWE Superstars who took part in some of the biggest moments ever witnessed in WWE,” said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Games, THQ. “We look forward to delivering an unparalleled WWE simulation experience with WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011, including best-in-class creative tools and decision-making abilities for players to define their own virtual WWE moments.”
This information comes from the Official Nintendo Magazine…
“It is to fully understand, feel empathy and fight together with Samus Aran. In other words, it is to play Metroid: Other M. I hope you will enjoy playing Metroid: Other M for a perfect Metroid experience… What we asked Team Ninja to do was to properly understand Samus and Metroid and to fully utilise their experience in developing great games. The Prime series, which was developed by Retro Studios, is also a great series, but I was not involved there as the series was developed by other creators who have different perspectives.” – Yoshio Sakamoto, the co-creator of Metroid
Even though there are a lot of doubts about Metroid: Other M – mainly how so much story will affect the game’s experience – it feels nice knowing that Sakamoto is overseeing the project. I don’t think he wants this title to disappoint longtime fans of the series!

Believe it or not, September is just around the corner. How do you want to spend the waning days of summer? You could plunge yourself into an intergalactic battle with Space Trek or A Monsteca Corral: Monsters vs. Robots for the WiiWare™ service. You’ve also got some interesting hand-held options to consider via the Nintendo DSiWare™ service: rule two screens at once in Divergent Shift, enjoy classic tile-matching in 3D Mahjong, take note of the world around you with myNotebook: Carbon™ or try karaoke with a soccer-loving twist in Just SING! National Anthems. Choose any or all of the above and savor the downloadable fun before another summer slips away.
