I hate the WWEgames,Watch Take Turns Tasting With College Alumni Online as a general rule.
The controls are clunky, the graphics always feel a couple years behind the curve, and the flood of different modes and settings and characters leave me with an acute case of analysis paralysis. Of course, there's also a more fundamental issue: I'm not super invested as a fan in pro wrestling.

It's not that WWEco-developers Yuke's and Visual Concepts make bad games. This series gets annual releases for a reason: they're dripping with fan service/wish fulfillment, and wrestling fans who are also gamers eat them up. I don't get it, but rock on to those who do.
Why, then, is a Switch release the tipping point?
When I sit down in front of my TV and turn on a video game, I want to get lost in it. WWEbreaks that spell because of how cumbersome it feels. It's got all the usual hooks that would normally draw me in -- absurdly deep character creation, an elaborate franchise mode, a huge roster of differently skilled fighters -- but the actual wrestling plays awkwardly and usually devolves into button-mashing.
In other words: it's stressful and annoying. There's nothing to relax with.
Switch offers a compromise that works for me: I'm not tethered to my TV anymore. Mindless button-mashing is a great way to kill time on a commute. So is obsessing over my custom-crafted wrestler's musculature, hairdo, and attire. Or plotting out a TV schedule in the franchise mode. When I'm in my own, little bubble on the subway, all of that sounds very appealing.
I tend to think the Switch is living its best life in its mobile configuration. Playing those games on a TV is fine, but the real appeal -- for me, at least -- is having the ability to carry around the sort of higher-fidelity gaming experiences that have, in the past, been limited to the living room.
WWEis exactly the sort of game that I've always felt would get me more excited if I could take it on the road. Now, I can. And so, for the first time in ages, I'm genuinely excited for the inevitable fall season return of professoinal wrestling's go-to video game.
Here's an announcement trailer featuring Seth Rollins, if you're into that sort of thing. You can also find more details on this year's game right here.
