AJ Styles recently spoke with Fightful about the upcoming WWE 2K22 video game release and more. Here are the highlights:
Whether he had any input on his character WWE 2K22 model:
“Pretty much zero. They go, ‘Hey, can you stand there and let us scan you?’ ‘Yep.’ That’s about it. Well, the thing is they already have the way that they’re gonna do it. They know exactly what they want. The fans, they want a certain kind of game that’s built like that. Hey, all the power to you. I’m a big fan of No Mercy on the Nintendo 64. That’s where I stand.”
Other wrestling video games that he loves:
“Yeah, you can do a body slam here or there, but it wasn’t wrestling. It was made by Capcom, who made Street Fighter, and so it was more of a fighting game. You could hit the ropes, but it still wasn’t the same. Wasn’t a big fan. King of Colosseum. Do you remember that? That was a really cool game. I really enjoyed that one. It was hard to figure out, but nothing will compare to Virtual Pro Wrestling 2, which was an All-Japan Wrestling game.”
