Technos' WrestleFest returns...

Completely out of nowhere, IGN have released a new version of the Technos classic wrestling game, WrestleFest for the iPhone with other versions planned for later in the year.

I found WrestleFest to be a typical shallow arcade experience but definitely a lot of fun too. Not sure how it would play out today but I prefer stuff like this over THQ's usual WWE games. Also, whilst I welcome the inclusion of the current WWE roster (some of the original characters like Demolition are missing probably down to typical BS wrestling politics), I'm not completely sold on the visuals. Is it really that hard to do decent 2D graphics in HD? Saying that, the more I see this, the more I accept them and at least the gameplay and presentation looks to be in tact, which is more than you can say about most remakes of this type.
Hopefully the PS3 and XBox versions will be even better.
