WWE Brawl (Nintendo 3DS)

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

This game was never completed and/or given a public release.
As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

WWE Brawl was intended to be published by THQ in 2012, but ended up being scrapped due to the company's financial problems.

A build found on a Nintendo 3DS development cartridge was released on May 17, 2024. It's definitely not finished, as there are multiple graphics labeled "PLACEHOLDER" (including the title screen!), no voice clips (meaning that nothing plays in the Voice section of the Sound Test), and several wrestlers who'd normally be in a WWE game are either absent or unused.

To do:
This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqwopPS4720) shows off some unused content, including a couple of unused areas.

  • Also, the Sound Test menu might include some sounds or music that otherwise go unused. Look into this.

Unused Graphics#

To do:

  • Provide graphic rips of these.
  • Check if the wrestlers mentioned have character selection portrait graphics, as Nichslvl showcased two of them for Steve Austin and Mr. McMahon.

Unused win text screen graphics for Andre the Giant, Steve Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Kelly Kelly, Mr. McMahon, and The Rock can be found in the files.
