In the mid-2000s Yuke's developed some of the best wrestling games. In hindsight, the Smackdown vs. Raw games were truly ahead of their time. They had an impressive array of creation features, offered modes not found in any other sports game, and had very enjoyable arcade gameplay. However, in 2012, THQ, the publisher of these games, filed for bankruptcy, leading to 2K acquiring the rights to produce wrestling games. Despite keeping Yuke's at the helm of development, there appeared to be a shift in the quality of the games under 2K's banner.
