SmackDown vs Raw

The best fighting game series of all time. Originally titled SmackDown!, the SmackDown vs Raw series (or SvR) was an annual series of fighting games developed by Yuke's, a game developer from Japan, and published by THQ. As the title suggests, SvR allows players to compete as Superstars from the two primary brands of WWE, which are Raw and SmackDown. The games originally focused on an arcade style of gameplay, but the series got more realistic and complicated as it progressed. Today, it is known as WWE 2K, and it is published by 2K Games. Yuke's still develops the games, but now they get additional help from Visual Concepts, developers of the NBA and NHL 2K series.
